WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
Explore the symbol of the eternal city of Rome with privileged skip-the-line entry to the Colosseum. Enjoy the monument at your own relaxed and leisurely pace. Plunge yourself in the ancient Roman history and grasp the wonders of what this ancient site has to offer. The Roman Forum and Palatine Hill tickets are on a fixed-time schedule and the tour manager can explain the available times with or without guide in case you upgrade. Please show up at the meeting point 20 minutes before your tour starting time. The Meeting Point Location is located at the green kiosk outside the Colosseum stop (Blue Metro line).
2.
Explore the ruins of the Ancient Rome. The Roman Forum was the very core of the Eternal City. This is was the political, religious and financial center of the city and all the Roman Empire. The Forum is where some of the most important Ancient Roman buildings were, and their ruins now are. Tickets are provided to you once inside the Colosseum. The guide will send you the PDF tickets on your favorite electronic device so you can explore the Roman Forum at your own pace. After your visit at the Colosseum, once at the exit, turn right and head towards the triumphal Arch of Titus. On the right you can see the entrance to the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill areas.
3.
The Palatine Hill is where everything started. This is where Romulus, the first king of Rome, established the first layout of the city. Explore the ruins of the imperial palaces and walk through the Farnese Gardens to get to the high view point of the terrace. From there you have a great view of the Roman Forum below. The two areas are connected and you can visit them both with the tickets provided.

CANCELLATION POLICY

Out of all the things we did this was terrible. Long wait despite skip the queue, your guide went missing for ages couldn’t hear your guide as he spoke not into a microphone and our ear buds worked as we could hear the thousands of people in the building. They well and truly fill the Vatican and it’s over crowded. Ended up getting lost from our guide as got swept on by the crowds and to be honest we didn’t see any benefit of our tour guide I felt sorry for the others in our group!

This was a great way to see the colosseum, as trying to get tickets without a tour company was difficult.

Our guide Alex was great. He was knowledgeable, and thorough. He was using a new microphone system, which was a little muffled, but otherwise good (by no fault of his). The speed we had to walk from the meeting spot to the forum/palantine hill was FAST PACED. I think he forgot that he had 20 ppl trailing him, and it's not quite as easy to maneuver around traffic, people and cars in a group. But it was appreciated that he was trying to fit everything in at the ticketed time.

It was a great experience and would definitely recommend it to others!

Me and my friends had David as our tour guide for the Colosseum tour and we couldnt have asked for a better tour guide. He was very knowledgeable on everything Rome and the history. Most importantly he was very funny and made the entire experience a very enjoyable time

The Colosseum and Roman Forum are sensational. Mandatory attraction in Rome. The guide, whose name unfortunately I don't remember, was super friendly, attentive and provided relevant information throughout the route.
