Roman Forum, Rome, Italy It is a rectangular forum surrounded by the ruins of several important ancient government buildings at the center of the city of Rome. Citizens of the ancient city referred to this space, originally a marketplace, as the Forum Magnum, or simply the Forum. 60 minutes
Tempio di Romolo, Rome, Italy It is another rare example of a well-preserved Roman monument. It's intact because it was turned into the entrance to the Church of Saints Cosma and Damiano, still functioning today
Casa delle Vestali, Rome, Italy It was the residence of Vestal Virgins, located behind the circular Temple of Vesta at the eastern edge of the Roman Forum, between the Regia and the Palatine Hill. The domus publica, where the Pontifex Maximus dwelled, was located near the Atrium until that role was assumed by the emperors. 10 minutes
Tempio di Saturno, Rome, Italy Its ruins stand at the foot of the Capitoline Hill at the western end of the Roman Forum. The original dedication of the temple is traditionally dated to 497 BC, but ancient writers disagreed greatly about the history of this site.
Basilica of Maxentius, Rome, Italy It is an ancient building in the Roman Forum. It was the largest building in the Forum, and the last Roman basilica built in the city. 10 minutes
Basilica Julia, Rome, Italy It was a structure that once stood in the Roman Forum. It was a large, ornate, public building used for meetings and other official business during the Roman Empire. 10 minutes
Palatine Hill, Rome, Italy It is one of the most ancient parts of the city and has been called "the first nucleus of the Roman Empire." The site is now mainly a large open-air museum while the Palatine Museum houses many finds from the excavations here and from other ancient Italian sites. 30 minutes
Piazza del Colosseo, Rome, Italy It is a square in the center of Rome between Via dei Fori Imperiali and Via Claudia. It is located on the border of rione Monti, Campitelli and Celio districts. The square can be reached from the Colosseo Metro Station on the B line of the Rome Metro. 5 minutes
Arch of Constantine, Rome, Italy Built in 315AD and noted by its triple arches, this structure commemorates Constantine's victory over Maxentuis.
Colosseum, Rome, Italy Perhaps the best-preserved of the monuments of ancient Rome, this huge marble structure was built to hold more than 50,000 spectators to witness bloody contests of might and the slaughter of wild beasts. 60 minutes

Our guide, John Tinto, is such an amazingly wonderful person who is brimming over with knowledge, but as a bonus, the way he presents the information is delightful, engaging, and enlightening. He lead our tour with much consideration for each person’s needs and interests and is very genuine in his kindness. It was so fun to wander the Roman Forum and Colosseum with his words breathing life into it all!

This tour was an absolute highlight of our trip to Rome (and definitely in our top 3 experiences in all of Italy). Our guide, John T, was fantastic. We toured with him for over 3 hours. He was unbelievably knowledgeable. He was also very friendly and accommodating to the needs of the group. We learned so much as he made history come alive. I highly recommend this tour, and especially John.
