Inside, circles and squares form a unifying theme, highlighting the tombs of kings and Renaissance artist Raphael.

The Trevi Fountain in Rome, also known as Fontana di Trevi, is one of the most famous fountains in the world, drawing millions of visitors to the Eternal City each year.

Catacombe di San Callisto

The Catacombe di San Callisto, also known as the Catacombs of Saint Callixtus in Rome, is an ancient underground cemetery that was the official burial place for the early Christian community in the third century. Around half a million Christians, including martyrs and 16 popes like Pope Damasus, found their final resting place here. The catacombs are named after Deacon St. Callixtus, whom Pope Zephyrinus put in charge of managing the cemetery in the early third century. Later on, the site gained even more historical importance when Giovanni Battista de Rossi, the founder of sacred archaeology, rediscovered and studied these catacombs in the 19th century. Today, it's a popular spot to learn more about early Roman Christian history. As you walk through the dark, damp passageways, you’ll discover early Christian tombs, beautiful frescoes, and even the burial sites of popes and martyrs.

The e-voucher provided by the Klook platform cannot be used directly. Please remember to refer to the email sent by the tour operator and go to the designated meeting point at the specified time to check in with the staff. After checking in, the tour guide will distribute tickets and audio guides to the group members (please keep your tickets safe, as they will be checked at least twice after entering the Vatican). Our tour guide was very responsible and knowledgeable, providing us with detailed explanations of the historical background and interesting facts about the Vatican and its architecture, which was very enriching. Please note that once you leave a building within the Vatican, you cannot re-enter it. If you wish to visit again, you will need to purchase another ticket (for example, once you leave the museum for the chapel, you cannot return to the museum). Also, this tour does not include Raphael's Rooms. Tickets to climb the dome must be purchased separately. The dome has two levels: the first level has 300 steps (with an elevator), and the second level to the very top has 200 steps (no elevator). From the highest building in Rome, you can overlook the entire city.

Despite the severe heat, our guide was extremely good in providing us a great experience! It started with a courtesy call to confirm our arrival at the designated area, followed by a tour with a plethora of knowledge sharing and information to make our experience a memorable. I feel terrible about not being sure of his name, but I’ve included a photo of him… and to him I say thank you!

The dates we chose for our trip unfortunately coincided with a cycling event in Italy, which prevented us from visiting downtown Naples. We received a notification email three days before our trip, which also mentioned the option to change our dates. At the time, we thought we could still visit Pompeii, so we didn't reply. However, the staff member even called us specifically to follow up, and we are truly grateful for their diligence and responsibility. We initially thought everyone had received advance notice, but upon gathering on the day of the tour, we discovered that many participants who booked through other platforms had not been informed and only learned from the guide on the day of check-in that they couldn't go to Naples. We were really glad we booked our tour through Klook. Our Italian guide was very professional and passionate about the region, providing us with fluent English and Spanish commentary on the unique scenery, famous attractions, and historical stories along the way. They also offered many suggestions for visiting Pompeii to those who didn't participate in the group tour and provided practical information for our dessert time in modern Pompeii, which was very enriching! Many thanks to our responsible and friendly guide and driver!

What to know before visiting Rome

Discover Rome’s rhythm and top experiences

Rome’s visitor season peaks in early summer, with Historical sites, Tours and Attraction passes leading Klook bookings through the year. Demand builds from spring into a clear June high, while museums and cultural experiences remain steady parts of the mix.

When to visit for crowds and prices

According to Klook booking data, June is the busiest month and February the quietest. Prices drift through the year: they’re typically lowest around March and rise toward a peak in December. If you want smaller crowds and lower typical prices, aim for March or the quieter late-winter months; for the full peak‑season atmosphere, visit in June. Note that demand and prices don’t move in perfect lockstep — June shows the biggest demand spike while December is the priciest month on average.

Tips for travellers from Australia

Most travellers from Australia typically book about a month in advance, with many locking things in earlier for peak periods and some last‑minute options available about 20 days out. For a flexible short trip you can often book a few weeks ahead, but if you’re travelling in June consider arranging key experiences earlier on Klook to secure preferred times.
