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.

The guide was amazing, very kind and informative. We avoided the sun and stopped regularly for breaks. The only downside was the company changed the time the day before so we had to reschedule things and the tour was at the hottest time of day. If we knew from the beginning the tour would be in the afternoon we wouldn't of booked it.

Carolina was amazing, really knows everything about the story, she is kind and we personally liked how she talked about the history of the coliseum from a humanist point of view. Later on it heavily rained and she was also willing to continue even though it was raining. Gracias Carolina! Also, it is a must to pay for a tour guide and skip the line in these chaotic tourist places.

Our tour guide (53) was exceptional. She was funny, knowledgeable and involved the whole group during our tour. It was a super hot day, she made sure we could refil water bottles and kept the younger group members entertained. This tour was brilliant we got to see everything and learn the history behind it Highly recommended
