Itinerary
Meet the guide at the meeting point near to the Colosseum. Hear stories of gladiator fights while exploring the Colosseum's first and second tire.
Stroll through the Roman Forum, a rectangular plaza surrounded by ruins of several ancient government buildings that was once the heart of Rome. An archaeological site boasting thousands of stone artifacts and towering columns standing as the only remnants of earlier buildings, the forum is a wonderful place to lose yourself as you roam.
Climb up to the Capitoline Hill, the smallest but most significant of the seven hills of Rome. Admire the famous Piazza del Campidoglio, masterfully designed by Michelangelo.
Walk down to Piazza Venezia and learn the history of "Altare della Patria" which dominates the square.
See the beautiful Piazza della Rotonda, and admire the famous Pantheon, a Roman temple dedicated to all the gods of pagan Rome. Pantheon is the most preserved and influential building of ancient Rome (exterior visit).
Conclude your guided tour at stunning Piazza Navona, one of the most famous squares in Rome. The large and lively square features no less than three magnificent fountains, the most famous is the Bernini's Fountain of Four Rivers in the middle.

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.
