Departure Point
L.go Gaetana Agnesi, 00184 Roma RM, Italy
Meet your guide at Largo Gaetana Agnesi, on the little square above the metro line B (blue line) stop "Colosseo". Your guide coordinator will be waiting here wearing a blue City Wonders polo shirt or jacket for easy recognition.
Colosseum, Rome, Italy Your journey into antiquity begins with the Colosseum, one of the world’s most iconic sights. Your guide will call on their historical and archaeological expertise to tell you all about the battles, both physical and political, that played out in this incredible amphitheater. You might be surprised to learn that ‘Gladiator’ didn’t get everything right and that feats of ancient engineering even allowed the Romans to re-enact naval battles here. 90 minutes
Palatine Hill, Rome, Italy The next stop takes you back to the very beginning. The Palatine Hill is the spot Romulus chose to found the city that would become Rome in 753 BC – a decision that ended in tragedy for his brother Remus. Here, steeped in history, you’ll enjoy spectacular views overlooking your next destination: the Roman Forum. 60 minutes
Roman Forum, Rome, Italy The Forum and the Via Sacra, the Sacred Way, were the heart of Ancient Rome. All of Roman life could be found in this bustling marketplace: commerce and trade, political rallies, military parades, and the sacred ceremonies of the Vestal Virgins.
In just three hours, you’ll experience all that allowed Rome to endure so long – staying immersed in history the entire time, without wasting a moment waiting in line.

It was good as you didn’t have to Que up but the waiting around was quite a long time, I would make sure these are booked well in advance before you go. We booked on the day and had to wait 5 hours which wasn’t great obviously - but a fabulous experience nonetheless

Chiara made the experience so memorable; fun as well as educational! Her passion for art history inspires you to listen and observe so much more than being on your own. The 5 hours passed so quickly and left us wanting more. We were so lucky to have her as our guide!
