Roman Forum
Just West of the Colosseum is the Roman Forum, which for many centuries was the place where the future of the ancient western civilization was decided. We will also provide you with skip-the-line access to the Roman Forum and you will still be under the careful attention of our expert guide. Although today the Roman Forum stands in ruins, for many reigns it was at the very center of Rome’s activities. It started as a marketplace for daily shopping, but as the power of the Empire grew, it became much more important. In this part of the tour, you will explore the remnants of ancient grandiose temples, bustling marketplaces and imposing civic buildings. We will also show you the place where Rome first began – on Palatine Hill.
Rome’s ancient existence has earned it the name “the Eternal City,” and its time as the ruling city of the lands bordering the Mediterranean Sea has earned it the designation, “Capital of the World.”

We had a great time on our tour. The tour meeting place coordinator was so kind to find us waiting for the tour. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and answered everyone's questions.

Our guide was excellent, his English was very good and he explained everything so clearly. We had and issue with Uber getting back to our hotel because I had run my phone battery down to many pictures it started raining and no taxies were available he put my phone on his internet to order Uber he stayed with us until Uber arrived. He was the best.

Another reason to pay for this type of ticket instead of the normal entrance fee, no long lines! It was so cool to get access to the underground and hear about what it once was. Rita was an amazing tour guide, she was fun and had a wealth of historical knowledge. I would highly recommend her.

Recommend this tour to get a full and proper history of the sites though would have preferred to finish in the forum/palatine hill go be able to explore more.

Pay the extra and do the underground tour, an amazing perspective. Not many tourist down in the underground as it's very restrictive access. You also get restricted access to the area the Pope performs his Easter service from. The Forum tour was a bit rushed but still very informative, you can revisit within 24 hours of your ticket purchase.

We had booked onto this tour at 10.45 AM on Tuesday April 9th 2024 for 3 people. The tour operator was The Ultimate Italy. The Roman Forum part of the tour was almost non-existent. From the meting point to the entrance took 15-20 minutes in which the parts seen were all from the public roads and those inside the forum were all visble from this point. After a 20 minute wait to get through security this left approx 45 minutes for the tour inside. The tour guide invited guests to use the toilet at the entrance and due to their being only 2 toilets with long lines this took a further 30 minutes before the actual tour inside the Forum began. Asa a result this lasted only about 15-20 minutes and as we had proviously done the tour 5 years ago we know that this omitted many parts of the Forum and did not even include Palatine Hill (advertised on the tour literature as part of the visit) at all.
We had taken my son for his birthday and like us he was bitterly disappointed. We have not received the tour that was advertised and I request that an appropriate refund is made.

Our tour guide Claudia was very informative and sociable. We greatly enjoyed learning all of the historical facts that she shared as well as getting to know her as well. It was also so nice to get to skip the lines at the colosseum since we were with a tour group. I highly recommend!

This was an incredibly fun, informative, and thorough tour of the Colosseum and Roman Forum. A guided tour really allows you to get so more much out of the experience than you would be able to get on your own. Highly recommend.

Excellent overview and tour of the central heart of Rome. Tour of the mechanical workings of the Colosseum underground, was beautifully demonstrated and explained. in the forum, our guide showed us how the people spent their time spent their time in public places. Bringing them to life.

We had the most wonderful tour with our guide Barbera. She brought history to life as she explained what we were looking at, and had even had us acting out our parts along the way. Such a great teacher, our whole family loved the experience and it made our day. Would give 6 stars if possible.
