Know More about this tour


Your journey into antiquity begins with the Colosseum, one of the world’s most iconic sights. Your guide will call on their historical and archaeological expertise to tell you all about the battles, both physical and political, that played out in this incredible amphitheater. You might be surprised to learn that ‘Gladiator’ didn’t get everything right and that feats of ancient engineering even allowed the Romans to re-enact naval battles here.
The next stop takes you back to the very beginning. The Palatine Hill is the spot Romulus chose to found the city that would become Rome in 753 BC – a decision that ended in tragedy for his brother Remus. Here, steeped in history, you’ll enjoy spectacular views overlooking your next destination: the Roman Forum.
The Forum and the Via Sacra, the Sacred Way, were the heart of Ancient Rome. All of Roman life could be found in this bustling marketplace: commerce and trade, political rallies, military parades, and the sacred ceremonies of the Vestal Virgins.In just three hours, you’ll experience all that allowed Rome to endure so long – staying immersed in history the entire time, without wasting a moment waiting in line.

    Fabio was a great tour guide and he really is passionate about the history of Rome. He takes you into the colosseum but this tour does NOT include being in the underground part of the colosseum which is not a big deal at all. The Roman forum and Palatine Hill was also great to see. The tour was great although may be a bit long for some people I would do it again!

    Our guide, Sarah, did an amazing job! She had such great knowledge of the different parts of the tour. I was injured and required the use of a walker and she did her absolute best to accommodate me, while not to make the rest of the group suffer. I really appreciate that, as I wanted others to enjoy the tour as much as I knew I would. Thank you, Sarah!!

    Simone was very informative. However, we were disappointed that there were too many in the group. We booked a small group booking and paid a high premium for this privilege only to find they combined 2 small groups into one!!

    I always try to give the benefit of the doubt, but this was just a bad experience for us. Our guide, although knowledgeable, was not interesting. Adults and kids alike were bored. It was 102 degrees, which was not her fault, but she made no attempt to find shade and we were melting in the sun. We left the tour an hour early. Very disappointed.

    Lovely tour guide, super well organised, highly recommend. We travelled with 3 kids and they were engaged and impressed.

    Our tour guide Simon did an excellent job of guiding our group through all 3 sites, on a very hot and crowded August day. He had interesting historical and humorous comments throughout, and made sure we had great photo opps and ample opportunities to fill our water bottles along the way.

    My guide Maria (MG) was very knowledgeable and showed us the essential sites and gave us time for pictures and refill/buy water with the extreme heat we faced there. Overall a wonderful experience.

  • 26-Aug-2023

    Too many people- no in our group specifically but too many groups together. Not safe. Guide talked too much and she didnt speak loudly enough,

  • 26-Aug-2023

    Very nice tour. Very friendly people and well explained. A must take tour. Saw amazing things. A lot of walking but very worthwhile.

    It was a fun experience to see the colosseum. It was absolutely brutally hot and was very very crowded. I believe our guide was also inexperienced. She talked to fast and talked too much..
