What To Expect

1

Colosseum

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.

1 hour 30 minutes•Admission Included
2

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.

    Giorgio was an amazing guide. Very knowledgeable and had a way to engage with all ages in the group. He was also considerate, keeping us in the shade (it was hot!) when explaining the history and background for the location and then walking us past the historical areas. Get sunscreen and a hat!

    Our tour guide, Eddy, was amazing!! He’s very knowledgeable about the history of this place. You won’t get bored even under the scorching sun and during the long walks because he is so entertaining and funny! He also makes sure that everyone is safe at all times. It’s our first time in Rome and Eddy did not disappoint! We highly recommend this tour!
