Description

This enthralling tour reveals the majestic Colosseum, the ancient Roman Forum, and the verdant Palatine Hill, all brought to life by stories from a knowledgeable local guide.

The first stop is the Roman Forum. Once the bustling hub of ancient Rome, this site is teeming with the remnants of public buildings and temples, including the sacred dwelling of the Vestal Virgins. It's like stepping back in time to the political, social, and religious epicenter of the city.

Then, meander through the lush greenery of Palatine Hill, the legendary birthplace of Rome. This was the favored locale of the elite during the Roman Republic, and it's not hard to see why!

At the Colosseum, step through the gladiators' gate and experience the thrill of standing in the arena, encircled by the echoes of cheering spectators. Venture into the dungeons below, where gladiators and wild beasts prepared for the spectacle.
