Rome is rich in history and architecture which is visible throughout the city. During this tour you will visit two of Rome's most popular sights: the Vatican and the Colosseum!
About the tour
The first part of the tour is a visit to the Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palatine. Discover how the Colosseum was a stage for gladiator fights, public executions, animal hunts, but also less bloody performances by acrobats and magicians. Next, your guide will lead you on a short walk to the Roman Forum, the center of Roman public life. Walk around and visualize how Roman life was and how the current ruins would have appeared thousands of years ago. Finally you walk to the Palatine, a hill with relics of the palaces and temples of the emperors who once lived there. From one side you have a view of the adjacent Roman Forum, where the 'ordinary' people lived, and from the other side you can admire the Circus Maximus, an ancient Roman chariot stadium and mass entertainment venue.
In the afternoon you will meet your guide at the Vatican. You start the afternoon by exploring the incredible galleries, such as the Candelabra Gallery, where you can see the magnificent collection of Roman sculptures, the Tapeatry Gallery and the Gallery of Maps. Off course you can also admire the breathtaking Sistine Chapel, the masterpiece of Michelangelo. Finally you enter the St. Peter's Basilica via a special entrance that is only used for tours like this one.
