Rome is filled with Ancient ruins and the remnants of the past. This tour is the perfect way to visit the three most important sites and learn about the times in which they were built and used.

The Colosseum is probably one of the most recognized monuments and is included on the New 7Wonders of the World list. Innumerable Roman citizens walked through the arches and corridors of the famous amphitheater, and now you will do the same, as a captivating guide reveals all the secrets of the landmark’s past.

Next to the Colosseum are the Forum and Palatine Hill. Here you will discover the religious, social, and political center of the Ancient city, still filled with the remains of temples, homes, palaces, and even the abode of the Vestal Virgins. With your guide to navigate you through the tumultuous history of these areas, this will be an experience you won’t forget.

    This was a great tour. Make sure you do not lose your ticket in the hussle of the colosseum because you will need it many times throughout the tour. Take a picture of the barcode just in case

    Sandro explained in a very clear and knowledgeable way about the history of the Coliseum in Rome, with a very kind attitude answered all our questions. Perfect Spanish. Highly recommended. Thank you very much. Eduardo and Martha

  • Time of guided tour changed 3 times - poor customer service on viator

    The booking and customer service was awful. They changed the time of my guided tour 3 times. I was originally supposed to attend the 9:30 am tour, but in the end was pushed back to 3:00 pm. They communicated these changes through the viator chat function, but require your confirmation and are so slow to reply that by the time they do the alternative times they proposed are no longer available. I consistently replied within 1-2 hours of their messages, and they took more than 24 hours. If you are in the same situation, I recommend calling right away because that was the only way I was able to reserve my spot on the tour. Only book if you have the time to monitor your notifications for any messages and have a flexible schedule, knowing that your selected time at booking will likely be changed. The guided tour itself was good, but I would not book with this company again.

    So much fun. Our tour guide was so funny. She was a bit all over the place, but everyone in the group seemed to find her entertaining.
