Guided walking tours in the city of Rome

The Colosseum is of course a must see for the first time visitor, but your ticket also includes admission to the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill.

The Palatine Hill is a long walk but you are rewarded with a birds eye view/photo opportunity of the Roman Forum and Colosseum below.

Taking a walking tour with an expert guide with headphones and fast track entrance tickets provided is an efficient and cost effective way of covering the Colosseum, Palatine Hill & Roman Forum in one morning.

Increasingly popular are the tours which enter the special access sections of the Colosseum - underground chambers, arena and upper tiers. Many tours, including this one below, feature upgrades to the basic tour, should you wish to deepen your Colosseum experience.
