Skip-the-Line Colosseum Tour
Enter the Roman Colosseum, also nicknamed the Flavian Amphitheater, with skip-the-line access to avoid the crowds of tourists waiting to enter. Your expert guide will set the scene for what it felt like to attend the thrilling events that took place inside of the Colosseum from gladiator fights to public executions.
This tour takes you to the first and second tiers of the Colosseum—areas reserved for seating Rome’s most elite classes during the Colosseum’s gladiator games. Your guide will enlighten you with intriguing stories of some of the Colosseum’s most gruesome events.
Guided Tour of Palatine Hill
Follow your guide to the site that’s said to be where Romulus founded the city of Rome in 753 BC. Palatine Hill is the best stop to learn about the lifestyle of the rich and famous Romans. For instance, the Palace of Domitian even had its own amphitheater inside of the property.
Ancient Roman Forum
Explore the ruins that made up ancient Rome’s downtown area. As a political and social hub of the city, this is where Rome’s most important decisions were made. Trace the footsteps of Julius Caesar and visit popular sites such as the Arch of Titus and Senate House.
Capitoline Hill
Also known as Campidoglio, Capitoline Hill is one of the seven hills of Rome. In the center of the piazza, you will find Palazzo Senatorio, Rome’s city hall. You’ll get to look out over the views of the Roman Forum and capture the essence of ancient Rome.
Trevi Fountain
Check out the most famous fountain in Rome and possibly the world. Depicting the Greek god Oceanus, this fountain portrays the changing tides of the ocean. If you toss a coin into the fountain over your left shoulder with your right hand, it's believed that you'll be certain to return to the Eternal City.
Gelato Stop
Even though you’re seeing Rome’s best sites, all of this walking might wear you out, so you'll appreciate the stop for gelato to keep you fueled during your walking tour. We’ll stop at one of our local favorites before heading to our next stop.
Pantheon
Known as the most well-preserved ancient Roman building, the Pantheon exemplifies classic Greek architecture. You’ll notice how many buildings have been modeled after this classic architecture, such as the US Capitol and the Jefferson Memorial. Previously used as a temple that housed classic art pieces, the Pantheon is now considered a church.
Piazza Navona
Finish your tour off in the beautiful Piazza Navona, one of Rome’s most popular squares and home to numerous bars and restaurants. The piazza was actually built on top of the Stadium of Domitian, one of ancient Rome’s most popular arenas, aside from the Colosseum. In the center of the piazza, you’ll notice a large Egyptian Obelisk with characters that mention Emperor Domitian.

My colleague and I enjoyed a private tour with YaYa visiting Piazza di Navone, the Pantheon and other historical sites before meeting the second tour leader for the Privileged Colosseum tour. Both very informative, helped bring history alive and strict covid protocols adhered to making us feel very safe from a health point of view, highly recommend them.
Excellent tour!!

Highly recommend! We had a personal experience through the Collesio, including all the history and a walking tour all over the city center. It was amazing to experience all the history of Roma with someone who knew it all and had pictures to show us what it used to look like. HIGHLY recommend!
