Rome Highlights Tour: Colosseum, Roman Forum and Historic Center

Your Rome highlights tour starts in front of the Colosseum where you'll meet your expert guide and small group of no more than 15 people. Skip the long lines and enjoy a full Colosseum tour of the first and second tiers where you'll hear the story of this iconic building and debunk many of the myths that you have heard in the past.

Next, you’ll visit one of Rome’s biggest and most impressive ruins on a guided Roman Forum tour. Head past the line and straight into the sprawling, active archeological site where your guide will bring the stones to life with stories, facts, myths and legends from over 2,000 years of history.

You'll spend the second half of your Rome highlights tour walking through the city's historic center. Beginning in the spellbinding Piazza Navona, you'll learn the history of the famous Fountain of the Four Rivers, then head over to the Pantheon to step inside one of the most hallowed and influential buildings in the world. After admiring its enormous dome (which has never been replicated), we'll take you to one of our favorite gelaterias for some delicious gelato. Then you’ll stroll to the Trevi Fountain to learn how many coins you should really be throwing into the water. Finally, your Rome city tour ends at the base of the Spanish Steps where your guide will furnish you with plenty of recommendations for the remainder of your stay.

This Rome Highlights Tour combines a leisurely walking tour of Rome’s Centro Storico with the main highlights of the Colosseum and Roman Forum, so you can experience everything the city has to offer in just four hours.
