Climb and pose on the storied Spanish steps, and ensure a return trip to Rome when you close your eyes and use your right hand to throw a coin over your left shoulder into the Trevi Fountain! Then enter the medieval Renaissance walls of Vatican City on your private half-day tour of the Vatican with an English-speaking guide. Treasures abound, mysteries revealed, myths and facts separated - your guide will lead an incredible lesson in art, history and architecture, as well as ancient times, the Popes and the revered artists. Walk, talk and taste on your walking food tour, which will begin in Rome's historic food center, Campo de Fiori, a popular food market that boasts stalls overflowing with fresh veggies, meats, and cheeses. Meander down the narrow winding lanes and small piazzas of one of Rome's most picturesque quarters, Trastevere, where you will discover the wonders from the past while making several stops to taste classic Roman dishes like pasta, pizza Bianca, fresh mozzarella, locally cured salami, and artisan gelato. Stop by local grocery stores and delicatessens around Piazza della Cinque Scole for samples of specialties like risotto balls, fried artichokes and codfish.
