Itinerary
The driver will arrive at your hotel at the scheduled time to pick you up in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. After a short drive through the historic streets of Rome, you will arrive at the Colosseum, where you will meet your knowledgeable guide.
The Colosseum, or Flavian Amphitheatre, is the largest ancient amphitheater and a symbol of Imperial Rome. Built between 70 and 80 AD, it hosted gladiatorial contests, animal hunts, and executions, accommodating 50,000 to 80,000 spectators based on social rank. Made of travertine limestone, this four-story elliptical structure features a complex system of vaults and arches.
Duration: 60 minutes
The guide will provide a detailed account of the Roman Forum's exterior, highlighting the impressive remains visible from the outside. The Colosseum tickets give access to the Roman Forum within 24 hours; please ask the guide. After this Ancient Rome tour, you will fully understand Ancient Roman life.
Duration: 30 minutes
You will start a guided tour with the Trevi Fountain, a secretive masterpiece, and perhaps the most spectacular fountain in Rome. Built at the end of one of the famed aqueducts that supplied the Roman Empire with water, this iconic setting attracts many visitors. Toss a coin into its waters to ensure a safe return to Rome at some stage in the future.

Not included in the MINI WOW Tour. A true masterpiece to admire on your tour of Rome: The Pantheon. Immaculately preserved and seemingly only a few centuries old, it's hard to believe the structure was completed in AD 128 by Emperor Hadrian. In the square in front - a gathering place for locals – discover a decorative 16th-century fountain sitting beneath the Egyptian obelisk. Kindly note that the line may be too long due to the metal detector, and the visit is from outside.
