Colosseo
Your journey into antiquity begins with the Colosseum, one of the world’s most iconic sights. Your guide will call on their historical and archaeological expertise to tell you all about the battles, both physical and political, that played out in this incredible amphitheater. You might be surprised to learn that ‘Gladiator’ didn’t get everything right and that feats of ancient engineering even allowed the Romans to re-enact naval battles here.
Palatine Hill
The next stop takes you back to the very beginning. The Palatine Hill is the spot Romulus chose to found the city that would become Rome in 753 BC – a decision that ended in tragedy for his brother Remus. Here, steeped in history, you’ll enjoy spectacular views overlooking your next destination: the Roman Forum.

Before we booked this tour, we had several questions on how physical this tour was. Masoud was amazing. He answered all questions in a timely manner. Our guide, Alessandra is very energetic, enthusiastic, and very knowledgeable about Roman History. She showed us photos of the different emperors of Rome and called on some of us to play the roles of them while she told the stories of what they were like. That was really fun to watch. She also showed us photos of what the Colosseum would have actually looked like back then which, I appreciated. She also shared what life would have been like during that time period, which I am always interested in.

Great way to experience key sites in Rome. The guide was very knowledgeable and brought Romes sites to life. I did think it was very overpriced for what it was. Museusms in Rome/Italy are free on the first Sunday of the month but the price of entry was not reduced so the cost was the same with or without the entry ticket for our trip.
