THE BEST PART OF TRAVELLING 2 Tours & Activities: the tourism industry has been calling them ancillaries since forever but, we believe, they truly are the best part of travelling. And the latest trends and stats prove us right. T&A is currently the third-largest travel segment, ranking right after flights and hotels and accounting for 10% of global travel revenue: according to the latest surveys, more than 95% of all travellers booked an organized tour, visited a museum or reached one specific attraction. Among these travellers, a good 50% purchases T&A once they reach the chosen destination: letting them know the advantages of booking in advance (e.g. a decreased risk of scams, proper information, reliable customer support and so on) can at the same time improve travel quality while extending the traveller’s length of stay. Offering activities can result in a win-win situation and represents a good chance for up- and cross-selling, both for travel agencies and tour operators. In the following pages, you’ll find the largest T&A offer available in Rome: prime tours, low-budget services, visits to all the main touristic attractions at different prices and times of the day, experiences created for those who already know the city, guided or independent day-trips to Italy’s best destinations for arts and culture. Because Tours & Activities are, to us, anything but ancillaries. AT A GLANCE: Effortless. We developed the new tour pages’ layout to make the consultation easy and smooth. INDEX: 1.

Depending on traffic conditions and on the number of passengers who booked that specific tour, it takes around one hour for the bus to pick up all of the passengers. For this reason, pick-up times are shown as an interval. “Starting from 7:30” means that in order to be on time for the beginning of the tour, we will pick up you from your hotel at 7:30 or later. Dress Code and Clothing Restrictions: In Rome, especially in places of worship and inside the Vatican Museums, it is strictly forbidden to bring strollers, bulky bags and umbrellas. Above-the-knee skirts and pants, low-cut clothing and sleeveless tops are never allowed in places of worship and inside the Vatican. Guests who fail to respect the attire requirements may be turned down at the entrance of the point of interest, therefore we suggest wearing or bringing appropriate clothes before the beginning of the tour.
