- Colosseum - The Colosseum, originally called Amphitheatrum Flavium or simply Amphitheatrum, is the world’s largest amphitheater, situated in the heart of Rome. Martial described it as a monument destined to surpass all other human creations in fame. From its inception, it has served as a true symbol of Rome.

Throughout much of ancient Rome’s history, it was the political, legal, religious, and economic hub of the city, as well as the central point of the entire Roman civilization.
- Palatine Hill - The Palatine is one of Rome’s Seven Hills, located between the Velabro and the Roman Forum, and is among the city’s oldest areas. Today, it is a vast open-air museum that can be explored during the day.

Spectacular visit to the Colosseum - One of the 7 wonders of the modern world and if you are accompanied by a guide like Vianca is already the maximum, friendly, attentive and with a great knowledge of art history.
During our tour a couple delayed despite warnings and stayed behind despite waiting for her

I can’t believe I shared experience with gladiators. - Get ready to be moved emotionally. There are very few places where you can share steps with ancient Emperors, Governors, people of all classes and Gladiators.
I had to remind myself that I was truly in the place I studied as a child.
Our guide FABIO was phenomenal! He was wonderful
Grey lines I love Rome was wonderful in making sure we found the location easily.
I have booked all my tours in Viator via Rakuten and highly recommend this one.
What a privilege to be in Italy and have such kind, informative and professional team!
The emotions were palpable. ♥️😞😃

Fantastic tour! - I did a tour with Alexandra, and there were only 10 of us. It was a mix of young and older people from all over the world. She was friendly, deeply knowledgeable (with postgraduate degrees in archaeology and art history!) She was enthusiastic and more than happy to share in-depth knowledge of Roman life, while also offering to take photos for us! She takes care of those with limited mobility in the group. She encouraged questions and took care to answer them, allowing everyone to have a better understanding. It was designed to be three hours, but she went above and beyond for those of us who were eager to keep exploring the area. Thank you Alex!
Do try to go to the bathroom before starting the tour. The whole area is full of tourists and toilet queues are long. The scheduled bathroom break was about 2.5 - 3 hours in.
The tour covers some the biggest sights - c
Colosseum, Palatine Hill, Forum. After the tour is finished you are free to continue wandering in the archaeological area (if you still have energy!). It will be well into lunchtime so you can grab a bite at the cafe inside the park, or bring a packed lunch. Once you leave the park you can’t return.

Ancient Rome Guided Tour: Colosseum, Forum and Palatine - A great trip to see the Ancient Rome Guided Tour: Colosseum, Forum and Palatine with the most enthusiastic and knowledgable guide Fabio! His infectious love for his city shone through with each area he took us and nothing was a chore, even stopping to help other travellers lost or asking for information along the way, but we got ample time to see everything and never felt he rushed us along, definitely made our tour of these beautiful places a more enjoyable experience, well worthy of 5 stars!!!

Find another tour company - Do not be late. They will not wait.
Assistant tour guide very rude. When we asked if we could catch up with the guide, the assistant said no way to contact him. We could have easily found him and joined up. Instead we lost $170 and no tour
