Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

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

Your journey into antiquity begins with the Colosseum, one of the world’s most iconic sights. Your guide will call on their historical and archaeological expertise to tell you all about the battles, both physical and political, that played out in this incredible amphitheater. You might be surprised to learn that ‘Gladiator’ didn’t get everything right and that feats of ancient engineering even allowed the Romans to re-enact naval battles here.

Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes

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

The next stop takes you back to the very beginning. The Palatine Hill is the spot Romulus chose to found the city that would become Rome in 753 BC – a decision that ended in tragedy for his brother Remus. Here, steeped in history, you’ll enjoy spectacular views overlooking your next destination: the Roman Forum.

Duration: 1 hour

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

The Forum and the Via Sacra, the Sacred Way, were the heart of Ancient Rome. All of Roman life could be found in this bustling marketplace: commerce and trade, political rallies, military parades, and the sacred ceremonies of the Vestal Virgins.

In just three hours, you’ll experience all that allowed Rome to endure so long – staying immersed in history the entire time, without wasting a moment waiting in line.

Guide was pretty difficult to understand, felt like it was first day she was doing that. We spent 2h in the coliseum, lots of people didn’t even stayed until the end of the visits

Our tour guide was exceptional and knew the history down to the most minuscule detail. We wanted a history lesson and we received one.

Excellent tour of the Colosseum, Palatine Hill and The Forum. Our guide Maria Luisa was fabulous! Superb knowledge and really friendly. She was incredibly enthusiastic and clearly knew her stuff inside out. Her stories and photos really brought the tour to life. Having headphones meant we didn't miss anything at all and the tour was a decent pace, meaning we saw everything but were not rushed at all. Would highly recommend this tour and of course Maria Luisa as a tour guide!

Terrible. Showed up and no guide was there. Had to call only to be told I was emailed in December advising me they changed date. I had no email in December. Found one in January but it never said anything only had a new date. La Vacanza Travel app did not show new date. I have pics. I am not in Italy on new date. Terrible.
