Itinerary and highlights

Our guide will take the time to recount the stories of the gladiators – often not gladiators at all, but slaves and criminals with the bad luck to find themselves involved in a deadly public spectacle – and reveal more about the emperors who organised such bloody scenes in the first place.

Palatine Hill which overlooks the Forum and affords beautiful panoramic views of the ancient city. Don’t forget to bring your camera as from here you can admire not just the Forum and Colosseum from up high, but also Circus Maximus and the Aventine Hill.

Next up, we head to the Roman Forum - Ancient Rome’s beating heart.
