Rome/Colisseum/Trevi Fountain/Pantheon

We have another day with Rome in Limo  to see  the Colisseum, the Vatican, Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon and other city sites.  We have a minibus with 8 people and our driver Nik,  and head out to the Pantheon in the early morning where the streets are quiet, with not too many tourists out. We visit the Pantheon and the church close by, and picked up a dozen rosaries at the souvenir table for co-workers and friends. It had the Popes pictures on one side, the Vatican on the other, and when you opened them up smelled like roses. A quick walk over to Trevi fountain to take some photos, and throw our coins in. Tradition is not for "Good Luck" but "To ensure your return to Rome".  Then we drive through the Beverly Hills of Rome before heading over to the Colisseum. 

 

Best tip ever # Pre buy your tickets online for anything that you can. 

Definitely pre-buy your tickets, otherwise you will have to stand in a really long line to buy them. Our driver dropped us off right in front and we stood in the shortest line for reservations, and turned them in for tickets. This is  the height of the tourist season so everywhere is super crowded. Once we got in we went to the top and circled around taking photos, and then went to the lower level to take photos. Because we had limited time I had all ready down loaded the "Rick Steve's Euro guide " app, and listened to it before I even went there. It helped me explain to my family what we were looking at. We came out, and our driver pulled up to whisk us away to the next destination, but first a quick lunch. We went to a small pizza place that was really reasonably priced  and actually my husband said it was his favorite.
