Explore The Best Of Rome In A Day

Our full-day Rome walking tour is perfect for those who only have a short stay and want to see the very best of Rome. Explore the history of the Roman Empire on a Colosseum tour before racing back to the future on an adventure through this picturesque city, experiencing it as it is today on our popular Best of Rome Walking Tour.

We’ll kick-start our day with Skip the Line Access to the Colosseum, passing the long queues and entering instantly. Your expert guide will lead you to the best vantage points inside the Colosseum, telling you stories and pointing out the details that bring this magnificent arena to life.

Discover the once Bustling Heart of The Empire

Our tour through Ancient Rome continues on to the Forum. Once the heart of the Empire's political power, this was where Romans from all walks of life participated in the incredible exploits that made the civilization so remarkable. Following that, we'll travel on to the Palatine Hill – the spot where it all started. Legend has it that this is where Romulus and Remus were raised by their wolf mother and where Romulus founded the glorious city that we now call Rome. It’s also home to the city’s oldest ruins as well as the best views.

Next, we’ll take a well-deserved lunch break in the historic center of the city. Your guide will recommend a spot or you can try one of the trattorias or pizzerias around the area. Soak up the atmosphere before the next leg of our tour, a journey through the best of modern Rome.

The Sites that Make Rome

We’ll then wander the streets of Rome, seeing the most famous sights, such as the Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon, and Piazza Navona. These sights will be brought to life with the stories and myths that make Rome unlike any other city in the world. Your guide will lead you on a trek that takes in the length and breadth of Rome’s historic center.
