What To Expect

Colosseum

Begin your journey through ancient history at the most famous landmark in the world. Using expertise in history and archaeology, learn about the facets of strife- physical and political- that took place within this great amphitheater. It may interest you to know that the movie 'Gladiator' is not accurate in every detail and also appreciate the architectural feat of ancient engineering through which Romans were able to stage naval battles inside this venue.

Palatine Hill (Palatino)

The next place takes you to where the city started. It is on the Palatine Hill that Romulus picked to build what would later become known as Rome in 753 BC—a decision that led to his brother Remus’s sad end. Filled with history, you’ll get stunning views looking over your next stop: the Roman Forum.

1 hour - Entrance ticket included

Roman Forum (Foro Romano)

Forum. Via Sacra. The Sacred Way, stood as the true center of ancient Rome. This lively market brought together every part of Roman life: business and deals, talks about politics, army marches, and holy acts by the Vestal Virgins. For three hours, you will totally get involved with the factors that had contributed to Rome’s long-lasting legacy while staying connected with its great past. All this- without any queue.
