This visit called Ancient Rome is a visit of the Colosseum, Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill, the 3 archaeological sites included in the entrance ticket.
This tour is really a leap back in time. We’ll take the Via Sacra (Sacred Road) like victorious Roman emperors to join the Roman forum, the ancient city-centre where religious and public life took place. We’ll visit the house of Vestal Virgins, the Temple of Caesar, the arch of Septimius Severus. the Basilica of Constantine and the arch of Titus. After that, we go up to the Palatine Hill, where we’ll discover the place where Romulus founded Rome over 2,700 years ago. I’ll tell you the true story of them and show you where they were breastfed by the she-wolf. Finally, we will enjoy the panoramic terrace to admire the most celebrated and breath-taking view over Rome. Its intense ochre colours will repay you for the effort of the uphill route.
But the true highlight of this visit is the icon of Rome, the building famous under the motto “bread and fun”, the big Flavian amphitheatre which changed its name into Colosseum. We will start the tour by there, I want you fresh and relaxed for that story. The colosseum was infect, the building raised up in 8 years for exhibitions of exotic animals, recreations of battles and gladiator fights and kept the Romans entertained for centuries. We’ll visit the ground floor and the 1st level. 1 hour 30’ of visit to say everything about it, its stories, its legends, the true and false about gladiators, games and fights.
Jamais tu ne pourras voir ville plus grande que Rome.

Your Reviews
Abbiamo visitato Colosseo e Foro Romano con la famiglia ed una amica danese. La visita è stata molto ben fatta, con spiegazioni dettagliate ma mai noiose che hanno trasmesso un senso di competenza e di grande passione. La commozione di Annalisa nel leggere alcuni passi di Marziale sull’arena del Colosseo ci ha fatto capire quanto ami la storia di questi luoghi e la sua professione. Si rimane facilmente affascinati dai monumenti e dalle rovine di Roma ma avere qualcuno che aiuta a leggerli e capirli, al di là degli stereotipi e delle semplificazioni che molti di noi hanno in mente, fa la differenza. Assolutamente consigliata.
