Colosseum, Palatine Hill & Roman Forum Tour
Description
This tour is ideal for those who want to discover Rome’s historical monuments; the tour will take you to the Colosseum and Roman Forum.
You will meet with your tour guide and the other participants at the Meeting Point. After a brief explanation of the itinerary, you’ll enter the Colosseum and will begin with the tour of the world’s largest amphitheater.
The tour guide will bring the Colosseum back to life by explaining how the gladiators entertained the crowds with spectacular fights and show you the engineering applied by the Romans to build such an imposing structure ahead of its time. You’ll find out the origin of its name, its purpose and much more.
After the Colosseum, you will proceed to the archaeological site of the Roman Forum which represented the commercial, legal, and administrative center of ancient Rome. You will literally feel as if you were brought back in time during the Imperial age of Rome. All of this, while walking past ancient ruins such as Julius Caesar’s original mausoleum, where his body was cremated, the imposing temple of Antonino and Faustina, and the fascinating structure of the ancient Roman senate.
