  • Arch of Constantine
    Meet your guide at the foot of a 4th-century triumphal arch, built to commemorate Emperor Constantine’s victory over his rival Maxentius. One of ancient Rome’s best-preserved monuments, it sits just steps from the Colosseum and offers a fascinating glimpse into the city’s imperial past.
  • Colosseum
    Save hours of planning as you explore the Colosseum with your expert guide, who will transport you back to the heyday of the Roman Empire. Expect fascinating facts and engaging stories that bring the past to life. Learn about the Colosseum’s gladiator fights, beast hunts, and executions, and imagine the scenes as you gaze down at the arena floor. Discover how the Colosseum was built and how advanced engineering and technology made the games possible. Over the course of an hour, you’ll explore the first and second levels of the Colosseum, with plenty of stops at the best photo spots.
  • Walk along the ancient cobbled stones of the Via Sacra (Sacred Way), the route that triumphant generals and legionaries once took through the Roman Forum to celebrate Rome’s victories over its enemies. (pass by)
  • Palatine Hill
    Your next stop is the site where Rome was founded. According to legend, it was on this hill that Romulus killed his twin brother Remus before establishing the Eternal City in 753 BC. The Palatine Hill also gave us the word “palace,” as it was home to Rome’s rich and powerful. Explore the remains of the luxurious imperial palaces as you wander through what was the ‘Beverly Hills’ of the ancient world. The sprawling ruins, towering pine trees, and spectacular views of Circus Maximus and the Roman Forum make this a truly unforgettable experience.
  • Roman Forum
    The final stop on your tour brings you into the heart of the Ancient City. Explore what life was like for everyday Romans as you wander through the social, religious, and political center of Rome’s empire. Marvel at the remains of 2,000-year-old temples, triumphal arches, sprawling basilicas, and more as you walk the same stones once trodden by Julius Caesar, Cicero, and Augustus.
