In this guided tour, you will visit the Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill, in a group of max 15 participants, so you'll have a semi-private experience. Led by a professional guide, your tour will start with the magnificent Colosseum, where you will feel like a real roman gladiator! The tour will continue with the Palatine Hill, considered to be the birthplace of the Italian capital.
Citizens belonging to the upper class settled in the Palatine Hill and built sumptuous palaces, of which important traces are still preserved.

Insider tips

  • ★Arrive 10–15 minutes early at the meeting point; guides won't hold the group past start time and the Colosseum crowds peak mid-morning
  • ★Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring water; the tour involves uneven terrain and limited shade on Palatine Hill
  • ★Ask your guide about the subterranean hypogeum (underground chambers) beneath the Colosseum floor—many visitors miss this detail without expert context

Good to know

  • •Sturdy footwear essential; surfaces are ancient stone, often uneven or crumbling
  • •Bring 1–2 litres of water and sun protection (hat, sunscreen); minimal shade on Palatine Hill
  • •Group size capped at 15 ensures closer interaction with guide and easier photo opportunities
  • •Not wheelchair accessible due to archaeological site terrain and numerous stone steps
