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.

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.

Giuseppe was a wonderful guide. Incredibly well informed, he led a well paced tour which took us through the Forum and Palantine Hill ahead of the crowds. The wait for our entry into the Colesseum was long, but I don’t think that was within his control. He had wonderful stories, lots of history and clearly a passion for the topic.

What a horrible experience!! They wouldn’t allow us to join in the group because we were 4 minutes late..it had rained and traffic was horrible of course..they didn’t offer another time for us to tour..City Wonders contacted us the next day after I asked for a refund and of course they lawyered up and gave me the legal parts of the meeting time requirements..so READ very carefully before you book at all..I would recommend another company besides City Wonders in Rome..that was a waste of $200..down the drain..they did apologize though..lol..I bet since they got their money up front..will never use them again for anything and highly advise others not to as well!!! 😡😡😤😤🤬🤬
