Description

Explore the highlights of the Colosseum, Forum, and Palatine Hill on a guided tour.
Meet your guide and admire the imposing facade of the Colosseum, learning how it used to look when it was built.
Learn how the spectators were divided on the tiers based on their social class, and which different games were organized for their entertainment.

Follow in the footsteps of gladiators and see the monument in a 360° panoramic vantage point. Imagine what it was like to see 50,000 blood-thirsty spectators with the help of your guide.
After the Colosseum tour, proceed and visit the Forum and walk around several important ancient Rome government buildings. Admire the ruins that used to be once a bustling marketplace or a temple, learn more about the ancient Roman culture, and picture how they lived.
Go up Palatine Hill, one of the seven hills of Rome. Experience the most ancient place in the city, situated 40 meters above the Roman Forum. Marvel at the view of the Circus Maximus.
