Our guide to Skip the line Vatican Museums & Imperial Rome Combo Tour

As you arrive at the Vatican, admire the beautiful architecture of St. Peters Basilica and St Peters Square before meeting your guide by the entrance to the Vatican Museums.

Skip-the-line and enter the Vatican Museums where, accompanied by your guide and a personal headset, you will discover some of the treasures contained within the 2000 rooms and 14 kilometres of corridors.

Afterwards, head to the magnificent St. Peters Basilica, the largest Church in the world, where you will find golden mosaics, several Tombs of Popes and Michelangelo's most important statue 'La Pietà'.

The afternoon itinerary begins at the Arch of Constantine, the largest and one of the best preserved triumphal arches in Rome.

From here, your guide will take you past the queues and inside the Colosseum, one of the world's greatest historical treasures. This amazing amphitheatre dates to the year 72 A.D. and could hold over 50,000 persons.

The tour then heads to the Palatino (Palatine Hill). Sandwiched between the Roman Forum and the Circo Massimo, the Palatino is an atmospheric area of towering pine trees, majestic ruins and memorable views.

Continue to the amazing Roman Forum where you again skip the ticket lines. The Roman Forums were the political and social centre of the Roman Empire and the whole area is literally an open-air museum and here you will find the Temple of Julius Cesar, the Arch of Titus and more.
