Join a 3-hour small-group tour to explore the Colosseum, Palatine Hill, and Roman Forum. This tour includes speedy access and a licensed guide, allowing for an informative experience with a limited group size. The tour begins inside the Colosseum, where you will learn about gladiators and emperors while enjoying views from the arena floor. Following this, the group will visit Palatine Hill, known as the birthplace of Rome, before proceeding to the Roman Forum, which was central to Roman social life. This tour is suitable for those interested in history and architecture. It is designed for comfort, providing time for questions and engagement with the guide. Be aware that group size is limited.
Your expert guide will transport you back to the height of the Roman Empire when the Colosseum was constructed. During this time, Rome was ruled by emperors, the city was filled with riches from across the world, and the Colosseum served as a central venue for games and events featuring animals and people captured from Rome’s territories. Please note: the tour may start at the Colosseum or the Roman Forum/Palatine Hill, depending on ticket availability.
Next, you’ll climb Palatine Hill, the legendary site where Rome was founded. The hill is an important archaeological site, with settlements from the Iron Age through the Imperial period. See landmarks such as the Hut of Romulus, Rome’s legendary founder, and the Imperial Palace, where emperors and their families lived and conducted political and administrative affairs.
The final stop is the Roman Forum, the heart of ancient Rome. This area was once a bustling center of markets, law courts, temples, and civic life. It was here that Julius Caesar was cremated, two emperors were killed in 69 AD, and Cicero delivered speeches that influenced Western culture for centuries.
