Itinerary

Join the guided group tour which starts at Arch of Constantine, the biggest and one of the best-preserved triumphal arches in Rome. From here on you’ll skip the line to the Colosseum, the first stop in the adventure of exploring Ancient Rome. Colosseum is one of the world’s most iconic landmarks, here listen to the cruel and gruelling events that took place such as the battles of the Gladiators and their hard life’s. Learn and join as all of this will be brought back to life by the guide.

No visit to Ancient Rome is complete if you don’t visit Palatine Hill, where it all began. You’ll learn about the legend of the twin brothers Remus and Roman and see where the battle between the brothers took place and how Romulus founded the city of Rome. This historical site also consists of incredible frescoes in the House of Augustus and Hippodrome, an elliptical sunken garden from the Palace of Domitian which will be explained by the guide. Here, enjoy an impressive view of the Circus Maximus and the valley of the Roman Forum before continuing the tour to visit the Roman Forum.

We have also given you the chance to explore the Roman Forum with our incredibly expert guides. The Roman Forum is known for the heart of Ancient Rome. The guide will lead you through the bustling marketplace, once ruled by the moneylenders and shopkeepers and show you the most evocative ruins, including the Temple of Julius Caesar, Arch of Titus, House of the Vestal Virgins, Senate House and Basilica of Maxentius. Here, you can also admire and listen to the story of the triumphal road, also known as the sacred Way of the Roman Forum.

In just two and a half hours you’ll be introduced to Ancient Rome, and be taught about what it had to offer. So, you can now tick off one of your Eternal City bucket list monuments.
