The tour includes priority entry into the sites to avoid long lines. Visitors start by seeing the Arch of Constantine, the largest Roman triumphal arch located between the Colosseum and Palatine Hill. At the Colosseum, the tour lasts about half an hour, with the option to explore the Arena Floor where gladiators once fought, if chosen at booking. Next, the tour proceeds to the Roman Forum, where guests walk among ruins of important public buildings and government centers for around 20 minutes. The itinerary also covers several significant locations including Piazza del Colosseo, Via Sacra, Via dei Fori Imperiali, the Rostra platform, the Temple of Venus and Roma, the Arch of Titus, the Temple of Antoninus and Faustina, and Palatine Hill. Palatine Hill provides views over the ancient city and the Circus Maximus, which can be seen from above. The entire visit involves walking and standing on various terrain and staircases. Included are a professional guide and headsets for the guided tours, entrance fees to all sites, the reservation fee, and the audioguide app if that option is selected. The Arena Floor and Underground Floor access are only included if chosen during booking. The tour does not include hotel pickup or gratuities. Audioguide codes are sent 24 hours before the tour start when that option is selected, and the app requires a smartphone and earphones.
