    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.

    The perfect tour for history lovers

    The whole tour was accompanied by Laura, who was really great. I especially admired her English until I almost said she was not Italian. :-) Although it was hot like hell, I enjoyed it a lot, because we learned a lot of interesting facts. Do not be afraid to ask anything at all, Laura is very informed and if possible she will answer. I almost forgot if you go on a tour in July like us, I recommend that you paint properly and not forget glasses and hat. You can't always hide in the shade. Drinking water is free in many places, so don't worry about being frightened. :-) Bottom line, if the tour lasted an hour longer, I would not be angry at all.

    Good 3 hr tour

    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.
