What makes Rome: Small Group Tour Colosseum Experience a unique experience ?
We will meet all travellers at the Arch of Constantine where we will begin the tour.
Save hours standing in line as you step straight inside the Colosseum. Your expert, licensed guide will transport you back in time to the heyday of the Roman Empire, blending fascinating facts, gripping anecdotes and masterful storytelling.
Discover what it was really like to watch gladiator fights and beast hunts. Learn how the Colosseum was built, how long it took, and how state-of-the-art engineering and technology made the games possible. Over the course of an hour, you’ll fully explore the first and second levels of the Colosseum—with plenty of stops to take all the photos you want!
Our last stop is the Roman Forum, the beating heart of the ancient city. Discover what life was like for everyday Romans as you explore the social, religious, and political hub of the Roman Empire. Marvel at the remains of 2,000-year-old temples, triumphal arches, sprawling basilicas and much much more as you tread the same stones as Caesar and Cicero once did.
Once the tour is finished you will be able to go inside the forum and visit it at your own pace.
Follow in the footsteps of the Caesars as you walk the Via Sacra (Sacred Way). This was the route victorious generals and their legions took into the Roman Forum, parading their spoils and captives to the cheers and jeers of the crowd. But before making your way into the Forum, you’ll be climbing the hill where Rome’s history began…
According to the legend, the Palatine Hill is where Romulus founded the Eternal City after killing his twin Remus in a fit of rage. It’s also the hill on which the rich and famous of the Roman Republic lives, and on which the emperors built their monumental and luxurious palaces.
Let our guides share with you the secrets of this spectacular archeological site where the ruins, the towering pine trees and the spectacular views over the Circus Maximus and the Roman Forum make for a once in a lifetime experience!
