What to expect

Explore the Colosseum and its surroundings on a guided evening tour through the heart of Ancient Rome. This experience includes views over the Roman Forum from above, as well as several of the city’s most important historical sites.

The tour begins at Trajan’s Column, continuing along Via dei Fori Imperiali with panoramic views of the Roman Forum, once the civic and commercial center of the empire. As you walk, your professional English speaking guide will share stories about Rome’s political religious and social life, pointing out temples arches and key landmarks that shaped the ancient city.

Passing by the Forums of Caesar and Augustus, you will make your way toward the highlight of the tour, the Colosseum. Enter the amphitheater in the evening, when it is quieter and more atmospheric, and discover the history of the monument and the people who once filled its stands.

When standing right in front and facing the Victor Emmanuel II Monument (a.k.a. the “Wedding Cake), it’s directly to the left across the street.
