Colosseum

The Colosseum in Rome had over 80 entrances and could accommodate around 50,000 spectators. Learn the history behind this magnificent monument and all that surrounds it. Rome's most popular structure was built for three reasons... As a gift to the Roman Citizens from the Flavian Dynasty to increase their popularity, to stage various forms of entertainment, and of course to showcase Roman engineering techniques to the world. Festivals, as well as games, could last up to 100 days in the Colosseum.

Admission Included

Roman Forum

The Roman Forum was the social, political, religious and financial center of the Roman Empire and the most incredible site of Ancient Roman civilization with various structures still standing. All layers of Roman society rubbed shoulders together daily whether, for personal, business or political purposes, anyone from homeless beggars to rich senators could be found there.

Admission Included

Palatine Hill

The Palatine Hill is the foundation point of Rome and still holds today, many layers of history. You can find ruins from the early kingdom of Rome in 7th century BCE and the Roman Republic in the later centuries BCE to the jaw-dropping palace of Emperor Domitian in the Imperial Age. Further, you can see the more recent presence of the Farnese family during the Renaissance and that of Mussolini in the 20th century.

Nick was a great tour guide and having a "Roman" take our family on a tour was just fantastic. The app was so easy to use we also used it on other tours in other cities.

Brilliant tour, very informative and interesting our tour guide was wonderful! Well sign posted and east to find.

Naomi_L

The tour itself had the potential to be really good, and I saw others on the same tour with a different guide which looked much better. However, our tour guide didnt really seem to have much knowledge about any of it. I dont really think she gave us any facts about either the roman forman or the colosseum. She was not engaging at all. The ear pieces also cut out at times and the group size was 50 - so a large group to walking around in. Overall, it was a disappointing experience. I overheard other tour groups and guides from the same company and they had put a lot more effort into researching and telling the stories and history of the location.

Heidi_W

This was one of the best experiences we had in Rome. The tour was all encompassing of the Colosseum, Palatine Hill, and the Forum. Overlooking the Forum from the top of the hill was probably one of the most visually stunning views I have seen in my lifetime. The wow factor is beyond. You cannot go to Rome and not see this. the headphones were a little spotty but i even still learned so much more than I ever expected.
