Description

Discover the wonders of Ancient Rome on a guided tour that brings history to life at the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill. Begin your journey at the iconic Colosseum, where you’ll enter through the Gladiator’s Arch and step onto the exclusive Arena Floor, imagining the roar of ancient crowds.

Your expert guide will share fascinating stories as you explore the Colosseum’s first and second levels, revealing secrets of gladiatorial battles and imperial spectacles. Audio headsets are provided for clear commentary throughout, ensuring you won’t miss a detail of this legendary monument.

Next, stroll through the Roman Forum, once the bustling heart of Roman politics and society. Walk among the ruins where senators debated and emperors shaped the fate of an empire, and see landmarks like the Temple of Julius Caesar and the Arch of Titus up close.

The adventure continues on Palatine Hill, the birthplace of Rome and home to the city’s most powerful families. Enjoy panoramic views over the Forum and Circus Maximus as your guide brings the ruins of imperial palaces to life with vivid storytelling.

The tour lasts about 2.5 hours and is available in several languages, with a small group size for a more personalized experience. Meet your guide in front of the Basilica dei Santi Cosma e Damiano, and don’t forget to bring valid ID for entry. Book now to secure your spot and experience Rome’s ancient glory firsthand!
