Your visit to Rome is undoubtedly incomplete without a tour of the Roman Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and the Palatine Hill. More than just landmarks, these are significant parts of history, home to awe-inspiring events in history, gladiator contests, and, of, course, sublime examples of Roman architecture. This 3-hour long walking tour will cover one of the most fascinating trips on your visit to Rome.
You will begin the tour by meeting your local guide near the Colosseum, from where you will start with the iconic arena flow of the landmark with a special pass. Stroll through the very place that once seated more than 50,000 spectators at a time, echoing with deafening cheers and roars as the onlookers enjoyed gladiatorial contests.
It was also where reenactment of sea battles, animal hunts, and even executions took place. The large amphitheater, Flavian Amphitheater, though now partially in ruins, stands grandly, emanating a unique charm that not only makes for a perfect backdrop for your walking tour but also provides ample memorable photo opportunities.
A few minutes walk from the Colosseum with your friendly local guide will bring you to the Roman Forum, the place where important social and political issues were brought for processing. The forum, where processions, public addresses, elections, and even criminal trials took place, was a center of humdrum in the daily life of Romans.
Today, the Roman Forum is a significant landmark and a great opportunity to learn about history. Our guide will take to the archeological site, giving you fascinating facts, trivia, and lesser-known tales. Engage in the historical importance of the remains of temples, basilicas, and monuments in the forum, once graced by the presence of great historic figures such as Julius Caesar and Cicero.
The final stop on this private walking tour is Palatine Hill, where you will reach after a 40-meter climb up a hill from the Roman Forum. The third landmark on the tour of the remarkable archaeological trio not only offers views of amazing archeology and history but also views that never fail to stay an incredible memory!
The Palatine Hill, the center of Rome's Seven Hills, once had grand palaces and gorgeous gardens, home to emperors who shaped an empire and other members of Rome's affluent society. The climb atop the hill is definitely worth it, as you know when walk around the remnants of these palaces and enjoy the spectacular panoramic views of the Eternal City. And since your tour comes with a guide and tickets, you can skip the waits and marvel at the architecture, and political and cultural significance of the place with leisure!
