Description

Explore the monumental amphitheater in the heart of Rome, which stands as a testament to the greatness of ancient Roman engineering. Your guide will tell you about the spectacular gladiator combats, sea battles, wild animal hunts, and other events which could last up to 100 days! Through their stories, you'll get a glimpse into the Roman Empire's displays of power and entertainment.

During this tour, you will also visit the Palatine Hill and the Roman Forum (most people’s favorite part of the tour), an open-air museum of Rome's ancient political, commercial, and religious center. The Palatine Hill and Roman Forum offer an unparalleled journey through time, where the founding legends of Rome lived and left their mark in history.

Despite centuries of natural disasters and looting, the Colosseum and Roman Forum remain iconic symbols of Rome's eternal attraction, hosting millions of visitors every year.
