Overview

After meeting at the Arch of Constantine, you and your group will enter the ancient Colosseum. Listen as your guide brings the historic stadium to life, painting exciting pictures of the glorious games, bloodthirsty fights, and gory executions that happened here for almost 500 years. You'll feel like you've gone back in time!

As you move to the Palatine Hill and Roman Forum, you'll walk in the footsteps of Emperors through the ruins of the Imperial Palace and follow the routes of great senators and orators as we wind through the towering temples and archways of the Forum. Your expert guides will bring the hustle and bustle of the ancient city back to life through incredible stories and facts - some of them as old as 2000 years!

*Please note we will either start with the Colosseum or the Roman Forum/Palatine Hill depending on the time of tickets we can purchase*
**Colosseum admission is free on the first Sunday of the month. Tours are discounted on these days.**

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Colosseum, Piazza del Colosseo, 00184 Rome Italy

You will retrace the steps of the Gladiators, accompanied by exciting stories, told by your local, expert guide. Uncover the history of the events that unfolded inside the great walls of the world-famous Colosseum. Bring the ancient monument to life, and gain all the insights into the life of the Roman people that once filled the arena.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Palatine Hill, Piazza Santa Maria Nova, 53, 00186 Rome Italy

The Palatine Hill is the most beautiful and important of Rome’s great seven hills, and is a must-see on any tour of the city. Here, with the aid of your guide, you can discover the birthplace of one of the greatest civilisations in history, and explore the ancient ruins of the Imperial Palace, surrounded by towering pine trees and spectacular views of the Circus Maximus and the Roman Forum below.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Roman Forum, Largo della Salara Vecchia 5/6, 00186 Rome Italy

It is vital to visit the political, social, and commercial heart of downtown Rome to truly understand the spirit of life in Roman times. Here you will walk original Roman roads, the Via Sacra and the Via Nova, which weave amongst ornate arches, towering temples, and the spirits of the myth-shrouded Romulus and the world-famous Julius Caesar. Although less than half of the forum is complete today, your guides will fill in all the empty spaces with their extensive knowledge and passion, which will restore the city to its former glory.

Duration: 30 minutes

    This tour was fantastic but I think it was our guide that made it the best!! The Colasseum is amazing in itself and the Palestine Forum was incredible. Our Guide was knowledgeable and so fun to hang out with! She helped us navigate crowds perfectly so we were able to get all the highlights in! The history was amazing to now understand! This tour is a must do and hope you get the same guide.

    The scenery was really cool and we had an amazing tour guide! Barbara was really engaging and I liked the way she talked She was really good at explaining everything we were seeing and it’s history in detail I liked her positive attitude and she seemed really sincere and excited about everything we were taking about I also liked that she has a broad vocabulary, she described and explained things with lots of different words that I wouldn’t have thought to use She was also pretty funny! Overall it was a really nice experience! :)
