It’s crazy to think that you’re standing where ancient senators debated laws or where gladiators once fought. The whole area is so rich with stories, and the guide made sure we didn’t miss the most important ones.
Highly recommended

From the engineering marvel of the Colosseum to the political drama of the Roman Forum, this tour delivered way more than I expected. Highly recommend if you want depth without spending the whole day.

We have a wonderful small (only 4 people) group tour with Assem. He was extremely knowledgeable and brought the story of the Colosseum to life for us. He had a skip the line ticket for us and we did a tour of the Colosseum (first floor and arena area) for about an hour. And then he gave us our tickets to explore Palestine Hill and the forum on our own. It was perfect to start with the history and context and then get to go at our own speed to see the others. Really highly recommend Assem and this tour!
Fantastic
