Make the most of your Rome adventure
What makes Colosseum, Palatine Hill and Roman Forum Small-Group Guided Tour a unique experience ?
You will retrace the steps of the Gladiators, accompanied by exciting stories, told by your local, expert guide. Uncover the history of the events that unfolded inside the great walls of the world-famous Colosseum. Bring the ancient monument to life, and gain all the insights into the life of the Roman people that once filled the arena.
The Palatine Hill is the most beautiful and important of Rome’s great seven hills, and is a must-see on any tour of the city. Here, with the aid of your guide, you can discover the birthplace of one of the greatest civilisations in history, and explore the ancient ruins of the Imperial Palace, surrounded by towering pine trees and spectacular views of the Circus Maximus and the Roman Forum below.
It is vital to visit the political, social, and commercial heart of downtown Rome to truly understand the spirit of life in Roman times. Here you will walk original Roman roads, the Via Sacra and the Via Nova, which weave amongst ornate arches, towering temples, and the spirits of the myth-shrouded Romulus and the world-famous Julius Caesar. Although less than half of the forum is complete today, your guides will fill in all the empty spaces with their extensive knowledge and passion, which will restore the city to its former glory.
