Private Rome Tour from the Capitoline Hill to the Pantheon

Pantheon tickets are booked in advance on this one, so the queue is somebody else's afternoon. What follows is a private walk with a licensed guide and no fixed clock: stay longer where it interests you, move on where it does not. The route runs downhill through time. It starts on the Capitoline, the smallest of the seven hills and the one that held the Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus, with a view over the Theatre of Marcellus, the Forum, and the Mamertine prison where Paul was held. Then down to Largo Argentina and the Curia of Pompey, where Caesar was killed, past the Forum of Caesar and Trajan's Column. After that the Baroque takes over: the Trevi Fountain, the Temple of Hadrian standing inside a later building in Piazza di Pietra, the Pantheon and its unsupported concrete dome, San Luigi dei Francesi with three Caravaggios on the life of St Matthew, and Piazza Navona to finish. Ancient, Renaissance, Catholic and Baroque Rome in one walk, which works here because all of it sits within about a kilometre.
