Itinerary
You meet your guide at the entrance to the coliseum to see this magnificent amphitheater, the largest of ancient Rome.; originally named “the Flavian Ampitheatre” it had 80 entrances and could house 50,000 spectators.
When you have seen all there is to see of the Coliseum it is then to the Forum. You walk on the original streets to the main square which is surrounded by the ruins of magnificent buildings and monuments. You will see the Senate House, the Temple of Vesta, the Temple of Saturn, the Altar of the Divine Julius Caesar, the Temple of Gemini, the Basilica Emilia, the Arch of Septimius Severus and much more. The ruins are magnificent but with the use of graphic reconstruction you get a real vision of how the Forum looked in times of Ancient Rome.
The tour end when you reach the Capitol Hill where the temples dedicated to the most important Roman Gods were located. Here you can also see Michelangelo’s beautiful square and the Statue of Marcus Aurelius. On this private tour you really are taken on a journey back in time; a wonderful experience and one of the best ways to enjoy the Coliseum and Forum.

Sarah was an outstanding tour guide—courteous, extremely knowledgeable, and genuinely interesting. Despite the intense heat, she constantly checked to make sure everyone was comfortable and adapted the tour to suit the conditions. Although we decided to shorten our tour because of the heat, Sarah did an excellent job of ensuring we still experienced all the key sights and highlights of the Colosseum and the Roman Forum. Her insights made us feel like we were getting an insider’s perspective, bringing the history to life in a way that was both engaging and memorable. A fantastic tour, made even better by an exceptional guide. We highly recommend Sarah!
Excellent tour. Navigated the lines efficiently and had every question answered during the tour. Really enjoyed our time together.
Claudia does an excellent job. We had a most engaging visit to the Colosseum, Forums, and Palatine Hill. Great for different generations of travelers.
Sara was excellent, knowledgeable, friendly, didn’t make us feel rushed at any time. She cares about her job/work and is excited to share her knowledge about the history of Rome. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her or to take this tour.
The knowledge of Guide had. He was able to give us all of the highlights on what could’ve been an eight hour tour and he was awesome explaining everything to us
It turned out my wife and I were the only ones on this private tour. Marta is a great guide. We were able to skip-the-line, as well go to some places most folks don't know about. Don't hesitate and take this tour!
Ciao Alan, thanks for your nice review. Marta is lovely ;) and I am happy you've spent a good time with her. Hope to see you again here in Italy. All the best from all our staff at Rome City tours
We had a fabulous time on both tours!!!! Claudia was very prompt on her arrival, warm, friendly, and very knowledgeable of the Colosseum Tour. She made the information very interesting and easy to understand. She was a fantastic tour guide. Tommaso was also fabulous for the Sights of Rome Tour. He also was very prompt on his arrival, warm, friendly, and easy to talk with. He completely tailored the tour to us and was able to gage the situation when our youngest daughter was feeling a bit tired and needed a “gelato” stop 😃. He was very informative and relatable. He was a fantastic tour guide. I would highly recommend both tours and both Claudia and Tommaso as tour guides!!!
Hi Micaiah, thank you very much for your enthusiastic review! We're also pleased you had such a wonderful time! Tommaso and Claudia are amazing! You're more than welcome if you decide to come back again! All the best from all the staff at Rome City Tours!
