Overview

Guidekin summary

A private walk through the archaeological park with a guide to yourself, from the Colosseum steps to the emperors' palace on the Palatine, in depth rather than in a hurry. Entry ticket, reservation fee and taxes are included at €339 per person, transport and food are not. Uneven, unpaved ground throughout.

From the guide

Enjoy an in-depth experience in the Ancient City and get the know the stories behind the world famous ruins in the Roman Forum, the Palace of the Emperors on the Palatine Hill and Rome's most iconic site, the Colosseum. Nothing compares to the experience of climbing the steps of the Colosseum, exploring the cobbled streets of the Roman Forum, or admiring the stunning views of Rome from the top of the Palatine Hill. For anyone interested in history or culture, a private walk through the archaeological sites of Ancient Rome is an unforgettable experience. Our guided tour will allow you to make sense of this labyrinth of arches, columns and temples: as you explore the most important sites of the ancient city with your expert guide, the pieces of the puzzle will come together - allowing you to see Rome through the eyes of the Romans. This 3 hour itinerary has been specially designed for visitors with limited time in Rome, perfect if you’ve got a plane to catch!
