"A very informative 1 hour cruise on the Seine through Paris. The tour guide was excellent, speaking three languages to describe the notable buildings, bridges, monuments and history as we went along. He was an excellent guide.

Visit the iconic white-domed basilica offering panoramic views of Paris, a serene and spiritual experience atop Montmartre.

"I recently visited Basilique du Sacré-Cœur, and it was a beautiful and memorable experience. The basilica itself is stunning, with its bright white exterior and impressive architecture standing proudly at the top of Montmartre. It does get very crowded, especially during the day, so be prepared for the rush. I would highly recommend visiting early in the morning to truly enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and take in the views without too much crowd. One helpful tip: if you have a Navigo or any Paris travel pass, you can use it for the Montmartre funicular (cable car) to reach the top. It makes the climb much easier and saves your energy. The panoramic view of Paris from the top is absolutely worth it. Whether you’re visiting for the spiritual experience, the architecture, or the scenery, it’s definitely a must-visit spot in Paris. Highly recommended."— Aromal sathyan

Whether you love opera, architecture, or simply beautiful places, this is an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend! 💖"— Karen

Explore the famous wax museum in Paris, featuring lifelike figures of celebrities and historical personalities in elaborate settings.

"Too bad you can’t book a time slot in advance. We had to wait in the rain (tho the staff was kind and gave out umbrellas during the waiting time) even though we had already booked tickets. Because it was during school break (we’re guessing that’s why it was so crowded) we had to be patient. The museum in itself is beautiful but some of the statues aren’t really worth it or well done. It’s good to swing by just to see out of curiosity but nothing breathtaking. I was more impressed at Madame Tussaud’s in London. But the building in itself is a museum."— Lou Travel

Enjoy a leisurely morning walk through the elegant Parc Monceau, known for its picturesque follies, ancient trees, and tranquil atmosphere, a perfect spot for a relaxed start to the day.

Explore the opulent Musée Jacquemart-André, a beautifully preserved 19th-century mansion housing a remarkable private collection of French, Italian, and Dutch art, alongside lavish period furnishings.

There’s some performance presented by actors and actress dressed in costumes delivered in French, which seems very engaging. At my third trip in Paris I finally began to explore places like this that might not be top sought after by tourists yet aesthetically as satisfying."— Yulan Zhou

Take a leisurely and romantic stroll through the charming narrow, cobblestone streets of Lucerne's Old Town. Admire the beautifully painted facades of historic buildings and picturesque fountains, soaking in the medieval atmosphere.

Enjoy a final scenic view of the Reuss River and the historic buildings from this charming bridge in Lucerne's Old Town, a lovely last glimpse of Swiss nature and culture.

"A lovely pedestrian bridge right in the heart of Lucerne, and one of the best places to enjoy the atmosphere of the old town. Rathaussteg sits next to the Rathaus (Town Hall), a Renaissance building from the early 1600s, and it offers beautiful views of the Reuss River, the historic facades along the waterfront, and the Kapellbrücke in the distance. The bridge itself is modern compared to the city’s medieval landmarks, but it perfectly connects both sides of the old town and has become a popular spot for photos, evening walks, and simply enjoying the river scenery."— Patrizia Iginia Palazzini

Learn the secrets of traditional Roman pasta-making from a local chef, creating classic dishes like Cacio e Pepe or Carbonara. This immersive experience offers a deeper cultural and food connection, perfect for a romantic evening.

"If you're looking for the perfect blend of hands-on cooking, cultural insight, and unforgettable Roman hospitality, look no further than Rome with Chef. My experience was nothing short of phenomenal, and it stands out as a highlight of my trip. From start to finish, this was more than just a cooking class; it was a deep dive into the heart of Italian cuisine and tradition. The entire event was incredibly informative and educational. We didn't just follow recipes—we learned the "why" behind the techniques, the importance of seasonal ingredients, and the stories that make each dish a part of Rome's history. A particularly fun and unexpected highlight was learning how to craft the perfect Italian aperitivo drinks, which added a whole other layer of authenticity to the experience. The true stars of the show were our two expert chefs, Sherry and Gabi. Their passion for food (and drinks!) was contagious, and their knowledge seemed boundless. They were fantastic and exceptionally skilled at teaching, breaking down complex methods into simple, manageable steps—whether we were kneading pasta dough or balancing the flavors of a cocktail. They patiently answered every question, offered helpful tips, and created a warm, supportive atmosphere where everyone felt capable and inspired. We prepared a full, traditional Roman meal, and sitting down to enjoy the fruits (and drinks!) of our labor together was a joyous and deeply satisfying conclusion. In summary: Rome with Chef delivers an exceptional, authentic, and immersive experience. It’s perfect for anyone who wants to move beyond being a passive tourist and truly connect with Italian culture through its food and aperitivo tradition. Thanks to the brilliant instruction of Sherry and Gabi, you leave not only with a full stomach but with new skills, wonderful memories, and a genuine taste of Roman life."— Sebastian Hammershøi

Marvel at the breathtaking illusionistic frescoes by Andrea Pozzo on the ceiling, creating an incredible sense of depth and grandeur in this Baroque church. A true masterpiece of cultural and historical art.

