Choosing to visit the Colosseum and the Roman Forum accompanied by an expert and certified guide allows you to better appreciate the ruins of ancient Rome. The tour starts from the Roman Forum and ends after the visit to the Colosseum.
Having a guide by your side is particularly useful when visiting the Roman Forum , which is the first stop on this tour. The Roman Forum, in fact, is an archaeological park consisting of a large number of remains of monuments belonging to different eras, from the royal period, to the republican period, to the imperial one.
