Editor's take
Through Eternity links ancient Rome with the Vatican in a 7-hour private walking tour. Your party covers the Colosseum and Forum, then the Vatican Museums with the Sistine Chapel and St Peter's Basilica. Departures begin at 09:00.
Your party has its own guide throughout. Cancellation is free at least 24 hours before departure. Separate visits are better if you want longer inside. Long queues or unavailable weekend reservations can leave the Pantheon visit outside.
