Summary
Tour info
Why take this tour?
You’ve been doing a good amount of walking, so it’s time for a short break to use the restroom or sip a coffee on a cafe terrace. From there, you'll set your eyes on the site where Emperor Julius Caesar was murdered. Without your knowledgeable guide, you might just miss this hidden gem where one of Ancient Rome's most famous scenes played out.
Finally, you’ll make your way to the Roman Forum, stopping to admire the beautiful Piazza Venezia and Michelangelo's stunning Piazza Campidoglio. Head straight into the Forum for an insightful tour. Your guide will bring thousands of years of history to life with stories, facts, myths, and legends.
You'll even get to explore the Palatine Hill's newest monument, the Domus Tiberiana. Recently reopened after years of restoration, this former imperial palace gives you a peek into the decadent lives of Ancient Rome's emperors.
Exiting Palatine Hill, catch an impressive view of the Colosseum and Arch of Constantine, which is where you'll say goodbye to your guide and small group. By the end of your tour, you'll have traced thousands of years of history and met the ingenious and infamous emperors whose decisions shaped the rise and fall of an empire. Led by an expert guide with tickets to the Roman Forum included, you can relax and focus on the captivating history of Ancient Rome as it unfolds right before your eyes.
