Overview

Guidekin summary

The budget door into the Colosseum: from €18 per person you pay little more than the ticket itself with the audio guide option, and the live guide tier adds a real guide and headsets for not much more. The reservation fee is covered. Transfers are not, and security refuses large backpacks and aerosols.

From the guide

Rome is filled with Ancient ruins and the remnants of the past. This tour is the perfect way to visit the three most important sites and learn about the times in which they were built and used.

The Colosseum is probably one of the most recognized monuments and is included on the New 7Wonders of the World list. Innumerable Roman citizens walked through the arches and corridors of the famous amphitheater, and now you will do the same, as a captivating guide reveals all the secrets of the landmark’s past.

Next to the Colosseum are the Forum and Palatine Hill. Here you will discover the religious, social, and political center of the Ancient city, still filled with the remains of temples, homes, palaces, and even the abode of the Vestal Virgins. With your guide to navigate you through the tumultuous history of these areas, this will be an experience you won’t forget.

Itinerary

Colosseum Stop 1
Your reserved slot takes you straight to the security check and inside, onto the first and second tiers. From the walkway you look down into the hypogeum, the two-level basement of tunnels and lifts that pushed animals and gladiators up into the arena, and out across seating built to hold roughly 50,000 people in a stadium that could empty in minutes. Your guide covers how the games were staged, funded and eventually abandoned.
45 min
Admission included
Arch of Constantine Stop 2
On the way out you pass beneath the largest triumphal arch left standing in Rome, 21 metres high and raised in AD 315 for Constantine's victory at the Milvian Bridge. Look closely at the sculpture: much of it was stripped from earlier monuments to Trajan, Hadrian and Marcus Aurelius, with the old emperors' faces recut into Constantine's.
Pass by
Arco di Tito Stop 3
At the top of the Via Sacra stands the arch Domitian raised to his brother Titus in AD 81. Inside the passage, one relief shows the spoils of Jerusalem carried in triumph through Rome — the seven-branched menorah taken from the Temple in AD 70, and one of the few surviving Roman images of it.
Pass by
Palatine Hill Stop 4
The last climb takes you up to where Augustus, Domitian and their successors built their palaces — the hill that gave every European language its word for "palace". You walk through the ruins of the Domus Augustana and along the sunken Stadium of Domitian, ending at the terrace above the Circus Maximus with the Forum, Piazza Venezia and the Colosseum laid out below.
1h
Admission included
Roman Forum Stop 5
You walk down the Via Sacra into the Forum itself, along the route triumphal processions took. Your guide picks out what the ruins were: the Curia where the Senate met, the eight surviving columns of the Temple of Saturn that held the treasury, the round temple where the Vestals kept the fire lit, and the spot where Caesar was cremated, still marked with flowers.
