What to expect
Your guide will meet you and manage transport between sites, keeping the day unhurried. Expect to spend time on foot at each location—the Colosseum requires climbing, the Forum is uneven, and basilicas involve standing. Summer heat and crowds are real; go early if possible. St. Peter's has a dress code (covered shoulders and knees). You'll see why Romans treated these places as daily backdrops, not just postcards. Entrance fees are separate, so budget accordingly.
Good to know
Bring water and comfortable walking shoes. Wheelchairs, prams, and infant seats are available. The tour suits all fitness levels, though uneven surfaces and stairs exist. Tickets aren't included—book ahead online to skip queues.
