Overview

Trace the glorious and powerful past of the Roman Empire. Rome was essentially the basis of Western civilization as we know it today. The Roman empire's influence can still strongly be found in western government, engineering, architecture, language, and literature.

Our tour's centerpiece is the Colosseum, the quintessential symbol of the Roman Empire's power. Still standing after nearly 2,000 years, the Colosseum is a compliment to the genius engineering of the Romans.

We then visit the beating heart of ancient Rome: the Roman Forum. Only a guide can make the Forum a worthwhile visit. The ancient complex offers many clues to how Romans lived, worshiped, and entertained.

Saving the most spectacular sights until last, we'll climb the Palatine Hill. Romulus founded Rome on the ancient hill. It later became the favoured place for the emperors to build their elaborate palaces.
