Step by Step

This guided tour of the Colosseum, Palatine Hill and Roman Forum invites you to enter the political, social and monumental centre of Ancient Rome accompanied by a licensed professional guide. Thanks to priority access, you will enter the site more quickly and be able to focus on what's important: understanding the history and enjoying the tour.

The experience begins at the Colosseum, the world's most famous amphitheatre, where you'll hear tales of gladiatorial combat, public spectacles and impressive Roman engineering. As well as touring the interior, you'll admire panoramic views from the upper levels, once reserved for the most privileged sectors of Roman society.

You will then continue to the Roman Forum, the great centre of public life in the ancient city, among temples, arches, basilicas and buildings where decisions were taken that marked the history of Rome. With the guide's explanations, the ruins make sense and allow you to imagine what daily life was like in the heart of the Empire.

The tour ends on the Palatine Hill, one of the most legendary places in Rome and considered the founding site of the city. From here you will enjoy magnificent views and gain a better understanding of the historical dimension of this archaeological site. At the end of the tour, you can continue exploring the area on your own if you wish.
