About this tour
Explore Rome's most significant ancient sites with a self-guided audio app covering the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill over three hours. You control the pace entirely—linger at structures that captivate you, photograph freely, and unlock stories tied to each location without a tour group or schedule dictating your movements. The app delivers context as you wander through layers of imperial history, from gladiatorial arenas to temple foundations.

What to expect
You'll receive the audio app before arrival and meet a host at the starting point who confirms access details. From there, you're autonomous. The Colosseum opens first—descend into the arena level, then move through upper tiers as the app narrates its construction and use. The Forum sprawls across the valley floor; expect to move between ruined temples, basilicas, and ceremonial spaces while the guide contextualises each. Palatine Hill sits above, offering views and domestic structures of emperors. Restoration work may affect access to certain sections owing to jubilee preparations.
Good to know
Bring water and sun protection—shade is limited. The app works on your phone; download before arrival if connectivity is uncertain. No food is provided; cafés exist outside the sites. Prams and strollers are permitted. Check for any updates regarding monument closures before your visit.
