Stop At: Pantheon, Piazza della Rotonda, 00186 Rome Italy

Rome's Pantheon, the ancient temple of all the gods, was built between AD 118-125 by Emperor Hadrian. Its dome was the largest dome ever until Brunelleschi's dome at the Florence Cathedral was built in 1420-36. In the 7th century, it was made into a church by early Christians but it's still the best-preserved building of ancient Rome.

Duration: 15 minutes

Stop At: Piazza Navona, 00186 Rome Italy

You’ll stroll through the bustling Piazza Navona, named the most beautiful square in Italy, which houses three magnificent fountains including the famous Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi (Fountain of the Four Rivers) by Bernini. Piazza Navona is also one of the liveliest squares of Rome with several quaint outdoor restaurants and cafes.

Duration: 15 minutes

Stop At: Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi, Piazza Navona, 00186 Rome Italy

The Fountain of the Four Rivers, centrally located in Rome's Piazza Navona, is a monumental statement of Gian Lorenzo Bernini's creative genius. Commissioned in the mid-17th century, the fountain serves as a celebration of the world's four major rivers across four continents: the Nile, Danube, Ganges, and Rio de la Plata. Each river is represented by a distinct figure, intricately carved to symbolize its unique character. Exuding a dynamic spirit of the Baroque era, the fountain adds not only to the city's aesthetics but also narrates tales that are integral to Rome's artistic and cultural history.

Duration: 5 minutes

Stop At: St. Angelo Bridge, 00186 Rome Italy

Ponte Sant'Angelo, initially built by Emperor Hadrian in 134 AD, is famed for its angel statues, a project overseen by Gian Lorenzo Bernini in the 17th century. These statues, embodying the Passion of Christ, crown the bridge with a sense of the sacred, making it a visually stunning experience that connects Rome's rich history with Bernini's Baroque artistry.

Our private tour was with Gianluca Pica. We didn’t meet him at the hotel, but a nearby square. He was very knowledgeable about Rome and it’s history. It is a long walk, but the best way to see the sights as they appertain to the book/film, Angels & Demons. We both thoroughly enjoyed the tour. You are shown things you would never normally notice. Gianluca was very courteous about coffee/loo breaks and general comfort levels. The churches en route, whilst commonplace in Rome, are spectacular. Worth giving this a try, even if you haven’t any interest in the book.

What an amazing tour! Elisa Taddei is a wonderful guide full of knowledge and will keep you entertained! I strongly recommend her! We also had her for the colosseum and Roman forum tour. 100/100 experience.

If only I could give 10 stars I would! My guide was Gianluca Pica and he was absolutely fabulous in every way. We saw all the sites from the Angels and Demons movie as well as got even deeper into the history of the artwork, churches and monuments. I was so impressed with Gianluca that I booked him again 2 days later for another tour of sites in Rome.

Francesco was our guide for a walking ‘Angels and Demons’ tour for our large group of 13 which included 7 children (ages 4-13). Although we weren’t sure if walking all over Rome with little ones in slightly rainy weather was a good idea Francesco made the tour accommodating and entertaining. Learned so much about many unknown Roman facts and the background stories that made them. We also did the Colosseo tour with him as well and were very grateful to not have to spend so much time and energy in lines buying tickets and time reading placards since I can never concentrate on those things while also keeping an eye on my kids. It was nice to know that if I felt I missed something he was able to fill me in as we walked. Highly recommend for making the most out of your time in Rome and enjoying your holiday with friends and family. Great memories!
