Do you speed date too? Don't forget to stop once in awhile and enjoy the atmosphere of this beautiful city and soak up the wine or is it soak up the atmosphere and enjoy the wine? To each his own but it looks quite possible. Have fun.

I would put the pantheon on the day you are seeing Campo di fiori as they are close to each other. I'm not sure I would do a vatican museums tour and the Borghese gallery in the same day. Donna

Agree with Donna. Touring the Vatican and Villa Borghese (for which you of course have the required reservation) in the same day is going to make your eyes roll back in your head. Seriously, there is A LOT to take in at each place and trying to absorb it all in one day, well, you're a better man than I am (oh, that's right I'm a woman but you get the point LOL):) You are going to have a terrific time. Rome is great but remember that sometimes seeing less is actually seeing more.

Luis: You're staying in one city, so the worst that can happen, if your itinerary is too aggressive, is that you just decide at a certain point in the evening to call it a day. Where travelers get in trouble with itineraries that are too aggressive is where they are traveling from one city to another and don't allow enough time for travel and either don't get to their next hotel or get there at midnight and are locked out.
