Ancient Rome

Discover the enduring quality of the Eternal City with our personalized walking tour of Ancient Rome.

No trip to this magnificent city would be complete without a visit to these ancient wonders. Your customizable itinerary can range from three to four hours with the option to visit a combination of the below landmarks led by our Roman expert guides. 

In our classic version of this tour, we will begin at Rome’s most recognizable monument: The Colosseum! This massive elliptical amphitheatre housed wild beast fights and gladiator games for crowds of up to fifty thousand. The walk continues into the powerful open space of the Roman Forum where you’ll wander amongst the triumphal arches, temples and remains that represent what’s left of the immense history of Imperial Rome. 

From here, you have the option to extend the tour to four hours and include the tri-level Basilica di San Clemente showcasing centuries of history and art, or Palatine Hill, the centermost and oldest standing of the 7 hills of Rome where the Emperor and wealthy patrician families lived during the times of Caput Mundi. 

  • Colosseum
  • Ancient Roman Forum
  • Palatine Hill
  • Basilica di San Clemente

3 or 4 hours depending on your personalized  itinerary.

Comfortable shoes are recommended as the majority of walking will be done on cobblestones. During the summer months it is best to start early morning or late afternoon to beat the heat and crowds. Bring your own water bottle to fill up at Rome’s unique public fountains located throughout the tour.
