Overview

Rome is filled with Ancient ruins and the remnants of the past. This tour is the perfect way to visit the three most important sites and learn about the times in which they were built and used. The Colosseum is probably one of the most recognized monuments and is included on the New 7Wonders of the World list. Innumerable Roman citizens walked through the arches and corridors of the famous amphitheater, and now you will do the same, as a captivating guide reveals all the secrets of the landmark’s past. Next to the Colosseum are the Forum and Palatine Hill. Here you will discover the religious, social, and political center of the Ancient city, still filled with the remains of temples, homes, palaces, and even the abode of the Vestal Virgins. With your guide to navigate you through the tumultuous history of these areas, this will be an experience you won’t forget.

Meeting points

Meet at the entrance gate of 'Colle Oppio Park', in front of the Oppio Caffè Bar. From the 'Colosseo metro station' reach the terrace above the station. Walk on 'Via Nicola Salvi' about 100m. Look for our coordinator holding a White Flag at the entrance gate of 'Colle Oppio Park'.

End point

This activity ends back at the meeting point.

Itinerary

  • Colosseum

    One of the most iconic sites of Rome, the Colosseum is a must-see on any trip to the Eternal City. Beat the notoriously long queues outside as your guide whisks you inside the magnificent structure. Enjoy the views from the different tiers of the Colosseum as your guide entertains you with stories of gladiator fights and spectacles.

    45 minutes

  • Foro Romano

    Your tour continues at the Roman Forum, home to the many ruins that once formed the centre of activity in Ancient Rome. Wander the streets once walked by Emperors as you marvel at the incredible preservation of temples, villas, and arches. Let your imagination roam and immerse yourself in the everyday life of Ancient Romans.

    1 hour

  • Arco di Tito (Pass By)

    Marvel up-close at the tremendous Arch of Titus, erected on the main street of the Roman Forum in the first century AD. Learn about Emperor Domitian’s construction of the triumphal arch to commemorate the victories of his father and brother, Titus. Admire its spectacular design and sheer scale as you witness the architectural prowess of the ancient world.

  • Palatine Hill

    Complete your Ancient Rome experience as you climb the Palatine Hill. One of the seven famous hills of Rome, the Palatine is particularly revered for its mythical importance as the origin of the city. Now, visitors can enjoy the spectacular sweeping views from the hill, including Piazza Venezia, Circus Maximus, and of course the Colosseum.

Such a cool experience of the Roman Forum and Colosseum. Our guide was informative and organized, we had a wonderful experience.

Awe Struck Amazing - Finally seeing the Colosseum in person. Thrilling and informative.

Published on Sep, 2024

All of this tour was so very memorable. We were taken aback with the Colosseum, size and history and finally being here at this iconic site. The Roman Forum and Palatine Hill were equally impressive. Wow... Our tour guide was a bit heavy on a Italian accent (understandably), and talked fast, but after a while she was easier to understand. It actually made us really concentrate, on what was being said, which made the tour excellent. We loved how she always said, "image this", as she was trying to get us all to understand what it would of been like all those years ago, visiting the gladiator fights, or walking in the streets or markets of the Roman Forum. The tour was well organized and we all were given sufficient time to absorb our surroundings and ask questions. Amazing
