Roman Forum, Colosseum and Palatine Hill Guided Tour Experience

Most guided tours of the Roman Forum have the added advantage of including entry to two more landmarks of ancient Roman history - the Colosseum and Palatine Hill. As these 3 sites are located close to each other, it is possible to explore them all in a single tour.

Generally, your tour will start at the Colosseum. Many skip-the-line tickets enable you to bypass the long entry lines. You will be led by your guide through this historical masterpiece, all the while learning about its fascinating history and architecture.
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.
