About this tour

Spend the tour walking through ancient Rome with a Spanish-speaking guide who leads you through the Colosseum, Palatine Hill, and the Roman Forum. You get timed entry to the Colosseum and headsets so you can hear your guide clearly, plus your choice of a small group of 15 or a semi-private group of 7. Stand where gladiators fought, look out over the Forum from Palatine Hill, and see landmarks like the Arch of Titus and the Senate House up close. Comfortable shoes are a good idea, since you'll cover a lot of uneven ground.

Good to Know: The Sites, Getting There, Hours & Dress

The Roman Forum sits in the historic center of Rome, right between the Colosseum and Palatine Hill, so all three sites are easy to combine on foot. Even in ruins, the Forum still shows off its ancient scale. The Temple of Saturn is one of its oldest structures, while the remains of the Basilica Julia and Basilica Aemilia mark where law and commerce once happened, and the Curia was the Senate House at the center of Roman politics. Climb Palatine Hill for wide views over the Forum and the city, and look for the Arch of Titus, built to celebrate Emperor Titus's victory in Jerusalem. Scattered temples, altars, and open public spaces fill in the rest.

Getting here is simple. By metro, take Line B to Colosseo or Line C to Colosseo-Fori Imperiali. Buses 51, 75, 85, 87, and 118 stop nearby, and tram line 3 is within walking distance. On foot, the Forum is an easy walk from Piazza Venezia, the Colosseum, and the Monti district. The Forum opens daily at 09:00, closing around 16:30 in winter and about 19:15 in summer, with last entry one hour before closing.

There's no strict dress code, but dress respectfully if you plan to visit any religious sites in the area. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes, since you'll be on your feet a lot, and in summer light, breathable fabrics work best.
