Rosaria took good care of the group throughout the tour of the Colosseo and the Fori Romano e Palatino. The passion and the details provided about the history and local cultures were a plus that we really enjoyed! Andrea

Full description

This incredible tour goes to the very heart of ancient Rome and allows you to explore the Empire’s most iconic monuments.

With your group, an experienced tour guide will take you back to the time of gladiator fights at the Colosseum. Your guide will also reveal the secrets of the Roman Forum, which was the political and economic center of the city and, therefore, of the entire empire.

No tour of this area would be complete without exploring the Palatine Hill. This was the Beverly Hills of ancient Rome, where emperors and nobles resided, high above the riff-raff below. The tour duration is 2 and a half hours in total.
