Things to Do in Rome
The best things to do in Rome are really about experiencing those famed ruins, monuments, the Vatican City and food markets. But with Scott Dunn, you can do those otherwise typical activities in a bespoke elevated way that truly provides a unique exclusive lens. Here’s what we recommend you do in Rome and also how to do it.

Private Vatican & Art Tours
Art and history are the main reasons why travelers year after year visit Rome, to get a taste of the Italian culture that still amazes people today. Needless to say, visiting Rome’s cultural hotspots are often the busiest, but through our esteemed connections, we create private ways of touring these busy spots.
Choose between an early morning or after-hours tour of the Vatican museums. For the morning, tour the Vatican before the doors open to the general public for a private art tour before enjoying some free time for self-exploration, or for a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience visit the museums and Sistine Chapel after hours, as the dusky glow of sunset illuminates the gilded walls on a private tour.
We also offer the Borghese Museum in a similar fashion, paired with a bike ride and picnic, or for an open-air concept, explore the Baroque architecture that fills the city with an art historian to see the past come to life.

Family-Friendly City Tours
Young minds will love getting lost on a Rome city break, enjoying a Leonardo di Vinci scavenger hunt where an inventor has hidden Da Vinci’s projects across the city. Work together as a family to uncover the secrets and solve riddles, before ending at the Da Vinci Museum, where kids can appraise the collection with new appreciation.
For older kids, Rome’s food markets are always a must. We love Testaccio for its authenticity, and with a professional expert, you’ll tour the street food market learning about its history, traditional meals, and local ingredients before dining on a special market lunch.

Gastronomical Experiences
Rome is a treasure trove of foodie experiences. From private pasta-making classes and food tours with local experts to wine tastings with a sommelier.
One of our favorite experiences is an exclusive Italian Aperitivo tasting in the fairytale neighborhood of Trastevere. With a professional sommelier, learn about the tradition of aperitivo and enjoy it paired with fine finger foods while you learn how to prepare an exquisite Martini and Spritz.

Explore Historic Tivoli
Take a day from the city and explore the Italian countryside on a drive to the charming town of Tivoli, where you’ll find the historic Villa d’Este and Hadrian’s Villa.
This stunning hilltop town gives you a taste of the quintessential Italian countryside, and with your private guide, you’ll tour the two famed villas here. Hadrian’s Villa is a particular delight, covering 250 acres and more than 30 buildings, this 2nd-century masterpiece is a testament to Emperor Hadrian’s power.

FAQs about Rome Vacations
-
The best time to visit Rome is during the spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October) when the weather is pleasant, and the crowds are smaller. These seasons offer the ideal climate for exploring the city's outdoor attractions and enjoying alfresco dining.
-
We recommend around 3-4 nights in Rome and then pairing it with a tour of Italy's other iconic cities, such as Venice and Florence, or on a truly epic trip of Rome, the Italian Lakes and the Amalfi Coast.
3-4 nights is enough time to get a feel of the city and see the celebrated landmarks, while still leaving room to see the quintessential Italian countryside or coast.
