Your journey into ancient Rome begins at the Colosseum, one
Your journey into ancient Rome begins at the Colosseum, one of the world’s most iconic landmarks. With your expert guide, you’ll learn the true history behind this extraordinary amphitheater—its political intrigues, its real gladiatorial battles, and the engineering genius that made it possible. You’ll discover what the movie Gladiator got wrong and explore how the Romans once staged full naval battles right here, flooding the arena to recreate dramatic sea combats. Your guide will also explain the daily life of gladiators, their social role, and how the Colosseum served as a powerful tool of entertainment and imperial propaganda. Visiting the Colosseum is not just seeing an ancient monument—it’s stepping into a living piece of history, where every stone reveals the power, ambition, and imagination of Rome.

Your next stop takes you back to the very beginnings of Rome
Your next stop takes you back to the very beginnings of Rome. The Palatine Hill is known as the place where Romulus founded the city in 753 BC, a legendary decision that ended in tragedy for his twin brother, Remus. As you explore this ancient hill, your guide will bring these early stories to life, explaining how myth and history came together to shape the identity of Rome. Walking among the remains of imperial palaces and aristocratic residences, you’ll get a sense of how important this hill once was—not only as the mythical birthplace of the city, but as the political and residential heart of the Roman elite. From the top of the Palatine, you’ll enjoy impressive views over your next destination: the Roman Forum. Seen from above, the Forum reveals its full scale and significance as the center of political, commercial, and social life in ancient Rome.
