    Immerse Yourself into the History and Wonder of the Colosseum

    Meet up with your guide, who will help you gain entry to the attraction. With over seven million visitors annually, the Colosseum is arguably one of the most popular tourist sites in the world. Believed to have been constructed as a gift from the ancient emperors to the Roman people, this grand outdoor amphitheater once served as the epicenter for entertainment, hosting various public spectacles and games. Your guide, of course, will be happy to answer your questions and tell you tales about the epic battles fought in the arena in ancient times. Your guide will also walk you along the entire circumference of the Colosseum. For 90 minutes, you get to travel back in time and understand what this amphitheater must have been like when it was occupied by 80,000 screaming Romans.

    Enjoy Priority Access to the Roman Forum as well as the Palatine Hill

    Following your tour of the Colosseum, make you way to the Roman Forum, where you will gain priority access. Take in spectacular views of the Forum as you try to imagine what it must have been like during it's heyday and, afterward, walk past the most important and breathtaking monuments present here as you explore the area on your own. Feel free to then trek to the top of the Palatine Hill at your own pace for unparalleled views of the Forum and Circus Maximus, making it clear why this was once one of the most coveted neighbourhoods in Ancient Rome.
