Christmas Trips · ROME CHRISTMAS TOURS
December has more evenings than a trip has room for. These 4 rome christmas tours justify the slot, priced and timed so you can decide in minutes and get back to the fun part.
Spend two hours in Rome’s St. Paul’s Within the Walls with the Orchestra of I Virtuosi dell’Opera di Roma, soprano Ms. Testa, tenor Mr. Gentili, and baritone Mr. Utzeri. Choose a New Year’s Eve or January 1 concert featuring Verdi, Puccini, Mozart, Rossini, and Strauss.
“It was a surreal experience to attend the concert on a new year’s eve in the church. Loved it”
Join a local guide at 5:30 pm for a 90-minute Christmas walk through Rome, from the Spanish Steps and Via dei Condotti to Piazza Navona, Castel Sant’Angelo, and St. Peter’s Square. Expect a group of up to 15, evening lights, Roman traditions, and plenty of walking.
“I took this tour with my adult daughter. Tour was lovely. We did finish a long way from the start, otherwise we thoroughly enjoyed it”
Spend 90 minutes at Rome’s Capuchin Convent with a Christmas concert by the Schola Romana Ensemble, then visit the museum and crypt. Choose a self-guided audioguide in 13 languages or a VIP English tour for up to 10 people.
“The details don’t clearly include that there is a brief museum tour and crypt visit before the concert. The concert was lovely and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The music is Christmas music sung during the baroque period, 15th century.”
Ride through Rome after dark in a Vespa sidecar, starting at Piazza della Repubblica and ending at Piazza Navona. An English-speaking guide covers the Spanish Steps, St. Peter’s Square, Janiculum Hill, Trastevere, the Jewish Ghetto, and Christmas-lit streets. You sit back while a professional driver handles the traffic.
“Really fantastic night zipping around Roma seeing the city, the lights and Christmas decorations. Daughter claimed the side car so I can't comment on its comfort, but the vespas are a fun way to travel, and gives access to Rome's alleys and back streets.. The team did a great job in making us feel welcome and ensuring our safety. Everything was clean and efficient. Highly recommend this tour at any time of the year, but it is something special at Christmas.”
Pick a market, a lights run or a night in the snow.
