Discover the most iconic monuments of Ancient Rome on this guided tour of the Colosseum, the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill.
Walk in the footsteps of giants on this guided tour through the heart of the Roman Empire. Travel back in time as you visit these icons of Roman architecture.
Immerse yourself in Rome's long history as your knowledgeable guide shares stories from the minute to the magnificent. Behold the genius that brought the Colosseum from concept to reality in 70/80 AD, centuries before modern engineering. This was once the most famous meeting place in the world, with 50,000 to 80,000 spectators. Inside, breathe in the Colosseum's bloody past brought to life again by your guide.
Leaving the Colosseum, you will see the magnificent Arch of Constantine before arriving at the excavated ruins of the Roman Forum archaeological site, where many structures remain intact to this day. At Colle Palatino, you will learn about the legend of Romulus and Remus. One legend suggests that this is how Rome was named after Romulus.
The tour ends at the Coliseum. Explore the area further or make your own way back to your accommodation.
