What to expect
Your guide will meet you and lead a steady pace through the Colosseum's accessible pathways, explaining the building's engineering and the spectacles that once filled its seats. You'll descend to see the subterranean level where animals and stage machinery emerged. From there, you'll cross into the Forum to wander amongst temples and civic buildings, then climb gently to the Palatine Hill to glimpse where emperors lived. Prams and strollers are welcome on all routes. The tour moves at a conversational speed—expect to pause often for stories and questions.
