Meet your guide in front of the Babingtons Tea Room at the base of the Spanish Steps. Your guide will be holding an "E&D Tours" sign.
Your guide will start the tour with an introduction and a short tour of the Spanish Steps and Piazza di Spagna.
Follow your guide down the extravagant and posh Via Dei Condotti. This is the heart of Rome's shopping district, and it is always beautifully decorated for Christmas.
Walk one of the busiest Roman streets to a tiny place hardly marked on maps.
Arguably the most charming place during Christmas, San Lorenzo in Lucina Square will leave you speechless.
The next stop is the Piazza Colonna Square. Stop here for a quick look at the ancient column of Marcus Aurelius.
Just across the street from the Piazza Colonna Square is the Galleria Sordi. Admire the stunning glass ceiling and take a little break from walking.
We stop outside the Pantheon, admiring its grand columns and festive atmosphere, illuminated by twinkling holiday lights. Take a moment to enjoy the bustling piazza, where history and seasonal cheer blend seamlessly.
In Piazza Navona, marvel at festive Christmas markets set against the backdrop of Baroque fountains and grand architecture. Twinkling lights and the aroma of roasted chestnuts fill the air, making it a magical holiday stop in Rome.
Follow your guide to the next destination down the very scenic via Dei Coronari Street.
