Your experience

In the morning, meet your guide and group at the square outside Santi Cosma and Damiano Basilica, located at Via dei Fori Imperiali 1 to start a 2.5-hour visit to the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill.

Entering the magnificent Colosseum with skip-the-line tickets, hear from your guide about its horrific and brutal history-including most famously the gladiatorial battles held within its walls.

Continue to learn about Ancient Rome as your guide brings to life the history of the ruins in Roman Forum and Palatine Hill.

There will be time between visits for you to grab lunch on your own so that you have enough energy for the rest of this afternoon's adventures.

At 3:00 pm after resting, you will go to the Vatican Museums and take advantage of your guide's deep knowledge about the famous artworks inside.

After that, you will enter the famous Sistine Chapel.
