What To Expect

Colosseum

Begin your journey at the most iconic monument in Rome with a tour that was designed to be fun and easy for people of any age. Learn about the history of the amphitheater from an official tour guide who is very knowledgeable about art and archaeology. See the great shows and strong fights that happened inside. Learn about the building ways made by Romans, the amazing skills of the fighters, the harsh battles with strange beasts, and the high-level tools used by Roman builders when making the Colosseum. Walk through the first levels to see the arena and learn about the trapdoors and other things used to make the games so exciting. Your guide will share interesting stories about ship fights, places where lions stayed before the games started, rooms where fighters waited for their turn in the arena, the killings, and the thrill felt by people watching some of the most amazing, special, and expensive games ever in human history.

After seeing the Colosseum, you will go to Palatine Hill and look at the ruins of a old town from the 9th century BC. See the early habitations of Rome by the Hippodrome, an elliptical depressed garden from the palace of Domitian. From here there is a great view toward the Circus Maximus and the valley of the Forum. Learn about Romulus and Remus- abandoned twins who were raised by a she-wolf, then fought for control and power when they became men.

Roman Forum (Foro Romano)

Rom the Forum is your last stop, but the best stops. It’s one of the top archaeological sites anywhere in the world and hosts some fantastic Ancient Rome ruins. There’s the Temple of Julius Caesar, the Arch of Titus, the House of Vestal Virgins, and Senate House plus Basilica of Maxentius. That culminates in the procession along the Sacred Way here in the Roman Forum-tha’s Caesar Centurions’ who had paraded along there following each of their battles and victories.
