Full description

Explore Rome's iconic sights on a unique tour to the Colosseum and its arena floor, the Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill on a walking tour. Discover unseen facets of these famous Italian landmarks and learn about their rich history from your local guide.

Enjoy a guided visit of the Roman Forum. Find the remains of public buildings, temples, the sacred dwelling of the Vestal Virgins, and more in the Forum - the political, social, and religious core of the city. Learn stories of the political dramas that played out and the lives of people who lived 2,000+ years ago.

Wander through the Palatine Hill, where Romulus chose to found his new city that became home to the rich and powerful during the Republic.

Go back in time with the iconic Colosseum. Access the arena floor through the gladiators’ gate and imagine their experience stepping out under the gaze of thousands of noisy spectators. From the arena, look down into the dungeons where the gladiators prepared themselves beforehand and where wild animals were kept.

The tour was excellent and very well organised with meeting point etc. It was extremely crowded and we did lose sight of her at times but could always hear the commentary through the earpiece. Maria was extremely knowledgeable and has a genuine passion for her subject. It would have been 5 stars but I felt some bits were a bit rushed. This was probably due to the crowds. Definitely worth the money.

Our guide Lauren was amazing! So helpful and lots of interesting facts. The area itself is well worth a visit, really amazing. Only negative was that our tour group was way over 25 (the max they said), more like 40 people, so it took us a really long time to get through security lines / make our way between stops.
