Step by Step

Forget dull, scripted tours. This 3‑hour guided walk drops you straight into the heart of ancient Rome, so you don’t just learn history—you live it.

Your expert guide brings every stone and story to life as you explore three icons of the Eternal City:

Colosseum Step inside the arena where courage, fear and fame played out in front of roaring crowds. Forget reading plaques—your guide’s stories put you right on the sand with the gladiators. You don’t need a selfie to prove you were here… but you’ll probably take a few anyway.

Roman Forum Walk through the political and commercial center of the empire. This is where Rome’s power players argued over laws, closed deals and shaped history—while everyday Romans shopped for bread, spices and fabrics in the busiest market around.

Palatine Hill According to legend, this is where Romulus founded Rome. Wander between pine trees and ruins, take in sweeping views over the city and feel how a myth grew into an empire.

Why this tour? Because it’s not about memorizing dates—it’s about feeling Rome under your feet and in your story.

Lace up your comfiest shoes. Rome is waiting.
