Foro Romano

The Roman Forum (Forum Romanum) was the center of day-to-day life in ancient Rome.

Your Private Guide will also show you the archeological site on the Palatine Hill, which has been called "the first nucleus of the Roman Empire.” Here, you will hear the legend of Romulus and Remus, the brothers who founded Rome, and find ruins of imperial palaces created for high Roman society.

City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
