Full description
Skip the long lines to some of the most important monuments of Ancient Rome on a 3-hour guided tour of the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill. Meet your guide outside the Colosseum to enter the most important arena of the Roman Republic. Your live guide will make you feel like an authentic Roman emperor as they bring the monument to life. Learn about the gladiatorial contests and public spectacles, such as mock sea battles, animal hunts, executions, and re-enactments of famous battles. Then, walk around the city of Rome as it was many centuries ago. See the ruined temples and markets of the Roman Forum, and learn how this was the center of all political and social life in the days of the Roman Empire. Continue to Palatine Hill, the centermost of the Seven Hills of Rome. See the ruins of the Domus Augustana and get a panoramic view of the Circus Maximus. According to Roman mythology, Palatine Hill was the location of the cave where the founder of Rome, Romulus, and his brother Remus were found by the she-wolf Lupa.

I've done multiple tours in Rome (and elsewhere). This was an excellent tour. Federica, our guide, was a local with incredible knowledge to answer our copious amounts of questions. Her impressive knowledge was matched with her enthusiasm for her job and for Roman history. Highly recommended and worth every penny.

Tour was good. Stephanie was a very informative guide. I only had 1 issue and that is the check in. It is difficult to fond your guide. Get your guide is not your tour group. So don’t look for their sign. Check your email for your guides group name. Tour was excellent most of our time was on Palatine Hill.

Noi con figli di 11 e 3 (+ passeggino ). Scommessa vinta visto che la prima parte al colosseo è in continuo movimento mentre la parte esterna al palatino col passeggino era troppo complicata ma ho potuto restare in zona arco di Tito comodi e all’ombra. La guida Ilaria favolosa, carica, sempre disponibile, coinvolgente e preparata. Consigliatissimo.
