Once inside, journey back to the days of the Roman Empire with a professional licensed guide as you walk the very paths once taken by Roman citizens and emperors. Explore the ruins of ancient temples and visit the legendary Palatine Hill, where the story of Romulus and Remus marks the origins of the city. Discover how this majestic hill later became the beating heart of Ancient Rome while enjoying breathtaking views over the Colosseum and Circus Maximus. Marvel at the brilliance of ancient architects and engineers, learning about the groundbreaking techniques and innovations used to construct these monumental structures. Uncover the political and social forces behind their creation, and listen to gripping stories of the spectacular—and often brutal—games that once echoed through their walls.
