Step back into the hustle and bustle of Ancient Rome on this small group tour of the Colosseum, Palatine Hill, and the Roman Forum. Beat the crowds and the heat with skip-the-line entry to some of Rome’s most popular sights.
Start your tour at the Colosseum and fully explore the arena where gladiators and animals fought to the death for the entertainment of bloodthirsty Roman citizens and emperors. Your guide will tell you fascinating stories about these events and debunk some popular myths along the way.
See Palatine Hill, which was home to the wealthiest of Rome’s noble citizens during the time of the Republic, and later, exclusively the emperor. Today, you can still see remains of some of the imperial palace’s former splendor.
Stroll through the Roman Forum, where Romans lived out their daily lives. Here, politics, business, state funerals and military parades all took center stage. See the wall on which famous orators such as Cicero made their speeches.

Review of: Skip the Lines Vatican Tour: Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel & St Peter’s Basilica
“So glad we took the skip the line tour. Not only did we go right into the tour and skip the long lines), but our tour guide Andrea (spelling?) was very knowledgable and made our tour very enjoyable. It was awesome to be in the presence of such history and to learn the special back stories. I would do this again!”
Review of: Skip the Line Ancient Rome and Colosseum Underground Tour
“We were so excited (and not disappointed) to see the Colosseum, underground included, but were so impressed by the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill portions of this tour ... absolutely stunning! You know you are going to get a history lesson on a tour like this but it was more than a lesson ... it was a history experience.”
