Why Travelers Choose This Tour
Your day of sightseeing starts near the Colosseum, where you’ll meet your guide and take a walk up Oppian Hill for a view of the amphitheater, perhaps Rome’s most iconic symbol. Then walk back down and enter the Colosseum with your skip-the-line ticket, allowing you to jump the main entrance queue and go straight inside. Explore the first two levels of the arena, listening to brutal stories about the gladiator battles and other bloody events that once took place here.
Exiting the Colosseum, walk over to the Roman Forum, stopping by the Arch of Constantine on the way. Then walk up Palatine Hill for more views of the ruins before your 3-hour tour ends on Via Sacra, the street that connects Capitoline Hill to the Colosseum.
At this point, you have about two hours of free time to get some lunch and explore on your own before the second part of your Super Saver begins (lunch is at your own expense).
Best of Rome Walking Tour
In the afternoon, your 2.5-hour walking tour starts at Piazza di Spagna, where you’ll meet your guide and set off around Rome’s historical center. Admire the famous Spanish Steps, which lead up to the Trinita dei Monti church, and then walk to the Trevi Fountain, perhaps Rome’s most famous fountain, known for its legend that states if you throw a coin in the water, you will return to Rome someday.
Continue to the square that ancient Romans considered to be the center of the city, Piazza Colonna, and then visit the stately Pantheon. Walk through lively Piazza Navona, where street artists show off their talents and visitors mingle around the baroque fountains.

Viator Traveler's Reviews
This excursion around some of Rome's most famous landmarks is the perfect way to experience them all in one day. In the morning we were given a guided tour around the iconic Colosseum and learnt much about its long history. The tour then took us further into Rome around the Constantine, the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill. A lot of walking involved but an ideal way to learn about the history of this beautiful city. The afternoon part of the tour was around other famous locations such as the Trevi Fountain and The Spanish Steps. This was the best part of the tour as it really took us through the hustle and bustle of city life in Rome and the guide was fun to listen to and very knowledgeable. Overall this is a must-do tour if you are visiting Rome!
We had such a great tour experience with Amanda as our guide. Her passion and knowledge for the Colosseum and The Roman Forum were unmatched, so much that we didn't want the afternoon to end! The only line we really had to wait was for security, but there was no bypassing that. Once inside she did a fantastic job navigating us through the features and crowds, peppering in historical bits and keeping things interesting while giving us plenty of time to explore and look around too before moving on to the ruins of the Forum. Great sense of humor, vast knowledge, friendly and welcoming, we'd book another tour with her in a heartbeat! Thanks Amanda!
The Rome Super Saver tour lived up to its description. The morning tour of the Colosseum and Ancient Rome was very entertaining and informative. Our guide was very knowledgeable of the history of the sites and how to get through the crowds for the best views. In the afternoon we took the Walking Tour and it was just a great as the morning, with a different guide.
It was our understanding that this tour was an 8 hour tour. Actually, it was two 3 hour tours by two different tour guides and in two totally different locations of the city that we had to try to find on own own.1) The morning tour by a very pleasant, knowledgeable and caring young female tour guide, Julia, was a well organized walking tour which was quite enjoyable. We had to meet in front of the Coliseum by 9:45 am. Some people arrived by taxi. We chose to travel there by means of the Metro system from our hotel. It was somewhat of a challenge getting there, but we made it. We visited the outside and inside of the Roman Coliseum and the Roman Forum and Palatino. All in all, it was an enjoyable tour in which we learned a great deal about those two historical sites. And Julia's English was very easy to understand.2) For the afternoon tour, we had to travel to the Piazza di Spagna and meet up with our tour guide, Massimo. He was quite knowledgeable and had a good personality, but there was a lot of walking from the Piazza di Spagna to the Pantheon and beyond. My three complaints about this tour were 1) we had to travel to the Piazza di Spagna instead of being picked up at our hotel, 2) there was too much walking and when the tour was over, we were quite far from where we began and had to try our best to get back to our hotel on our own. It was a very long, confusing walk back to the Piazza di Spagna where we were able to catch the Metro. 3) We were quite disappointed that at least three people in our tour group continued to smoke throughout the tour, and our tour guide didn't say anything. They were chain smokers. I certainly would not recommend this tour for those who don't want to inhale second hand smoke. If we had known that, we certainly would not have booked this tour.
Our first time to Rome!
Our colosseum guide was so knowledgeable and made our tour so enjoyable with facts we were eager to learn! Was a very gracious tour guide.
Our afternoon guide, she was patient and stuck with her group, even with an hour delay with torrential storms. Can not thank you enough, we made it fun, shoe shopping on our wait!
Recommend this tour!
This was a great tour and our tour guide Laura made it even better. Her knowledge of Roman history is remarkable and she was able to answer all of our questions (and we had lots). Skip the line is a must, especially if you are visiting in the summer. The heat is brutal and there is a lot of walking so be sure to stay hydrated, Unfortunately, we missed the second half of the tour because we didn't realize that the meeting point required two separate train rides and the tour left by the time we got there.
