This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Piazza del Popolo, 00187 Rome Italy

Stop At: Via del Babuino e dintorni, Rome Italy
Follow your guide as your group goes into a typical narrow roman street, Via del Babuino. Connecting Piazza del Popolo to Piazza di Spagna, the street is famous for its boutiques and high end shops.
