Foro Romano

Just west of the Colosseum is the Roman Forum, which for many centuries was the place where the future of the ancient western civilization was decided. We will also provide you with access to the Roman Forum and you will still be under the careful attention of our expert guide. Although today the Roman Forum stands in ruins, for many reigns it was at the very center of Rome’s activities. It started as a marketplace for daily shopping, but as the power of the Empire grew, it became much more important. In this part of the tour, you will explore the remnants of ancient grandiose temples, bustling marketplaces, and imposing civic buildings. We will also show you the place where Rome first began—on Palatine Hill. Rome’s ancient existence has earned it the name “the Eternal City,” and its time as the ruling city of the lands bordering the Mediterranean Sea has earned it the designation “Capital of the World.”

    The colosseum itself was interesting, however, our tour was moved from 9 to 8. We were told to show up 30 minutes early and our guide, Barbara, showed up at 815. She talked so fast and didn’t stop for the full 3 hours. It felt like a college lecture rather than an interesting and entertaining tour. We lost interest by the time we made it to the Roman Fourm and had to take out the head set. The whole thing could have been done in half the time.

    When it’s a hot day the tour spends a lot of the day in sunny areas. We were exhausted after the tour.
