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

Just West of the Colosseum is the Roman Forum, which for many centuries was the place where the future of the ancient western civilization was decided. We will also provide you with skip-the-line access to the Roman Forum and you will still be under the careful attention of our expert guide. Although today the Roman Forum stands in ruins, for many reigns it was at the very center of Rome’s activities. It started as a marketplace for daily shopping, but as the power of the Empire grew, it became much more important. In this part of the tour, you will explore the remnants of ancient grandiose temples, bustling marketplaces and imposing civic buildings. We will also show you the place where Rome first began – on Palatine Hill.
Rome’s ancient existence has earned it the name “the Eternal City,” and its time as the ruling city of the lands bordering the Mediterranean Sea has earned it the designation, “Capital of the World.”

The tour was amazing. Our guide for the Forum, Danielle, was wonderful. There was so much historical information shared that helped to put all we saw into perspective. Our guide for the Colosseum Underground was very good and the tour provides access to areas not otherwise open for viewing? Definitely, a must for a Rome visit.

An amazing afternoon with our guide. She was extremely knowledgeable and a fabulous historian having grown up in Rome. What an amazing historical place with layers upon layers of history.

Good tour. We did have our time changed to a later time but not by too much. Communication was good letting us know. We started in the forum and Palatine Hill, which was nice because as we left, the line was out of this world. Smart move. We then went over to the Colosseum. Easy entry. Looking back, I would always 100% recommend the underground. You get private access and only so many people can be down there at once. Be sure to go on a dry day, we were the last to make it as it started down pouring. So the rest missed out. Be sure to bring your ID (copy of passport). Looks like it depends on the person doing checks, they took both but we had our actual passport just in case as suggested. Dress well for the weather! You’re outside. Only knocked a star off for a few reasons. Tour guide was good, but at times hard to understand and sometimes a little all over the place. But still, great info. Also, I read that people’s times can be changed because the companies can’t get enough tickets. I feel they should be able to provide what they sold and not inconvenience people. However, I would still do this tour again.

We are a family of 4 to join Barbara as our guide through the Roman ruins and the Colosseum. We had a great time skipping the long line to enter the Colosseum, learning about the history, wondered what it would be like to be in this stadium almost 2000 years ago. We were able to take quite a few great family photos in the Colosseum thanks to her divide-and-conquer strategy to colonize spots for our group. We could not be more pleased to join this tour and have Barbara as our guide. Thank you!
