Next, explore Palatine Hill, dotted with remains of opulent palaces, and stroll past the Roman Forum, once the empire’s vibrant cultural and commercial heart. Your guide brings the stories of emperors, gladiators, and Roman life to life.
This small-group tour follows a relaxed pace, offering an atmospheric and memorable journey through Rome’s landmarks.

Walk in the path of Rome's famous Gladiators and have your expert guide tell their stories and famous events that occurred inside the colossal walls of the Colosseum.
