      Full description

      Avoid the long lines outside of some of Rome’s most popular ancient attractions with skip-the-line entry to the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill. Follow your guide who will explain the history of Rome and introduce you to some of the most notorious emperors.

      Visit one of the most famous monuments in the world, the Colosseum, the immense amphitheater that was the largest ever built by the Roman Empire. Imagine the gladiatorial fights and public spectacles that took place in the arena.

      Go to Palatine Hill, site of the foundation of Rome and settlement of the most important houses of emperors and kings. Located just feet from the Roman Forum and Circus Maximus, it is the centermost of the 7 hills of Rome.

      Hear about the legends and history of Eternal Rome and stop on the Via Sacra to learn how everyday Roman citizens used to live. Enter the Temple of the emperor Julius Caesar, and explore the ruins of the Roman Forum, the center of all Roman government and public life.

      Excellent tour!! Really enjoyed getting to hear the history while touring the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill. It was a great way to get an idea of what it was like back during the Roman times which made the whole experience more meaningful and special. Our guide was incredible and obviously knew her history. Would highly recommend this tour!

      Unexpected good experience while visiting Colosseum. Many interesting things can be heard from the guide and our guide Mirko was great. Palatine Hill was a bit disappointing, but the view from the hill is breathtaking, and the Roman Forum up close is phenomenal.
