Hungry for history but short on time? We’ve cooked up something special for you with our Colosseum Walking Tour, a fast-track ticket to ancient Rome with no tickets, no queues, just pure history. In just 1.5 hours, we’ll follow in the footsteps of emperors and gladiators, uncovering the drama, architecture, and everyday life of the Roman Empire, all from the outside of its most famous landmarks.
We kick things off with a close-up look at the Colosseum. While we won’t be heading inside, your guide will serve up sizzling stories of gladiators, naval battles, and the architectural recipe behind this ancient amphitheatre. From there, we wander through the Forum of Augustus, where politics were served with a side of imperial propaganda, then on to Trajan’s Column, a towering monument of Roman conquest. We’ll also get a quick taste of Trajan’s Market, once the empire’s bustling commercial hub where retail therapy was always on the menu.
Then we’ll visit the Forum of Julius Caesar and admire the bold architecture before making our way to the Arch of Septimius Severus, a stunning tribute to military might. We’ll finish the tour at Capitoline Hill, the cherry on top of ancient Rome. Designed by Michelangelo and once sacred ground to Roman gods, it offers the perfect finale: a panoramic view of the Roman Forum, the true heart of ancient Rome. It’s here where religion, politics, and public life collided, and where the story of Rome really comes together.
This tour is ideal for travellers who want to maximise their time in Rome and see more, in less time. So what are you waiting for? Book now to feast on a hearty helping of the stories, secrets, and sights that seasoned the Eternal City, no lines, no tickets, just legendary history.
