Colosseum

In 1990, the Colosseum, along with all the historical centre of Rome, the Vatican extraterritorial zones in Italy and the Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls, was listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, while in July 2007 was included among the New seven Wonders of the World.

Foro Romano

Roman Forum, Latin Forum Romanum, the most important forum in ancient Rome, is situated on low ground between the Palatine and Capitoline hills. The Roman Forum was the scene of public meetings, law courts, and gladiatorial combats in republican times and was lined with shops and open-air markets. Under the empire, when it primarily became a centre for religious and secular spectacles and ceremonies, it was the site of many of the city’s most imposing temples and monuments. Among the structures surviving in whole or in part are the Temple of Castor and Pollux, the Temple of the Deified Caesar, the Mamertine Prison, the Curia (senate house), the Temple of Saturn, the Temple of Vesta, the Temple of Romulus, the Arch of Titus, the Arch of Septimius Severus, and the Cloaca Maxima.

    Sound system was poor and tour guide walked too fast. You could do this on your own. Also, there were many artifacts and cases not pointed out.

  • Would absolutely do...

    Would absolutely do again! So soooo nice to be able to skip the line and do the audio guide. Daniele was also super responsive and helpful when my partner and I accidentally went to the wrong location.

    Eva was our tour guide and found her very well researched and informative, she was also very considerate and patient with the group and their needs including but not limited to considerate of shade and the need for water and bathroom breaks, and i personally found her engaging, articulate and very friendly to everyone, the tour itself was well organised and well prepared ensuring everyone in the group was accounted for especially in the throng of other groups! Thanks so much Eva!

  • The worst tour

    This was the worst tour I have ever been on… our guide was truly terrible. I have experienced tours at the colosseum 4 times and this one sadly was so disappointing. I was joined by three people who were going to the colosseum for the first time and they were excited to be enlightened by the history of the colosseum. In the contrary they learned nothing, did not enjoy the experience and also were unimpressed with the entire landmark because of the lack of explanation received during the tour.

  • Great tour

    Thanks to our outstanding tour guide. From start to finish, the tour was a seamless blend of historical insight, captivating storytelling. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Rome.
