Indication on where to find the quide could have been better. There are two exits of the Metro station (on 2 levels) at the site. This was not mentioned in the information. An easy thing to correct. (The guide was outside the entrance on the lower level) Aside from the above, the whole process was smooth and professional.

Your question is beside the point. I say I enjoyed the experience and you ask me the main reasons why I didn't ????. There's a comprehension problem!

Our guide Maria was excellent!! Really knowledgeable, friendly and helpful in whatever we needed. She made our experience unique!!

If you only have a short period of time to see the absolute best that Rome has to offer, this tour is the perfect way to maximize your time and experience the archaeological wonders of the city in the company of an expert local guide in your choice of language and a small group of fellow travelers.

The world-famous Colosseum

After meeting your tour guide at the designated meeting point, head to the domineering Colosseum. Here, you will be able to make your way directly into the world’s largest amphitheater ever constructed. Learn all about the theater’s bloody past as your tour guide tells you stories about the infamous gladiator games. Believed to have been constructed as a gift from ancient emperors to the Roman people, this grand outdoor amphitheater once served as the epicenter for entertainment, hosting various public spectacles and games.

Roman Forum and Palatine hill

Next, walk the ancient path that Romans once used every day as you venture into the Roman Forum along the Via Sacra. Neighboring the Colosseum, the Roman Forum provides an insight into life in Ancient Rome unlike any other site in Rome. Visit the temple of Vesta, Antonino, and Faustina. Marvel at the Basilica Julia and Aemilia, imagining what Rome was like thousands of years ago.

Finally, make your way to Palatine Hill and enjoy one of the city’s best vantage points from the hill where Rome was originally founded. Once considered the most desirable neighborhood in Rome, Palatine Hill lives on as an extensive archaeological site. Explore ruins of the Flavian Palace and Stadium of Domitian, as well as the legendary Hut of Romulus.
