The journey begins with a scenic drive through storied streets passing the Trevi Fountain’s cascading waters and the sweeping staircases of the Spanish Steps. This portion serves as a moving introduction, offering glimpses of everyday Roman life framed by grand architecture. From there, guests bypass long entry lines with exclusive access to the Colosseum, an ancient amphitheater carved into travertine that once held tens of thousands of spectators.
