Skip the line: Colosseum, Palatine Hill and Roman Forum Small Group Tour
Rome, Italy
Come and explore the ruins on our Colosseum and Ancient Rome tour. Discover the mystery that shrouds the games from your expert guide as we bring the incredible history contained in those colossal walls back to life.
This tour includes far more than Rome's flagship ancient stadium, since you will venture on with your guide to the Palatine Hill – the place where the city of Rome was first founded and also the location of the expansive palace complex that the Roman emperors called home. From the Palatine Hill you will admire unforgettable views of the Roman Forum before we analyze the city and learn about life in downtown Ancient Rome.
*Please note we will either start with the Colosseum or the Roman Forum/Palatine Hill depending on the time of tickets we are able to purchase*
