As you stand where history’s fiercest warriors once fought, your guide will vividly bring to life the importance, significance, fascinating truth about the games.

With the Colosseum behind you, you’ll venture further into the past as you explore the Roman Forum, the bustling hub of ancient Rome’s social, political, and commercial life. Marvel at the well-preserved ruins and imagine the grandeur of Rome in its heyday, with temples, basilicas, and public spaces that date back to the 7th century BC.
