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.


Duration: 30 minutes

We had Maria Louis as our tour guide. She brought so much insight and passion to the tour. We learned so much. She took her time explaining everything and was very thorough. Very good experience

Our guide was delightful and told stories of the ages. Reccommend this tour. Unfortunately we got separated at the Colosseum stairs, so we exited and called the company who informed us to return the radio badges to where we started out. Otherwise, this was a really good tour.

Excellent guided tour with historic explanation. Highly informative and entertaining. Long wait to get creating overcrowding was disappointing but not the fault of our tour operator.

We had Eddy for a guide and it was three hours of wild whacky extremely knowledgeable guidance through the colosseum and Roman forum. He made the excursion fun and informative.

Hard to understand guide. She walked too quickly didn’t give enough time for photos she didn’t carry a flag hard to find her at times. Spent too long on trivial matters and wasted our time when repeating info when other guests were not listening the first time. The meeting place for the start of the tour was very difficult to find. Clearer instructions should be provided several guests had the same issue the only positive was skip the line entry
