Overview

After meeting your guide at the meeting point, the group will make their way to the Palatine Hill and roman Forum. Dive into the heart of ancient Rome, where history comes alive amidst stunning ruins and breathtaking views.

Next, visit the stunning Colosseum, where you'll hear insights into this remarkable arena, the pride of the Roman Empire.

Learn about its construction secrets and admire the smart techniques Roman architects used. But remember, this place holds stories of a darker time – tales of struggle, torture and sacrifice.

But the journey continues beyond the surface. Descend into the chilling depths of the hypogeum, the underground network where the real action happened. Discover the clever machinery and hidden passages that brought gladiators and animals into the arena. It's a rare chance to see behind the scenes and appreciate the genius of Ancient Roman engineering.
