Explore the art history of Renaissance Rome in style on a private walking tour with an art expert. Accompanied by your own private guide who specializes in art history, you'll enjoy personalized attention on your special private tour of Renaissance Rome's artistic and architectural highlights.
Your private walking tour starts at Villa Farnesina, the magnificent residence built at the beginning of the 16th century and decorated with frescoes by Raphael, Giulio Romano and Peruzzi. The highlights are Raphael's superb High Renaissance frescoes of the Galatea, the beautiful sea nymph riding across the sea, and the loggia of Cupid and Psyche.
You will then cross the Tiber River to reach the 16th-century Palazzo Spada and admire the famous Perspective conceived by Borromini. The tour continues to Piazza Farnese, where you will see the impressive facade of one of the most famous Renaissance palaces in Rome, designed by Michelangelo and other famous architects.
The tour finishes in the Piazza della Cancelleria, in front of the palace built at the end of the 15th century for Cardinal Raffaele Riario.
This in-depth private tour of Rome’s Renaissance artworks, piazzas and palaces is hosted by an English-speaking guide specializing in art history. Please list any special interests you have (art, architecture, history, culture) at the time of booking to alert your guide, so they can prepare for your private tour.
