Overview

Become a Roman citizen for a little while.  Join our expert guide and be taken back through time to see what it was like in the political, religious and social centre of this magnificent city of Rome.  Learn how they spent their leisure time at the Coliseum watching the animals and gladiators fighting for their lives. With the use of visual aids the ruins of the Coliseum and the Forum will be brought to life. 

Meeting points

At the newsagent in front of the Colosseum metro exit, on the ground level (there is only one exit, just in front the documents). Your tour guide will be holding a sign with your name.

End point

This activity ends back at the meeting point.

Itinerary

  • Colosseum

    You meet your guide at the entrance to the coliseum and with skip-the-line access bypass the waiting tourists and head inside to see this magnificent amphitheater, the largest of ancient Rome.; originally named “the Flavian Ampitheatre” it had 80 entrances and could house 50,000 spectators. 

    1 hour

  • Foro Romano

    When you have seen all there is to see of the Coliseum it is then to the Forum.  You walk on the original streets to the main square which is surrounded by the ruins of magnificent buildings and monuments.  You will see the Senate House, the Temple of Vesta, the Temple of Saturn, the Altar of the Divine Julius Caesar, the Temple of Gemini, the Basilica Emilia, the Arch of Septimius Severus and much more. The ruins are magnificent but with the use of graphic reconstruction you get a real vision of how the Forum looked in times of Ancient Rome.  

    1 hour

  • Colle Capitolino

    The tour end when you reach the Capitol Hill where the temples dedicated to the most important Roman Gods were located.  Here you can also see Michelangelo’s beautiful square and the Statue of Marcus Aurelius. On this private tour you really are taken on a journey back in time; a wonderful experience and one of the best ways to enjoy the Coliseum and Forum.

Claudia does an excellent job. We had a most engaging visit to the Colosseum, Forums, and Palatine Hill. Great for different generations of travelers.

Would recommend to family & friends. Excellent.

Sara was excellent, knowledgeable, friendly, didn’t make us feel rushed at any time. She cares about her job/work and is excited to share her knowledge about the history of Rome. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her or to take this tour.

Amazing!

It turned out my wife and I were the only ones on this private tour. Marta is a great guide. We were able to skip-the-line, as well go to some places most folks don't know about. Don't hesitate and take this tour!
