The Roman Forum, also known by its Latin name Forum Romanum, is a rectangular forum surrounded by the ruins of several important ancient government buildings at the center of the city of Rome. The political and business center of ancient Rome, the warn away paths are covered in history. This is where the citizens came to listen to speeches, to meet the senators or to see people like Julius Caesar or Cicero. The ruins tell a story, and it is the story of Rome and its politics, with the likes of the ancient Curia (the Senate) that is still visible, but also with the impressive marble columns of temples which were erected for the first time in V century BC.

Just simply amazing!! Our...

Just simply amazing!! Our guide was fantastic - so much information and created a story behind the ruins for us…this experience wouldn’t have been the same without her! This was worth every penny - so many lines were bypassed due to the private nature of the tour (a must during the summer - even the ‘skip the line’ lines we do long!) and she was just dedicated to our group and all our questions. She was also very cognizant of our sun exposure while we went thru, constantly finding the shade where she could to bring us and continue sharing the story. The transportation service from our hotel made the whole experience seamless and enjoyable. I would do it all over again, highly recommend! It was so worth it!

Fantastic experience!

Fantastic tour of the Colosseum with professional guide, prepared and very nice. We and our children have discovered many curiosities about the place visited also thanks to the use of headset and tablet that allowed us to view historical reconstructions, photographic details, etc... The guide also recommended a great restaurant in the area, away from the usual tourist spots! Absolutely positive experience!
