What's included in Rome Colosseum & Forum Guided Tour in Eng or Spa–Group or Private
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Foro Romano
The Roman Forum, nestled in the low expanse between the Palatine and Capitoline hills, stands as the paramount forum of ancient Rome, its historical resonance echoing through the annals of time. In the republican era, this hallowed ground bore witness to the pulse of public life—hosting pivotal public meetings, functioning as the backdrop for legal proceedings, and serving as the arena for thrilling gladiatorial contests. The air was filled with the vibrant energy of commerce as the forum's perimeter bustled with shops and open-air markets, creating a dynamic hub at the heart of the city
Arch of Constantine
The Arch of Constantine stands as a grand testament to triumph and history, proudly holding the title of the largest among the three triumphal arches that endure in Rome. Soaring approximately 25 meters into the sky, this majestic arch graces the route frequently treaded by triumphant leaders, nestled between the sprawling Circus Maximus and the iconic Arch of Titus.
Colosseum
Embark on a captivating exploration of the past commencing at the Colosseum, a globally renowned landmark. Your guide, armed with profound historical and archaeological knowledge, will unravel the tales of both physical and political conflicts that unfolded within this extraordinary amphitheater. Prepare to be intrigued as you discover nuances missed by Hollywood's portrayal in 'Gladiator,' and marvel at the ancient engineering marvels that facilitated the reenactment of naval battles on this historic stage. The Arena Floor serves as the vibrant canvas upon which the dramatic spectacle of ancient Rome unfolded, where the clash of beasts and gladiators captivated and enthralled the vast crowds. Originally, the arena floor comprised an immense wooden platform, positioned atop the intricate network of masonry corridors that we marvel at today. It's here that the blueprint for our modern arenas was first conceived, laying the foundation for the grand sporting and entertainment venues
