Itinerary
Once you meet your guide at the meeting point, you'll start the tour directly from Colosseum, the iconic symbol of ancient Rome. This architectural marvel, once the epicenter of gladiatorial combat and grand spectacles, now stands as a testament to Roman engineering and culture. Marvel at the intricate details of the underground chambers and learn about the complex systems that brought the Colosseum to life. Your expert guide will share captivating stories and lesser-known facts, giving you an insider's perspective on this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
After the Colosseum, you will continue your tour into the Roman Forum. This sprawling archaeological site, once the center of Roman public life, offers a fascinating glimpse into the empire's political, religious, and social life. Wander through the ruins of grand temples, basilicas, and public spaces, as your guide reveals the Forum's rich history, from the time of the Republic to the heights of Imperial Rome. You'll learn about the significant events that took place here, the speeches of Cicero, and the processions of triumphal emperors. Marvel at the Temple of Saturn, the Arch of Titus, and the House of the Vestal Virgins, each with its own story to tell. The Forum is a treasure trove of history, and your guide will ensure you don't miss a single detail.
the last path of your tour, you'll ascend the Palatine Hill, the legendary birthplace of Rome and a site rich with history and myth. Standing tall above the Roman Forum, this ancient hill was home to emperors, and its ruins offer breathtaking views over the city. As you explore the remnants of imperial palaces, your guide will share the stories of Rome's most powerful rulers and the luxurious lives they led. Discover the Domus Augustana, the House of Livia, and the Stadium of Domitian, all testaments to the grandeur of ancient Rome. The Palatine is also steeped in mythology; it's here that Romulus and Remus are said to have been raised by a she-wolf.

Paula was a wonderful guide. She explained everything in great detail, and it is clear that she truly enjoys her work. From the very first moment, she created a close, welcoming, and pleasant atmosphere. Additionally, she was always attentive to us, ensuring that we were comfortable during the transfers, hydrated, and taken care of at all times. This has been my first organized trip and my first tour, and the experience could not have been better. I hope to have the opportunity to take another tour with her in the future. Thank you very much, Paula, for making this experience so special!

We took the tour of the Forum, Palatine Hill, and the Colosseum. Our guide was Fabio. Despite the heat, the guide made sure we were comfortable at all times, providing all the explanations he could in the shade and indicating where we could find water fountains to cool off. His explanations were fabulous, not only about the monuments we saw but also about anecdotes from history that we were not aware of. Highly recommended.
