What to expect

Step into the heart of Ancient Rome with a guided tour of the Roman Forum and Colosseum, and uncover the stories that shaped an empire.

Begin at the Roman Forum, once the political, religious, and social centre of Roman life. Walk along ancient pathways where senators debated, temples were erected, and historic speeches influenced the destiny of the Republic and the Empire. Admire the remains of basilicas, triumphal arches, and sacred temples while gaining insight into daily life in Ancient Rome.

Continue to the Colosseum and explore the monument from a unique perspective — the imperial viewing terraces. Stand where emperors once sat and enjoy an elevated panoramic view over the amphitheatre, experiencing the spectacle as Rome's elite once did.

Learn how gladiators fought for glory, discover the engineering brilliance behind the structure, and understand the political power of public entertainment in ancient times.
