Description

Walk in the footsteps of Roman emperors and citizens on a 2.5-hour tour of Ancient Rome, visiting the Roman Forum, Palatine Hill, and Colosseum.

Your guided tour begins at Piazza Venezia with an introduction to the Campidoglio, the seat of the Mayor. Enter the Roman Forum with your expert guide and enjoy panoramic views of this remarkable site.

Stroll along the Via Sacra, the Sacred Road once alive with festivals and triumphal processions. Visit the Temple housing the altar where Julius Caesar was cremated, where visitors still leave flowers and candles today.

Before reaching the Colosseum, admire the Palatine Hill, where legend says Romulus founded Rome. Overlooking the Forum and the Circus Maximus, it offers stunning views of the city’s origins.

Inside the Colosseum, your guide will bring to life its dramatic history, sharing tales of gladiators, sea battles, and the spectacles that once thrilled ancient crowds.

This small-group tour, available with a live guide in English or Spanish, is limited to a maximum of 18 people for a more personal experience.
