Join us for a remarkable exploration of ancient Rome, focusing on its most iconic archaeological sites—the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill. This 3-hour guided tour avoids the usual crowds of the Colosseum, allowing for a more relaxed and thorough appreciation of the area’s rich history.
Your journey begins at the Arch of Constantine, where you’ll meet your knowledgeable guide and a small group of fellow history enthusiasts. From there, step back in time as you enter the Roman Forum, the epicenter of ancient Roman life. Your guide will lead you through the ruins of important government buildings, temples, and marketplaces that were the focal point of Roman public life.
As you wander along the ancient paths, your guide will recount tales of the Forum’s vibrant past, bringing to life the bustling atmosphere of this once-thriving center. Learn about the political intrigues, economic strategies, and daily routines that shaped the lives of Roman citizens.
Next, ascend to Palatine Hill, the most famous of Rome’s seven hills. As the site where Romulus is said to have founded the city, the hill offers a history-steeped setting and some of the best views over Rome. Explore the ruins of imperial palaces and gaze out over the Forum and Circus Maximus.
Your tour concludes with panoramic views of the Eternal City, providing perfect photo opportunities and a deeper understanding of how this area has influenced the world throughout the centuries.
