WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Palatine Hill
The Palatine Hill is the centremost of the Seven Hills of Rome and is one of the most ancient parts of the city and has been called "the first nucleus of the Roman Empire.". It stands 40 metres above the Roman Forum, looking down upon it on one side, and upon the Circus Maximus on the other. From the time of Augustus Imperial palaces were built here.
2. Arch of Constantine
The Roman triumph (triumphus) was a civil ceremony and religious rite of ancient Rome, held to publicly celebrate and sanctify the success of a military commander who had led Roman forces to victory in the service of the state or, originally and traditionally, one who had successfully completed a foreign war.
3. Colosseum
The Colosseum or Coliseum also known as the Anfiteatro Flavio or Colosseo, is an oval amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy. Built of travertine, tuff, and brick-faced concrete, it is the largest amphitheatre ever built. The Colosseum is situated just east of the Roman Forum.
4. Via Sacra
The Via Sacra (Latin: Via Sacra) (Sacred Road) was the main street of ancient Rome, leading from the top of the Capitoline Hill, through some of the most important religious sites of the Forum (where it is the widest street), to the Colosseum.
5. Roman Forum
The Roman Forum, also known by its Latin name Forum Romanum (Italian: Foro Romano), is a rectangular forum (plaza) surrounded by the ruins of several important ancient government buildings at the center of the city of Rome. Citizens of the ancient city referred to this space, originally a marketplace, as the Forum Magnum, or simply the Forum.
6. Via dei Fori Imperiali
The Via dei Fori Imperiali (formerly Via dei Monti, then Via dell'Impero) is a road in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy, that runs in a straight line from the Piazza Venezia to the Colosseum. Its course takes it over parts of the Forum of Trajan, Forum of Augustus and Forum of Nerva, parts of which can be seen on both sides of the road. Since the 1990s, there has been a great deal of archeological excavation on both sides of the road, as significant Imperial Roman relics remain to be found underneath it.

Rita, my guide at the Colosseum was phenomenal. Knowledgeable, fun, and engaging. You can tell she loves what she does and got us involved at all times. She took pictures of us to remember the experience and had an illustrative book with before, and after pictures so you can understand the magnitude of every single landmark. Rita was mi Favorita

We did the visit with Rosalia Gangemi, a very friendly guide, who took the time to explain everything. We really appreciated his dynamism and friendliness. Big bonus: she takes her time at the end of the visit to recommend restaurants or must-see places in Rome. We thank her wholeheartedly, it was a pleasant experience!

2 Aussie couples did the 3 hour Roman Forum, Coliseum and Palatine Hill tour with Alessandra (Flag 11). She made the trip fun and we learnt a lot. She spoke good English and gave us plenty of opportunities to ask questions and rest when we needed it. Highly recommend this tour especially with Alessandra.
