Bring Ancient Rome to life on our Colosseum Tour with an expert, English-speaking tour guide! Enter the Colosseum, the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill and stroll through the mighty columns where emperors, gladiators, and senators walked.
Enter the Epic Colosseum
Our journey begins at the iconic Colosseum. One of the world’s most recognizable sights, the Colosseum has for centuries been a must-see monument for those who visit the bucket list for most who arrive in the Eternal City. As the central arena for the emperor’s wishes and the thrill-seeking public, this huge arena is vital to understanding Ancient Rome. You’ll be accompanied on your tour by experts in history and archaeology. Without them, it would be difficult to grasp the true meaning of the Colosseum. While we all love the movie “Gladiator,” there’s so much more our expert guides unveil about the Colosseum's rich history and significance.
Discover where Rome was Founded – Palatine Hill
Legends and myths surround the birth of Rome which is why your tour must include Palatine Hill. This calm and lofty viewpoint above the lowlands is said to be the spot where Romulus and Remus once clashed over a boundary dispute. The outcome of this argument set events in motion that would have consequences for centuries to come – and which eventually led to the birth of an empire that conquered much of the world as we knew it.
Explore where Democracy was Developed – The Roman Forum
You’ll also wander through the countless columns and temples which still stand in the Roman Forum. Busy markets, commercial activities, and political intrigue once filled this great area. Out of this exciting crucible came characters with names like Seneca, Cicero, Mark Anthony, Brutus, and Caesar. Your guide will show you where in the Roman Forum these important figures spent most of their time, and where they ended up! You won’t believe it.
Maximize Your Colosseum Experience
Over the course of three hours, you will be immersed in the historic decadence of three of Ancient Rome’s most heralded monuments. You will leave our tour not just having seen the impressive monuments, but also having received an authentic glimpse into Ancient Rome’s past.
