Colosseum, arena floor, palatine hill and the forum tour at 11am. It was amazing! The guide, (so sorry we didn't catch his name) but he was so knowledgeable, gave plenty opportunity to ask questions, tried to keep us out of the blazing sun were possible. Worth every cent we paid!

Visiting the Colosseum is an absolute must-do in Rome because it’s not just a monument, it’s a journey back in time. Standing inside, you can truly imagine the scale of the Roman Empire and the incredible engineering of nearly 2,000 years ago. The Colosseum is one of the most iconic landmarks in the world, and walking through its arches makes history come alive in a way that no book or documentary ever could. It’s also beautifully located in the heart of Rome, surrounded by the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, so in one visit you experience the very essence of Ancient Rome.

An unforgettable visit to the Colosseum thanks to our guide Said! His explanations were clear, full of anecdotes and very lively. You could tell he knew his subject inside out, and really enjoyed sharing his knowledge. Thanks to him, we discovered the Colosseum from a whole new angle, far beyond what you'd find in the usual guidebooks. Many thanks to Said for this fascinating experience!

After exploring the Colosseum, your guide will then lead you to the Roman Forum, which was once the the political, commercial, cultural and judicial epicenter of ancient Rome.
Finally, the tour ends at Palatine Hill, which you can ascend to soak in the panoramic views of Rome.
While the guide will keep the group together for the main tour and explanation, there is usually some time allocated for independent exploration, where you can check out points of interest at your own pace, take photos, or simply soak in the atmosphere.

Starting at €27, guided tours to the Roman Forum vary in price according to their offerings. Typically, guided tours come in two formats:
Combo tours: Starts at €27
