Rome's Colosseum and Imperial Forum
Skip the crowds and step into ancient Rome on this immersive 6.5-hour excursion from Civitavecchia. Enjoy comfortable round-trip transportation from the port, accompanied by a professional driver and an expert licensed guide who brings the city's history to life. This experience includes audio headsets for clear commentary and skip-the-line access to both the Colosseum and Roman Forum, allowing you to head directly to the security entrance. An optional fixed-menu lunch at a local restaurant is available upon request, though lunch and gratuities are not included.
Your journey begins with a scenic transfer from the port to your meeting point, where you'll be introduced to your guide and the day's itinerary. From there, make your way to the iconic Colosseum, the largest amphitheater ever built. While skip-the-line access allows you to bypass long ticket queues, please note that a short wait at the security checkpoint may still be required.
