Join a tour to see the most important sites of Ancient Rome brought to life. Visit the Colosseum, Forum, and Palatine Hill with an expert guide and learn all about a day in the life of Ancient Rome.

Michelangelo's work in the Sistine Chapel is widely regarded as some of the finest artwork ever created. It alone would be worth the price of admission, but the Vatican Museums are full of other works amassed by the popes over centuries – with paintings, sculptures, tapestries, and more. These skip-the-line tickets let you head straight for the entrance. No waiting, just wall-to-wall artistic masterpieces.

The Vatican City may be a tiny country (44 hectares), but it punches well above its weight in many categories. Most of all: culture. There's so much art here that this institution is called the Vatican Museums.

With this skip-the-line ticket you'll miss the infamous museum queues that snake around the walls of Vatican City. Use that extra time to visit all four remarkable collections: classical sculpture, Renaissance masterpieces, and stunning artifacts from Ancient Egypt and the Etruscans.

Make your way to the restaurant located in central Rome where you’ll meet your small group of aspiring pizza chefs and your local guide. Here, you’ll spend a delightful evening learning how to make authentic Italian pizza from fresh ingredients.

The cooking class will set you up with a station including a work plan, an apron and rolling pin. You’ll start with a theoretical and then practical lesson on working the dough, from the ingredients to wait times to two different ways of kneading the dough. Then, choose which type of pizza you’d like to make – marinara (tomato, garlic, oregano), margherita (tomato, mozzarella, basil), diavola (tomato, mozzarella, spicy salami, chili) or Napoli (tomato, mozzarella, anchovies).

After the lesson, you’ll be accompanied to your table where you’ll enjoy a delicious bruschetta while your pizza is cooked in a wood oven. Savor a red or white wine, water or limoncello while you taste your creations.

The sun-kissed Tuscan rooftops and charming passage streets of Florence fan out from its terracotta-tiled centerpiece, the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore.

Scoot past your luckless, queuing peers, and explore the jewel of Firenze with this brief but enlightening guided introduction. You'll be primed with the fascinating history of its construction and decoration.

Walk the spotless marble flooring, savor the stained-glass windows, and marvel at the wondrous frescos, including Vasari's The Last Judgement.

As you gaze up at the Duomo from the cathedral floor, your expert host will take you through its timeline, from humble beginnings as a church in the 7th century, to its 200-year development into the architectural gem you see today.

You'll be dazzled, but don't forget your ticket includes access to the nearby Museo della Misericordia, home to a selection of stunning renaissance paintings.
