Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Colosseum, Piazza del Colosseo, 00184 Rome Italy

Breeze past the crowds and enter the Colosseum promptly with your guide. As you enter this ancient Roman structure, your guide will take you back in time and set the scene for what attending a gladiator match was really like. You’ll explore the first and second tiers of the Colosseum, areas that were originally reserved for only Rome’s most elite classes.

Learn how the Colosseum was built and the history of the bloody battles that define ancient Roman history. You’ll only spend an hour inside of the Colosseum, which is perfect for families or those who want to cover the most ground in little time.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Palatine Hill, Piazza Santa Maria Nova, 53, 00186 Rome Italy

Your guide will take you to the site that is said to have been where Romulus founded the city in 753 B.C. This area is comprised of opulent ancient palaces, still characterized by their detailed artifacts and mosaics. These palaces weren’t just the homes of Rome’s most elite: they were enormous treasure troves with every amenity possible inside. One of the palaces, the Palace of Domitian, even had an amphitheater inside of it! Here, you will also see a piece of an ancient Roman aqueduct.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Roman Forum, Piazza Santa Maria Nova, 53, 00186 Rome Italy

On this portion of your tour, your guide will escort you around what we like to call “ancient downtown Rome.” Ever watch a movie that takes place in ancient Rome and you see people walking around a crazy marketplace? That’s the Forum. This really is where all of the action happened. From senate meetings, to poetry performances and political protests, the Roman Forum really was the cultural hub of ancient Rome.
