Tour Overview
This guided walking tour through the heart of the Roman Empire allows you to travel back in time and embrace the 360 degrees of jaw-dropping Roman architecture. Led by a local and experienced guide, you will learn about the history and significance of this long lost empire.
Admire the ingenuity that brought the Colosseum to life in between its commissioning in 70 AD and the official opening in 80 AD. Now an iconic landmark of Rome's history and architecture, as well as one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world, you will enjoy skip-the-line admission with Gray Line past the notoriously long lines. Your local and experienced guide will bring back to life the intense history of the events that occurred inside the Colosseum. A major highlight of the tour, the Flavian Amphitheater once held between 50,000 and 80,000 spectators and was used for over 4 centuries before the magnificent arena fell into neglect, and up until the 18th century it was used as a source of building materials. This must-see landmark is a staple for anyone visiting Rome!
Just outside the Colosseum lies the Arch of Constantine. Explore the Roman Forum and its excavated ruins, where many of the structures are fully intact to this day. For a city that was founded in 753 BC, this is no small feat. We will continue along the breathtaking Palatine Hill, deepening your understanding and connection to the history of Rome. The legends of how Rome's name was coined offer glimpse into the nickname that the city has gained over the last 2,000 years - the Eternal City. Come see for yourself why it has stood the test of time.
