Access to all the monuments of the tour
Tips (optional)
The initial roadside walk to get to Palatine Hill and Roman Forum was a little difficult to hear the guide due to the traffic.
Explore not only the Colosseum but all the major sites of Ancient Rome on this small-group tour that will provide context, history and fascinating anecdotes to bring the ruins to life. The tour will start at the Colosseum and diving right into its bloody history. As you wander the first and second tiers, your expert guide will help separate fact from fiction that is often fed to tourists.
Then, youâll head to the Roman Forum to learn about the commercial and political heart of the empire. Along the way, youâll pass the titanic arch of Constantine, the final resting place of Julius Caesar, and the Temple of the Vestal Virgins. Finally, youâll ascend the Palatine Hill and learn about the legend of Romulus and Remus, the mythological twin founders of Rome who were raised by a she-wolf. Explore ancient palaces and learn how the word 'palace' actually originated right here, in the home of Caesarâs heir - the first emperor of Ancient Rome, Emperor Augustus. As you hear tales of the characters that played such a crucial role in shaping history, youâll come to understand the importance of this once-great empire like never before. In a small group of no more than 16 people, youâll have incredible access to an expert guide (at 8.15 am and 11.15 am only, you can join an intimate tour with max 8 guests). There's no better way to immerse yourself in the legends and facts of Ancient Rome.
