What to expect
You'll be collected by private car and driven between Rome's flagship archaeological sites. Expect to spend considerable time on foot exploring the Colosseum's multi-level passages and the sprawling Roman Forum, where you'll examine former administrative and religious buildings. The Palatine Hill involves some climbing but rewards with sweeping views across the ancient city centre. Later stops at the Circus Maximus and Mouth of Truth are brief orientation points before finishing at Trevi Fountain and central piazzas. Moderate fitness helps; the pace is steady rather than rushed.
