Arrival

Welcome to Roma! It’s time to settle in and meet our tour guide and other group members before enjoying a walking tour.

Our walking tour of Rome begins in the central Piazza di Spagna.

We will learn about the history of this mythical place, visiting some of the best known artistic sites. If Florence is the city of the Renaissance, then the Italian capital is the city of the Baroque.

We will learn about the characteristics of this artistic style next to the Trevi Fountain, a masterpiece of the sculptor Nicola Salvi. She became even more famous with her appearance in Fellini’s film “La Dolce Vita,” in which Anita Ekberg bathes in its waters. We will also be able to admire the exterior of one of the best preserved monuments of Imperial Rome: the Pantheon of Agrippa, we will finish our ELI tour in Piazza Navona.

In the evening, we will head into town for a fun and social evening on a pub crawl.