"This church is one of the most breathtaking examples of Baroque art in Rome. While the facade is beautiful, the interior is truly mind-blowing. The ceiling fresco by Andrea Pozzo is a masterpiece of trompe-l'œil, creating an incredible 3D illusion that makes the ceiling look like it’s opening up to heaven. ​Pro Tip: Look for the golden disc on the floor in the center of the nave—that is the perfect spot to appreciate the perspective. Also, don't miss the "fake dome." If you stand on the second marker further down, the flat painting looks like a real, massive dome! There is also a mirror available to take perfect photos of the ceiling for a small fee (which goes to charity/lighting). As a Project Manager, I am amazed by the mathematical precision required to create such an optical illusion in the 17th century."— Vardan Arakelian

Embark on a comprehensive guided tour of the Colosseum, Rome's iconic amphitheater, and then explore the sprawling ruins of the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, delving into the heart of ancient Roman life and governance.

Discover the unique three-tiered structure of the Basilica of San Clemente, exploring a medieval basilica, an early Christian church, and an ancient Roman Mithraic temple below.

Explore the world's first public museums on Capitoline Hill, home to an exceptional collection of ancient Roman artifacts, sculptures, and art, including the iconic She-Wolf statue.

"As far as expos go I was not very impressed, but was blown away by the amazing and imposing architecture. The museums are housed in stunning, grand buildings, they barely feel built by humans hands. Absolutely amazing to visit. We had seen them from afar and they seemed interesting, but once inside you really see how outstading they are. Once you reach the top you get an amazing view of Rome from above. Breathtaking and beautiful. Definitely worth a visit!"— Vlad Cristian

Visit the remarkably preserved ancient Roman temple, now a church, famous for its massive unsupported dome and the oculus open to the sky, offering a profound sense of history and spirituality.

"It pays to buy tickets to skip the line. Try for first entrance of the day so that you can enjoy the amazing space for a little while without shoulder-to-shoulder people. We also purchased the audio guide which was extremely well-done. Everyone in our group (50-60s, 30, and tweens) thought it was one of the best audio guides we'd ever listened to. Don't rush: there is SO much history here. Bonus is watching the light change throughout your visit. Highly recommend!"— Roswitha Firth

Marvel at the spectacular Baroque Trevi Fountain, renowned for its intricate sculptures and the tradition of tossing a coin to ensure a return to Rome. A perfect spot for a romantic moment.

"One of the absolute highlights of my trip! It was very busy when I visited in the afternoon, but I was expecting that. Even so, I decided to pay the €2 to access the lower section of the fountain — and I’m so glad I did. The queue moved quickly, and once I saw the fountain up close, I was completely in awe. At that point, the €2 felt like nothing at all. I also went back another morning at 6 am, and it was a completely different experience. There were only a handful of people around, the sunrise was beautiful, and the atmosphere felt calm and magical. With no staff present, people were simply moving the fences to walk down closer to the fountain. I would highly recommend visiting — it’s easily one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen."— Kiri Hawkins

Along with this there is a lot of Bernini work, which is also spectacular."— Isadora Carvalho Abreu

Explore Castel Sant'Angelo, originally Emperor Hadrian's mausoleum, later a papal fortress and prison. Ascend to the top for panoramic views of Rome and the Tiber River.

"I had wanted to visit Castel Sant'Angelo ever since I arrived in Italy over 20 years ago. The day was perfect for it with a bright blue Roman sky. It's impressive and but for tge really long queue outside, I might have gone in and explored the Museum and sat on the terrace bar drinking a coffee while looking out across the city. Rome was incredibly full of tourists but at least I got to see the castle."— Joe Sidonio

Explore this private art gallery housed in a lavish palace, featuring masterpieces by Bernini, Velázquez, Caravaggio, and more. Wander through its opulent rooms filled with stunning art and furnishings.

"One of the most impressive and immersive museums I have visited. The (free) audio tour is a great addition.

Wander through the bustling Campo de' Fiori market, sampling fresh produce, cheeses, and traditional Roman street food from local vendors. Experience the vibrant atmosphere and local life.

"Nice open-air market in a great central location. There are plenty of fresh fruits, vegetables, spices, and small food products to look at. It does feel a bit touristy and prices are slightly higher, but it’s still a pleasant place to walk around in the morning and enjoy the atmosphere. You can also find souvenirs like magnets and bags for a good price, which makes it a convenient stop for small gifts. It’s also a historic square where Giordano Bruno was executed, and there is a statue of him in the middle of the square, which adds historical significance to the visit."— Julia

Explore masterpieces by Bernini, Canova, and Caravaggio in the elegant Borghese Gallery, housed in a former villa.

"We booked the English tour at 5pm which was excellent. The tour guide was very informative. Two hours is just enough to complete the tour and circle back around to focus on the areas you enjoyed. After the chaos of the Vatican museums, this gallery was a welcome place of calm to explore some beautiful works of art. Definitely worth a visit!"— Aimee Francisco

Stroll through the expansive and beautifully landscaped Villa Borghese Gardens, enjoying panoramic views and serene pathways. Perfect for a relaxing walk.

"Such an amazing park to walk around and relax. The small lake and the Temple of Aesculapius are gorgeous and it's very calm, not many tourists walking around. Well worth a visit when in Rome."— Sidónio Sousa

Visit the grand Piazza del Popolo, an iconic Roman square, and ascend to the Pincio Terrace for a final romantic panoramic view over the city.

"Passeggiata del Pincio is more than a viewpoint above Piazza del Popolo. Designed in the early nineteenth century as a public promenade, it turns the climb from the square into a carefully staged sequence of ramps, terraces, trees and pauses, before opening onto one of Rome’s classic panoramic views. The layout still feels deliberate rather than merely scenic, with the city spread below, busts of famous figures lining the walk, and layers of garden design, memorial space and urban theatre folded into the same route. For much of modern Rome it was the place for an evening stroll, and that social history still clings to it. Even now, the Passeggiata works best as a moving experience: walking, looking, slowing down, and letting the city assemble itself below."— Loo Yeo
