The tour will always start at the Coliseum, where you’ll benefit from pre-booked tickets, ensuring you won’t waste time in queues before starting to explore. You’ll hear fascinating stories and anecdotes from your guide about the history of this grand amphitheatre and the spectacles that were once staged there.
Next, you’ll walk to the Arch of Constantine and the Forum, both located close to the Colosseum. The Forum was at the centre of life in Ancient Rome, a hub for politics, religion and commerce. Here you’ll find the ruins of the Temple of Julius Caesar, built on the site of his cremation, the Arch of Titus, House of the Vestal Virgins, the Senate House and the Basilica of Maxentius, to name but a few.
One of the most distinctive monuments in Rome today is Il Vittoriano; built in 1885 in honour of King Victor Emmanuel II. Built in the neoclassical style, this imposing building is referred to as the “Wedding Cake” by the locals, for reasons which will become clear! Located nearby is the Quirinal Palace, the official residence of the current Italian President.
You will then head to the famous Trevi Fountain, a showcase of baroque sculpture!
You will then pass the Spanish steps on the way to Piazza Navona. Here you’ll see Bernini’s incredible ‘Fountain of the Four Rivers’ before taking a short stroll to view the Pantheon.
With so much on offer in Rome, a private guided tour is the best way to ensure you see the most important sites and sights.

If you book this activity, ask for Paula as your guide. She’s actually an archaeologist so she knows her stuff. She’s amazing! You will do a lot of walking, but that is to be expected. Highly recommend. Jeff, San Diego
