Small-group experience for a more personalised and engaging tour

Begin your journey into Ancient Rome at the meeting point, where your tour manager and expert guide will welcome you into your small group and introduce you to the legendary Colosseum. Built by Emperor Vespasian and completed by his son Titus, this monumental amphitheatre—one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World—once hosted the most spectacular and brutal entertainment of the empire. Inside, your guide will bring to life the stories of gladiators, wild animals, and thrilling contests that took place centuries ago. From the best viewing spots in the arena, you will admire the engineering brilliance of the structure as you walk through the same corridors where ancient Romans gathered to cheer, gamble, and revel in the spectacle.

Your experience continues with a gentle stroll to the Roman Forum, the heart of political, religious, and social life in ancient times. Here, you will explore temples, basilicas, triumphal arches, and the Senate House, including the famed Temple of Julius Caesar. The tour then ascends the Palatine Hill, where emperors built luxurious palaces overlooking the city. As you wander beneath iconic umbrella pines and through imperial residences and elegant gardens, your guide will share stories of powerful—and sometimes eccentric—emperors who once shaped world history. The experience ends at Domitian’s vast hippodrome, where breathtaking views offer a perfect moment to reflect on the thousands of years of history surrounding you. Your guide will be happy to answer questions and offer recommendations to enhance the rest of your stay in Rome.
