Exploring the Colosseum, the Forum and the Palatine Hill, you’ll tread the very ground where mighty emperors, fearsome gladiators and great orators made their mark on the ancient world and wrote themselves into history. With the help of our expert guide you'll be able to make sense of what you see, in the spaces that were once the political and religious heart of Rome.

At the heart of our tour is the spectacular Colosseum, wonder of architecture and a miracle of engineering even today. The deadly spectacles of life and death that took place there were wildly popular, and to understand why we’ll have to get into the minds of the ancient Romans themselves. Recreating a day at the games, we’ll practically hear the distant roars of the beasts in the arena and the screams of enraptured crowds.
