Special place, and Forum Romanum is super big. Was a little searching for where to get the tickets but luckily found them. I thought someone would walk with us to the entrance but I guess I misunderstood. With the tickets we could go directly to the entrance without queuing, which was super nice. Colosseum is special to walk through, to think how all those people used to live here. Forum Romanum is huge, how special to see that some places are still so well preserved.

The visit itself was very good. The downside was that for many places, especially the Colosseum, you had to pay extra to get in. The procedure to revalidate the reservation was not easy either for older people or for a tourist who does not have internet.

La facilité de réservation des entrées sur internet. Les entrées combinées avec un film sur la représentation des sites antiques à leur apogée, diffusé à l'office de tourisme. L'accueil du personnel à l'office de tourisme près de la place Venezia. L'horaire proposé pour l'entrée au Colisee qui nous a permis de bien visiter le Forum sans pression.

    Nice tour only the audio guide was not precise but we were told to start from the end like this (Roman forum) and then go to the Colosseum. Sure it was the right thing to do but the audio guide was done the other way
  • Pulse of ancient Rome

    Your journey begins at the Colosseum, an iconic symbol of Rome's imperial past. With your host leading the way, you'll bypass the long entry lines and step straight into the ancient theater. Experience the thrill of the battles gladiators once fought, as you explore the first and second tiers of the amphitheater, delving into details of the caste distinctions and seating arrangements. Visit the museum for more historical insights. From there, you'll proceed to the Roman Forum where you can wander among the ruins of once-thriving temples, markets, and government buildings. Finally, climb the Palatine Hill, the legendary birthplace of Rome, and enjoy panoramic views of the city below. This immersive tour includes ample time to explore these historical sites at your own pace.

    Customize your adventure

    Choose from a variety of ticket options to enhance your experience. Opt for a digital audio guide in six languages, offering a more in-depth understanding of these historical sites. For those who prefer reading, a detailed English guidebook is available. For a unique, immersive experience, go for Virtual Reality or multimedia video. You can also get exclusive access to the arena and feel the rush of gladiator battles, that pulled people from all walks of Roman life.
