The tour begins at Trajan’s Column, where we will admire from the outside the impressive monuments of Emperor Trajan, including Trajan’s Market, before walking along Via dei Fori Imperiali.
The second stop is overlooking the Roman Forum, where you’ll enjoy a stunning view of ancient Rome from above. This was the heart of daily life in the Roman Empire, filled with public buildings, basilicas, and homes.
The third stop is the Monti district, one of Rome’s oldest neighborhoods, still lived in by locals. Here, you’ll experience the true atmosphere of old Rome.
The final and most anticipated stop is the Colosseum. After discovering the history of this iconic monument, your guide will provide instructions on how to purchase tickets for the Colosseum and the Roman Forum archaeological area. Tickets must be purchased independently by participants, and availability is limited due to daily capacity restrictions. For this reason, we cannot guarantee 100% ticket availability.
The tour was great. It was just me and another couple so almost private. I just signed up for the exterior tour since it was only 1 hour and all the other colosseum tours were more like 3 hours. The guide gave all the info I needed during the tour about the building and history. He was very passionate. He seemed genuinely excited about questions and was extremely knowledgeable.
A bit confusing around the pickup. No stated flag, no rep but a friend, with different company. Tour guide was an independent consultant but very knowledgeable with a near overwhelming amount of information.
We had an early morning walk starting at radiant column past some of forum to the colluseum. Our Guide Marco was fantastic, professional, friendly, welcoming , helpful and very knowledgeable. Thank you so very much Marco. Your pace of the tour was perfect. We were really lucky that it was private which made it extra special. Marco took some lovely photos of us too, and helped us with some of our tickets and orienting us for the rest of our day with some fantastic suggestions of other things to do in the area. Overall a wonderful ezperience

The tour guider were really good at showcasing the history and open for question
Great experience, the walk outside the Colosseum was relaxing and pleasant,
Without Marco we wouldn't have entered the Colosseum I recommend this experience especially to those who were not able to book the Colosseum online. Marco took us on a very interesting outdoor tour and at the end gave us all the information we needed to try to buy tickets on site. It was truly valuable for us.
Fantastic tour, perfect for anyone who wants to see Rome with a passionate local guide. Marco made everything very interesting, with clear and never boring explanations. A wonderful walk through history and Roman atmosphere.
A super positive experience. We had almost given up on entering the Colosseum because nothing was available online anymore, but at the end of the tour Marco explained everything with great honesty and precision. We managed to buy the tickets and we were so happy.
Beautiful walking tour! Marco was engaging, knowledgeable, and very friendly. He showed us the area from Trajan’s Column to the Colosseum in a light but very interesting way. Highly recommended.
A really useful and enjoyable experience. We could no longer find tickets for the Colosseum online, but at the end of the tour Marco clearly explained where and how to buy them. Thanks to him, we managed to get in!
We loved every minute of this tour. The itinerary from Trajan’s Column to the Colosseum is beautiful, but what made the difference was Marco! Amazing!!
This walking tour was one of the best experiences of our time in Rome. Marco was an outstanding guide: passionate, knowledgeable, and incredibly engaging
Marco was a very good guide!
Marco was very friendly and provided accurate information.
External tour of the Colosseum and Imperial Forums. The guide Marco a very courteous nice and prepared guy
Yesterday I had one of the best experiences with our tour, our guide Marco was very funny and kind to explain the history of the Colosseum, I was really delighted because at the end of this tour I was able to get the ticket to the Colosseum, if they ask me if it is worth it because I would definitely say yes.
Very good walking with logical and confident explanations, nice and pleasant guide
A fantastic tour! If you want to take a nice, non-demanding walk to learn about Rome’s history without costing your shirt or dragging on too long, this is right for you. Highly recommended!
It was my second time in Rome and my family and I were very happy with this tour. At first I was skeptical, it seemed strange that I could buy the ticket even if online they were finished. Instead at the end of the walking tour the guide explained how to easily buy tickets for the Colosseum At the official ticket office
I did a tour with Marco and he was excellent. I can only recommend him, partly because he speaks English so well; even my son could understand him and was immediately enthusiastic about the story.
Great service, competent and friendly guide, ultimately a very very positive experience!!
My dream was to see the Colosseum, but the tickets were sold out. I bought this guided tour, which took place outside the monuments, and it was interesting. Then, when Marco explained how to buy tickets to enter the Colosseum, the experience became unforgettable.
Marco gave us a fantastic tour in English; he introduced us to the Roman Empire and explained how to get the 18 euro ticket at the end of the tour.
My family and I were sad that we couldn’t find a ticket to the Coliseum and this was the only tour available. Thanks to Marco we took a walk in Via dei Fori Imperiali to the Colosseum and in addition to explaining the history of Rome he explained how to buy the ticket to enter. It turned our day!
