Overview
You have the option of scheduling a pick-up from your hotel or meeting your guide at the Colosseum. During the tour, you will explore the Colosseum and discover why it was built, how it got its name, and the role it played in the city's life. Your guide will educate you on the gladiators who traveled from across the empire to perform here, showing you where they trained and the various kinds of battles that occurred. You'll be surprised at how many new facts you'll learn and how some of the things you thought you knew about the Romans were simply not true!
The walk through the Forum is a wonder, no matter your age. You'll find yourself jumping through history, starting at the 4th-century Arch of Constantine and then traveling back in time as you move to the lower ground and explore the temples of the Roman Republic. You'll discover all about these magnificent structures as well as the daily lives of the citizens who came here to vote, shop, attend trials, listen to great speeches, celebrate victories, and honor the gods.
The final stop of the tour will be the Palatine Hill and the ruins of the emperors' palaces. The first emperor, Augustus, chose to live here on the spot where Romulus and Remus were supposedly raised by a wolf. From that time on, all emperors built their palaces here, where they could look down on the people in the Forum, gaze across to the nearby Temple of Jupiter on the Capitol Hill, and enjoy the chariot races in the Circus Maximus without having to mingle with the plebeians!
