What to expect
You'll start at the Colosseum, where your guide unlocks context about gladiator combat and crowd capacity. Moving through the Forum, expect uneven ground and partial structures—bring water and sturdy shoes. The Pantheon's interior is cooler and more sheltered; its dome's open eye floods the floor with light. You'll pass major piazzas on foot, stopping where your guide gauges interest. Walking covers roughly 3–4 kilometres across central Rome's cobblestones. The pace is leisurely enough for most fitness levels, though hills and stairs appear throughout.
Good to know
Bring all travellers' full names exactly as they appear on valid ID—the ticket office checks this rigorously and won't admit mismatched vouchers. Wear comfortable walking shoes; Rome's ancient streets are unforgiving. Public transport gets you to starting points; the tour itself is on foot. No meals included.
