From the time you meet your expert English-speaking guide outside the Colosseum to when they leave you at the top of Palatine Hill 3 hours later, you’ll travel through the ruins of Ancient Rome before you get the opportunity to walk beneath the giant arches of the Colosseum. The Colosseum is vast and it is easy to see why it was one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The scale of the double amphitheater with its stands, arches and arena makes visitors feel small. Yes, it is huge, but you don’t need a guide to tell you that. Instead, you’ll dig into the detail of the arena, the seating arrangements and the spectacles, to discover what life was like in the past. You’ll leave with a completely different picture of Ancient Roman society. Then, head to the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill to relish the ancient palaces, ruins and temples of past emperors. You’ll walk along centuries of worn cobblestones on the Via Sacra, through the temples of the Vestal Virgins and triumphal arches up to Palatine Hill. This is where legend has it that the city was founded and where the emperors built their palaces. Looking out over the monuments of Ancient Rome from Palatine Hill, you’ll understand how fascinating the city is. After your 3-hour exploration with an expert guide and headsets you’ll be enthralled by the story of how this city conquered the world.Important Due to the Colosseum’s reservation policy, the scheduled visiting hours cannot be modified.
