You can discover Italy's Capital through the tours organised by the B&B:

Ancient & Old Rome
Our three hour tour is offered every day, and covers all the well known sites of ancient and old Rome, including the Coliseum, the Roman Forum, the Capitoline Hill, Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon, and Piazza Navona.
While the city is breathtaking on its own, these sites are best seen with an experienced guide who can breathe life into its complex and fascinating history. Our professional and experienced guides are not only trained to educate you about history, politics and architecture, they are actors who give you a sense of the real life and times of Ancient and Old Rome (in all of its bestial, dark, and lustful glory) through theatrical and humorous presentations. For the three hours with us, you will play on the stage of ancient Rome -as Gladiator, Emperor, Slave, Vestal Virgin, Senator, Merchant, God/Goddess, Citizen of Rome! Please join us if you wish to live the experience.

Vatican City Tour
Our three hour tour is offered several times a week and covers St. Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums, and the Sistine Chapel.
The Vatican is one of the most interesting and breathtakingly beautiful sites in the world, but it can be a bit overwhelming to the average traveller. Our guides will take you to some of its major attractions, as well as to some lesser known spots, and give you a broad base for understanding the history, architecture, and politics of the Vatican. But don't think that the Vatican is all gold and pomp and stateliness -its history is full of dark tales of deceit and even lust! You will get a taste of it all: the natty gritty and the high and mighty, the dirty politics and the ethereal beauty of Renaissance creation. A world of discovery awaits you, and we are excited to take you there. Please note that a dress code is enforced at St. Peter's, and visitors with exposed shoulders or knees (and this includes shorts) may not be admitted.
 
Catacombs & Roman Countryside
By bus and by foot, our guided tour will take you beyond the city walls:
through the ancient tunnels of Rome's catacombs, along the rustic Appia Way, and under the arches of the aqueducts of antiquity. Enjoy a three hour tour that provides a unique perspective on ancient Rome, in an environment that you have never seen in the city centre. Our bus will take you from the start of the Appia Way, and continue to the southern edge of ancient Rome. With our tourguide, you will make three stops along the way, giving you an opportunity to walk the ancient Roman countryside, explore the underground catacombs, and examine the masterful structure of Rome's remaining aqueducts. The Catacombs of San Sebastiano, Catacombs of San Callisto (location varies by season) and the Tomb of Cecilia Metella, along the Appia Way, Remains of Rome's Aqueducts.

Caravaggio in Rome
His intriguing character and the dramatic light effects in his paintings have made
Caravaggio one of the most talked-about, "trendy" old masters of our time. Born near Milan and raised among the Milanese rich and famous in the late 16th century, Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio did most of his work in Rome, leaving some 16 paintings here for visitors to see today. In addition to taking visitors to see the most important pieces around the city, this guided visit will also cast light on Caravaggio's tumultuous professional and personal life in Rome, bringing you to the scenes of true stories as shocking and dramatic as his paintings themselves. Sights visited: Galleria Borghese, Santa Maria del Popolo, Sant' Agostino, San Luigi dei Francesi, Campo de' Fiori. Optional: Galleria Doria Pamphilj, Palazzo Barberini, Palazzo Corsini, Pinacoteca Vaticana.
