Listen to your guide share insights into the history and significance of the Colosseum, bringing its past to life with vivid storytelling. Conclude your exploration with a stroll through the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill. Walk among the ruins of temples, basilicas, and government buildings, tracing the footsteps of emperors. From the Arch of Titus to the remains of the Temple of Saturn, each site tells a story of power and politics.
