Itinerary

    1 hours 30 minsAdmission Ticket Included
    Your journey into antiquity begins with the Colosseum, one of the world’s most iconic sights. Your guide will call on their historical and archaeological expertise to tell you all about the battles, both physical and political, that played out in this incredible amphitheater. You might be surprised to learn that ‘Gladiator’ didn’t get everything right and that feats of ancient engineering even allowed the Romans to re-enact naval battles here.
  • Palatine Hill

    1 hoursAdmission Ticket Included
    The next stop takes you back to the very beginning. The Palatine Hill is the spot Romulus chose to found the city that would become Rome in 753 BC – a decision that ended in tragedy for his brother Remus. Here, steeped in history, you’ll enjoy spectacular views overlooking your next destination: the Roman Forum.
  • Roman Forum

    30 minsAdmission Ticket Included
    The Forum and the Via Sacra, the Sacred Way, were the heart of Ancient Rome.
