What to expect

On this small group tour of the Colosseum, Forum, and Palatine Hill, you'll go back in time to ancient Rome, including a unique visit to the arena floor of the amphitheater. You'll follow the footsteps of the gladiators, as you relive the bloody spectacles that captivated ancient Roman audiences.

You'll learn all about the drama of the deadly ancient games, and you'll have the opportunity to walk out onto the arena floor to see what the gladiators saw almost 2,000 years ago. Discover who the gladiators were and what exactly took place on the sands of the arena; see the imperial box from where the emperor watched the combat, and learn how the games played a vital role in the society of ancient Rome.

In the Roman Forum, you'll stroll along the Via Sacra, the ancient city’s most important road, and explore the enormous basilica of Maxentius. Learn all about the mysterious Vestal Virgins, somber guardians of ancient Rome’s sacred flame.

Conclude your in-depth exploration of life in ancient Rome on the Palatine Hill. The Palatine is where the long history of Roman civilization began, and where the powerful Emperors of the Imperial age ruled over one of the largest empires the world has ever seen. Here, you’ll get a vivid sense of the grandeur of one of the ancient world’s most important cities.
