Travel Rome Boss Offers "Da Vinci" Tour at Discount Prices.

Following the success of the Da Vinci Code film launch, Lets-Travel-Rome.com and Viator have cut prices on their Vatican guided tours.

Les Sheppard, CEO of Lets-Travel-Rome.com says "Interest in The Vatican is high at the moment, and the movie also launched strongly in Rome, despite the reservations of the Church."

"We get a lot of feedback from visitors to our site", said Les, "who have ultimately booked their tours through Viator, and they tell us they highly rate this new itinerary. The tour guides are mostly local, and are steeped in the kind of detailed information you'd expect. Viator are also continuing to offer an "Angels and Demons" tour, based on the earlier Dan Brown novel, that has had great feedback from our subscribers."

The Vatican tour begins by coach, passing through Piazza della Repubblica, and following the ancient Aurelian walls which once surrounded the ancient city. The route takes in the famous Borghese park and the northern gate of the ancient city leading into Piazza del Popolo, which features an Egyptian obelisk dating back to the time of Ramses II.

Eventually upon arrival at the Vatican Walls a guide will then leads the tour into the Vatican Museums taking the beautiful Spiral staircase and continuing through the Gallery of the Tapestries and the Gallery of the Geographical Maps before arriving in the famous Sistine Chapel with its magnificent fresco of the Last Judgment by Michelangelo.

The tour can also be combined with further features of Christian Rome, continuing to Esquiline Hill where the guide will show you the treasures of the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, then continuing by coach to stop at the Holy Staircase, the Lateran Palace and the Basilica of San Giovanni, the cathedral of Rome (visit inside). Then proceeding along the Ancient Appian Way, passing by the Chapel of Domine Quo Vadis before arriving at the Catacombs, the ancient underground cemeteries and first hiding places for the Christians.
