Rome Sightseeing
Sightseeing with your Local Guide starts with a visit to the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel. Continue to monumental St. Peter's Square and Basilica. Also visit the Colosseum and the Roman Forum.

Vatican Museums
The Vatican Museums, in Viale Vaticano in Rome, inside the Vatican City, are among the greatest museums in the world, since they display works from the immense collection built up by the Roman Catholic Church throughout the centuries.

Sistine Chapel
Sistine Chapel is the best-known chapel in the Apostolic Palace, the official residence of the Pope in Vatican City. It is famous for its architecture, evocative of Solomon's Temple of the Old Testament, and its decoration which has been frescoed throughout by the greatest Renaissance artists including Michelangelo, Raphael, Bernini, and Sandro Botticelli.

Leaning Tower of Pisa
The Leaning Tower of Pisa or simply the Tower of Pisa is the campanile, or freestanding bell tower, of the cathedral of the Italian city of Pisa. It is situated behind the Cathedral and is the third oldest structure in Pisa's Cathedral Square after the Cathedral and the Baptistry.
Although intended to stand vertically, the tower began leaning to the southeast soon after the onset of construction in 1173 due to a poorly laid foundation and loose substrate that has allowed the foundation to shift direction. The tower currently leans to the southwest.

Florence Sightseeing
Follow your Local Guide to the Academy of Fine Arts and the magnificent Cathedral. Admire Giotto's Bell Tower, the Baptistry's heavy bronze "Gate of Paradise," and sculpture-studded Signoria Square.

Venice Walking Tour
Highlights of your walking tour are St Mark's Square and the byzantine Basilica, lavish Doges' Palace and the Bridge of Sighs. Also watch skilled Glassblowers fashion their delicate objects.

Doge's Palace
The Doge's Palace is a gothic palace in Venice. The palace was the residence of the Doge of Venice.

Bridge of Sighs
The Bridge of Sighs is one of many bridges in Venice. The enclosed bridge is made of white limestone and has windows with stone bars. It passes over the Rio di Palazzo and connects the old prisons to the interrogation rooms in the Doge's Palace.
