Overview

Discover and learn about Ancient Rome on this 3-hour private tour around these famous landmarks: the Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill with me, Alessandra. In each place you'll learn of its history and hear century-old stories, myths and legends to give you further insight into life in the ancient city. Avoid the queues and enter the sites with fast-track tickets so you can make the most of your time.
The tour begins in the immense amphitheatre, the Colosseum, where you'll explore the various levels of the arena. As you walk around, imagine the atmosphere and noise of thousands of spectators during gladiatorial fights and public shows.
Continue to the archaeological site of the Roman Forum where you can admire the ruins of temples, buildings, arches and more as you explore the city's ancient center. From here you'll head to Palatine Hill, one of the iconic seven hills of Rome, where the city was founded, as legend states, and where the homes of Roman emperors were located.
