    Full description

    Discover Rome at your own pace with a combined 24/48-hour ticket for a hop-on hop-off sightseeing bus, and a guided tour of the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill. Walk in the footsteps of Roman emperors and citizens on a tour of Ancient Rome, with skip-the line entrance to the Roman Forum. Walk along the Via Sacra and immerse yourself in Roman history. The main path through the Roman Forum, the Via Sacra once sparkled with festivals and triumphal processions.

    End at the Temple, which houses the altar where Julius Caesar was cremated. Visitors from around the world still leave flowers and candles at the site to this day.

    Before reaching the Colosseum, get a general overview of Palatine Hill where legend has it Romulus founded the city of Rome. The hill looks down over the Roman Forum and the Circus Maximus chariot-racing circuit.

    Once inside the Colosseum, your expert guide will teach you about the amphitheater's bloody past, with tales of gladiators, mock sea battles, and executions.

    After discovering the highlights of Imperial Rome, you can use your 24 or 48-hour ticket for the open top hop-on-hop-off sightseeing bus to discover more of the city in a convenient way.

    Difficult to find visitor centers

    While the skip the line ticket worked very well for St. Peter's Basilica, it didn't work at all for the Colosseum. Had to find the ticket exchange counter at the Roman Forum first - then we went in there and got tickets for the Colosseum at 12pm. When we were there, we would have had to wait about 2 hours in the blazing sun because of the many people. Questions didn't help either - everyone has to go through it, that's just the security check - was the answer. At St. Peter's Basilica, however, you were smuggled through the check with the ticket on the side. We then continued the tour and didn't get back until 4 p.m. - there was moaning that the tickets were no longer valid - when we got upset we were let in. The bus sometimes stops very far from the sights and only has a few stops - it's different in other cities. The route is also short.

    These tickets are excellent, well worth it and you save a lot of money

    Had an amazing time in the beautiful Roma. These tickets meant we didn't need to worry about spending a lot of money while we were there. Save a lot of money by pre booking this. Can upgrade your tickets so you get a guided tour but even that doesn't cost much extra. Highly recommend!!!

    Too much trouble to exchange tickets

    It is too troublesome to exchange tickets, and it is not only exchanged once. The scenic spot ticket has been exchanged three times, and it is not the same place.
