The Tour starts at the San Cosimato Market where you can experience a real Italian Market. Here you will start with a slice of white Pizza with Mortadella, a Roman speciality. Discover the narrow and picturesque streets of Trastevere, full of history and beautiful decorations. Our licensed Guide will show you around the beautiful rooms of Villa Farnesina, the Villa commissioned by the great Banquier of the Pope Agostino Chigi at the beginning of the 16th century. Admire the amazing frescoes made by Raphael and his pupils among which the famous Loggia of Amor and Psiche and the Loggia of Galatea.

From here, you will have a stunning view over the Dome of the Saint Peter's Basilica, made by the great Michelangelo Buonarroti.
