What to expect
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Colosseum, Piazza del Colosseo, 00184 Rome Italy
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.
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
Stop At: Palatine Hill, Piazza Santa Maria Nova, 53, 00186 Rome Italy
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.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Roman Forum, Largo della Salara Vecchia 5/6, 00186 Rome Italy
The Forum and the Via Sacra, the Sacred Way, were the heart of Ancient Rome. All of Roman life could be found in this bustling marketplace: commerce and trade, political rallies, military parades, and the sacred ceremonies of the Vestal Virgins.
In just three hours, you’ll experience all that allowed Rome to endure so long – staying immersed in history the entire time, without wasting a moment waiting in line.
Duration: 30 minutes

We were very fortunate to have Valerio assigned as our guide for the tour of the Colosseum, Palatine Hill and the Forum. As an archaeologist who has worked at these sites, he is extremely knowledgable and interesting to be with. His English is very good and he was attentive to questions and comments from the group. The tour was at a nice pace and we had ample opportunity to take great photos. Many of us in the group followed his recommendation of a nice nearby restaurant for lunch, which he likes. Based on our experience with Valerio, we strongly recommend this tour.Eddy was a great tour guide! He was funny and new all the cool info and didn’t make the tour boring.

I am sure it said 3 hours but it ended after 2 hrs. The information was good but not woth the money I had to pay.

Eddy our tour guide was incredible. You could see his passion and knowledge thorough every aspect of the tour. He knew everything! Palatine Hill was so much more than we thought it would be, but again, only because of Eddy doing such an amazing job. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Rome and looking for an in-depth tour.
