Itinerary
Stop At:
Colosseum
The Colosseum is one of the most impressive ancient structures in the world, Rome’s architectural masterwork but it also represents the genius and cruelty of the Romans.
Let our guides bring to life the atmosphere of the battles that went on at the Colosseum as you explore the arena where they took place! The arena was the stage where gladiators fought for their lives and those condemned to death were fed to wild animals.
Our meeting point is outside the metro station Colosseum. We will be holding a sign saying Republic Rome and we will personally escort you to the tour starting point. Please bare in mind that the Colosseum metro stop has two exits, you need to take the one that is on the same level of the Colosseum, not the one that’s one floor up. As soon as you come out of the exit you will see a green kiosk (newsagent’s), we will be there waiting for you, holding the Republic Rome sign.
From a stunning panoramic viewpoint on the Palatine Hill our guides will make you relieve the glorious past of the Eternal city as they point out and unravel the secrets of what used to be the social, political and commercial centre of the Roman Empire. Let our guides bring to life the temples, the basilicas, the shops, the arches and the open-air markets where senators, commanders, vestal virgins and common romans spent their lives 2000 years ago. Once the tour is finished you will be able to go inside the forum and visit it at your own pace.
PALATINE HILL
According to the legend the Palatine Hill is where Romulus founded the Eternal City after he had killed his twin Remus in a fit of rage. It’s also the place where the emperors built their monumental and luxurious palaces; let our guides unveil this spectacular archeological site where the ruins, the towering pine trees and the spectacular views over the Circus Maximus and the Roman Forum make it a once in a lifetime experience!
