Your Itinerary

Chiesa di Santa Maria del Popolo

The Rome tour begins at Piazza del Popolo, in front of Santa Maria del Popolo that holds two extraordinary works of art by Caravaggio (Crucifixion of St. Peter and Conversion on the Way to Damascus) and is topped by a magnificent dome designed and frescoed by Raphael

Admission Included

Campo Marzio

We continue our exploration of the historic center in the Campo Marzio district, along Via Ripetta, where Caravaggio famously drew his inspiration from the large number of prostitutes who inhabited the street

Chiesa di Santa Maria della Pace

From here, we head to the beautiful church of Santa Maria della Pace, taking in Raphael’s fresco of Sybil’s dance and the majestic angels that adorn the ceiling

Admission Included

Sant'Agostino

Then we move on to the Sant’Agostino Church to enjoy a painting and a fresco by our two protagonists before moving on to the church of San Luigi dei Francesi, where the trilogy dedicated to San Matteo is kept (some of the most mysterious and intense paintings ever created by Caravaggio). The artist himself had an indomitable character and non-conformist tendencies that bought him a life of persecution and an early and tragic death

Pantheon

The last attraction on our tour will be the Pantheon, its unique structure establishing it as one of the most impressive architectural features of the city. It was the first pagan temple to be converted to Christianity and today is home to the tombs of the first two kings of Italy, placed here after the unification in 1861. Between them we also find the tomb of Raphael, whose work became the model of perfection in Renaissance painting, earning him a resting place in one of the most famous attractions of the city

Giuseppe was extremely well informed about Caravaggio, Raphael and the history of Rome. He made our tour so memorable. He described the background to the art and set it into context with the Roman Empire. We were a small group of 3 people so it was a very personal and unforgettable experience. Finally we went for an aperitif which was included in the price. I felt that this was unnecessary as we finished the tour at 7pm and had dinner plans. All in all I would thoroughly recommend this tour.

Laura_K

Maria was terrific. She took us through several of the churches that house Caravaggio paintings. How amazing to see them in their chosen setting. Maria was extraordinary in reviewing not only Caravaggio’s paintings, but the ones nearby. It was a really fabulous tour.

Diane_S

<p>This was wonderful. Valentina was so passionate about Caravaggio and we finished at the best restaurant for a delicious small bite to eat and Prosecco and wine. One of my favorites. The churches and Caravaggio came to life for us.</p>

Laurence C

<p>This was a fabulous tour. We had expected a perfunctory explanation of the work and the artist, but our guide, Jeanette, was a very knowledgable and interesting guide. The background information on Caravaggio's life was very useful in putting his work in context. If you truly want to come to know his work, and to get a very strong experience for this section of Rome, between Piazza del Popolo and Piazza Navona, this is a great way to do it.</p>

Jeffrey K

<p>Our very own private little tour as our group of four where the only attendees! Are tour guide was amazing, extremely educated and fun! We were learning so much while causally stolling the streets and popping into different churches here and there. Complete with incredible wine and really wonderful food made this adventure well rounded. Highly reccomended! Would not suggest bringing children on this tour.</p>

nkimtravel

<p>There were 7 of us from USA age range 22 -56. Jeanette was an awesome guide that made the history come alive. We all loved the tour. I would recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in history, art and food. The restaurant we went to afterwards, Casa Coppelle, was the nicest restaurant we have been to in Rome. Thank you, Jeanette!!</p>

Karen K S

<p>Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. It was definitely nice to see the hidden gems of Rome in the churches visited. ,</p>

Peter M

<p>Excellent guide, beautiful paintings and a couple of glasses of wine - whats not to like.<br/> Only caveat: there is a fair amount of walking which some may find daunting.</p>

Johanna C

<p>This was a great tour and certainly worth the money! Jeanette, our guide, was well informed and entertaining and made the stories behind the art come alive. She wove history, sociology, psychology, and art together to give context to these amazing works. Our tour included three churches and six paintings by Caravaggio, as well as stops to look at some Bernini sculptures. Some days the tour includes two churches and the Spanish Steps instead. The two hours of viewing the art, combined with the wine tasting after, was just right. There is a bit of a walk involved, so wear comfortable shoes and clothing and keep in mind that you will need to cover shoulders in the churches. Highly recommended!</p>
