Itinerary
1
Colosseum
Experience the Colosseum before walking the streets of the Roman Forum in the footsteps of senators and emperors. After meeting your expert friendly guide, you will begin to hear all about the history of the monument with the advantage of having the guide all to yourself. Once inside you will learn all about the amazing lives of the gladiators and the many different (and deadly) weapons they used, all while soaking in the incredible architecture from the best viewpoint in the arena. We will then walk around the colossal structure where ancient Romans used to cheer on their heroes, gamble and marvel at the exotic animals from all parts of the enormous Roman Empire.
1 hour
2
Roman Forum
After walking around inside the building, seeing it from its many different and beautiful angles, the tour will begin a short walk toward the Roman Forum. The forum was the heart and soul of the ancient city with many of its most important temples and political buildings, and though most are in ruins it is still one of the most visually impressive archaeological parks in the world. In this incredible walk through history the tour will fully explore the most important and spectacular sites. Entering near the Senate House the group continues past the law courts, triumphal arches and beautiful Temples, including the famed temple of Julius Caesar where his ashes were laid to rest.
45 minutes
3
Palatine Hill
We will continue the tour by climbing up the gentle slopes of the Palatine Hill where rich Romans lived in their luxury villas, while being waited on hand and foot. Under the umbrella pines, which scatter the landscape, we will explore the palace of the emperors, home of the most powerful people in the ancient world. You will learn more about the lives of these great (and occasionally quite mad) men, visiting the stately dining rooms and serene gardens, getting an idea of the unbelievable luxury that they would have lived in. The last stop on our tour is Domitian’s hippodrome, attached to the imperial palace, where the group can bask in the surrounding view and feel the thousands of years of history and change that this unique city has gone through.
