The Colosseum tickets give access to the Roman Forum within 24 hours; please ask the guide. After this Ancient Rome tour, you will fully understand Ancient Roman life.
Not included in the MINI WOW Tour. A true masterpiece to admire on your tour of Rome: The Pantheon. Immaculately preserved and seemingly only a few centuries old, it's hard to believe the structure was completed in AD 128 by Emperor Hadrian. In the square in front - a gathering place for locals – discover a decorative 16th-century fountain sitting beneath the Egyptian obelisk. Kindly note that the line may be too long due to the metal detector, and the visit is from outside.
