Full Description

Trace the millennia-old history of Rome with a guided tour of its most iconic monuments.

The route begins at Piazza del Campidoglio, an architectural masterpiece by Michelangelo, overlooking the Imperial Forums with stunning views of the city’s ancient ruins. Continue to Trajan’s Forum, the largest and most impressive of the Imperial Forums, next to the famous Trajan’s Column, a true stone-carved narrative of the military campaigns against the Dacians....

The guided visit continues through the evocative remains of the Roman Forum, along the historic Via Sacra, the beating heart of ancient Rome, where your guide will illustrate temples, arches, and basilicas that showcase the grandeur of the Empire.
Next, climb the Palatine Hill, the legendary birthplace of Rome, where you’ll admire the remains of imperial residences and enjoy spectacular views over the Roman Forum and Circus Maximus.

Descending, you’ll reach the Arch of Constantine, one of the best-preserved triumphal arches, erected to celebrate Constantine’s victory over Maxentius.
The grand finale is at the Colosseum, Rome’s timeless symbol: together with your guide, you’ll explore the interior of the world’s most famous amphitheater, reliving epic tales of gladiators, emperors, and breathtaking spectacles.
