Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill Private Tour
Description
No visit to Rome is the Roman Colosseum. As the most famous landmarks in the world, the Colosseum stands today as an iconic symbol of ancient imperial Rome. Commissioned in 72 AD by emperor Vespasian and completed by his son Titus in 80 AD, the Colosseum has withstood devastating earthquakes, fires, and stone-robbers over the centuries. Despite being in constant use for over 1900 years, the structure is incredibly well preserved. Today, the partially restored Colosseum is one of the most visited sites in all of Rome. In 1980, the historic center of Rome including the Colosseum was added to a UNESCO World Heritage site. In 2001, the Roman Colosseum was voted as one of the Seven Wonders of the World, a distinction that is certainly justified.

Rossana was early and waiting for us outside our hotel to take us to our tour of the Colosseum and Roman Forum. We were greeted by our tour guide, Giuseppe. He was knowledgeable, insightful and friendly while explaining historical and architectural information to us regarding the sites. It felt like we were having a casual stroll on a beautiful day with an old friend. Rossana and her team at Rome Italy Explora exceeded our expectations.
We would not be able to grow and develop without feedback like yours. We are thrilled you had a great experience with us and hope to see you again soon.
