Imperial Rome with Colosseum Walks

Time travel back to the ancient Roman Empire and discover the city’s imperial past

Your exploration begins at the Arch of Constantine, where you will meet your expert local guide. Your first stop is the iconic Colosseum, a monument that has stood as a symbol of Rome for nearly two millennia. As you step into this ancient amphitheater, you will sense the echoes of gladiatorial contests and imperial spectacles that once entertained thousands.

Your guide will bring to life the stories of this remarkable structure, from its innovative construction to the brutal entertainment it hosted. Learn about the complex social hierarchy reflected in the seating arrangements and the political significance of the games held here. You will gain insights into Roman society, imperial power, and the daily lives of ancient Romans, from slaves to emperors.

From the Colosseum, continue to the Roman Forum, the heart of ancient Roman life. As you walk among the ruins of temples, government buildings, and public spaces, your guide will paint a vivid picture of daily life in the capital of the Roman Empire. You will be able to stand in the spot where famous orators like Cicero delivered speeches, see the remains of the Temple of Julius Caesar, and walk along the Via Sacra, the main street of ancient Rome.

The tour concludes at the Roman Forum, leaving you in the heart of ancient Rome. From here, you are free to continue exploring the area independently, perhaps visiting the nearby Palatine Hill, or making your way back to your accommodation.
