Itinerary
The Colosseum, also known as the Flavian Amphitheater, is an oval magnificent architecture in the center of Rome. Built of travertine, tuff and brick-faced concrete. It is the largest construction ever build in ancient Rome. It is situated just east of the Roman Forum. Emperor Vespasian began the construction in 72 AD and was completed in 80 AD by its successor Titus.
The roman Forum also known Forum Romanum is a plaza surrounded by the ruins of several important ancient Rome governments buildings at the center of the city. Originally a marketplace, the citizens of the ancient city referred to this place as the Forum Magnum. Dive yourself in the ancient culture to learn the way of life Rome’s predecessors lived.
The Palatine Hill is the only hill from the Seven Hills of Rome situated in the center of Rome. It is the most ancient place of the city, 40 meters above the Roman Forum, looking down upon the Circus Maximus. Augustus Imperial palaces were built here.

Traveler reviews
Top guide and great guidance.
A highlight of our visit to Rome. Our guide Berk was great. Lively, told exciting stories, with background information and diagrams. Very pleasant and clear voice. For me one of the best tours I've had. A real highlight. Absolutely recommended.
Only Way To Go! Small Group Guided Tour of the Roman Colissuem.
This is a well worth it experience to not only skip the general admission line, but also to be guided in a small group environment. Our tour guide was an expert on the historical relevance of the Forum and he brought to life the activities of the gladiators and Roman crowds who cheered on their favorites. We were in awe the entire time!
Nice guide but difficult to hear her.
The archeological places on the grounds around the outside of coliseum. Guide was nice but talked really fast and difficult to understand. Audio system was very poor. Was very very crowded in coliseum.
Informative Roman Tour
We had two tour guides Tiziana Fiori and I think I remember his name, Mossimo. They were both informative and interesting and at times entertaining. Being sure to keep us safe and in the shade. Thank you.
Worst tour we have ever been on
Our guide was American from California and didn’t give us cohesive history information- it was hard to hear him and we were out in a separate group from our friends which was completely irritating We flew all the way to Rome and our experience with this tour was terrible. Our guide walked so fast and it was so crowded that we lost him at least 4,5 times and had to spend time trying to find him and keep up. Our friends had a much better guide and got so much more out of their tour. We ended up leaving the tour 3/4 way thru because it was so awful. This was our first Viator tour and most likely our last. We learned nothing what so ever from it And it was $140 We asked for a refund and only got 1/2 put money back
