Walk in the footsteps of Roman emperors and citizens with your reserved entrance ticket for the Colosseum and the Roman Forum. Enjoy views over the archeological site. Walk along the Via Sacra, immerse yourself in Roman history, and reach the temple, which houses the altar where Julius Caesar was cremated. Visitors still leave flowers and candles at the site to this day.

Start your experience at the local partner's office, where you'll enjoy a 25-minute multimedia video about ancient Rome. Then, visit the Colosseum and the Roman Forum and learn all about their history from your professional guide. Immerse yourself in Roman history. Once inside the Colosseum, your expert guide will teach you about the amphitheater's bloody past, with tales of gladiators, mock sea battles, and executions.

Then, take a journey through Vatican City’s highlights. Explore the Vatican Museums and see the spectacular Sistine Chapel. This excursion into the Vatican’s legendary art and architecture starts at the Vatican Museums. Your guide will lead you to the best galleries to see frescoes, statues, tapestries, and historical maps. You will also find the Borgia apartment, the Pinacoteca Vaticana, and the beautiful Vatican Library.

Continue to the Sistine Chapel to admire masterpieces by Michelangelo, Botticelli, Ghirlandaio, Pinturicchio, and Perugino. Then, you’ll ascend Bernini’s Royal Staircase, a masterwork of architectural achievement rebuilt in the 16th and 17th centuries.
