Overview

This incredible tour goes to the very heart of ancient Rome and takes in the Empire’s most iconic monuments. Our experienced guide will take you back to the time of gladiator fights at the Colosseum and reveal the secrets of the Roman Forum, which was the political and economic centre of the city and, therefore, of the entire empire. No tour of this area would be complete without exploring the Palatine Hill – the Beverly Hills of ancient Rome, where emperors and nobles resided, high above the riff-raff below.
