Highlights
Step into the world of Ancient Rome and trace the legacy of one of history’s most powerful civilizations, whose influence can still be felt in architecture, engineering, language, and culture today. At the heart of this small-group tour stands the Colosseum, the enduring symbol of Roman power and spectacle. Nearly 2,000 years after its construction, its monumental structure still reveals the extraordinary ambition of the ancient Romans. Step onto the Arena Floor, where gladiators once fought before thousands of spectators. From here, admire a striking view of the amphitheater and look down into the underground chambers where gladiators, animals, and stage equipment were prepared for the games. Continue through the Roman Forum, once the beating heart of the ancient city. Among temples, triumphal arches, and public buildings, your guide will bring to life the stories of emperors, citizens, and the events that shaped Rome.

Itinerary
As a symbol of power of the Roman Empire, the mighty Colosseum is a must-visit when in Rome. Your guide will breathe life into this ancient arena, painting images of the savage scenes the Roman State sanctioned to keep the Roman masses in check.
Each of the Roman Forum's monuments contains a story. Only an expert guide can draw that story from its stones. Visit the temples, arches, and basilicas of the ancient city center and gain insight into the rhythm of daily Roman life.
Ascend the most important of the Seven Hills of Rome as your guide enthrals you with the story of the founding of Rome and enjoy the stunning view back over the Roman Forum and Colosseum in the near distance.
Enjoy a panoramic of the second most important of the ancient Seven Hills of Rome - now the beating heart of today's Italian politics.

About Rome
Rome layers nearly three thousand years of history into one walkable city, from the Colosseum and Forum to Baroque piazzas and Vatican art.
Ancient Rome is still in plain sight. The Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill sit together at the city's heart, the Pantheon still stands with its open oculus, and fragments of temples and aqueducts turn up between apartment blocks. Across the Tiber, Vatican City holds St Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums and Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling.
Top-ranked sights in Rome: Colosseum, Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel.
