About This Tour

Step back in time and discover the grandeur of ancient Rome through its most iconic sites: the Colosseum, Roman Forum, Palatine Hill, and underground tunnels. The Colosseum, a symbol of Roman power, once held 80,000 spectators for gladiator battles. See the massive arena and feel the weight of history. Nearby, the Roman Forum reveals the heart of ancient Rome’s political and social life. Explore the ruins of temples, basilicas, and government buildings that once shaped the empire’s might. Ascend to the Palatine Hill, the legendary birthplace of Rome, offering stunning views of the Forum and Circus Maximus, with the ruins of imperial palaces once home to emperors. Beneath the city, underground tunnels and excavations uncover hidden layers of history, from ancient Christian sanctuaries to 1st-century Roman homes. These fascinating underground sites offer a rare glimpse into Rome’s past, connecting its ancient roots with its monumental legacy.
