This small-group tour offers a full day of discovery, showcasing Rome’s most celebrated landmarks. Guests will meet near the Colosseum, where their expert guide will introduce them to the ancient theater's fascinating history, including its role as a gladiator battleground. The journey will continue to the Roman Forum, once the heart of Roman public life, and Palatine Hill, the birthplace of Rome's mythological founders. Thanks to skip-the-line access, guests will have more time to explore these historic sites.
