Thanks to you, I was able to comfortably travel to the South. Thank you so much, guide Yang Hee-seung. You adjusted the schedule well and explained the restaurants and maps in detail, which was really helpful! 👍 I met many guides while traveling, but you were the most thorough. I want to express my gratitude in this way, so I'm leaving this review. Thank you so much~!!

Very convenient and fast. Skip the line tickets are important even in winter / off peak season. Highly recommend.

The walking tour was a great way to see the city and it helps you appreciate the history that Rome offers. The places are less packed at night as well. Dan was friendly and knowledgeable. It was a lovely way to spend an evening.

The tour guide of our group is Fabio, an Italian who speaks very good Chinese. The tour guide arrived early in the morning and explained the history of Italy to us along the way, as well as the detailed explanation of entering the Roman Coliseum. I am very lucky to be here at Klook I found this itinerary. Someone explained it, which gave me a deeper understanding and a sense of involvement. The people were also very interesting. Some people took me directly to the passage without crowds. This itinerary was a great experience. I recommend it to everyone.

The Colosseum is amazing. So surreal. The Palatine Hill is totally under-rated. It was mind-blowing. There is not enough credit given to the Palatine Hill. We thought it will only take us 2 hours, we actually took 4 hours to walk all over the ground. Highly recommended. Tip- go in the morning. When we left at 2, there was a long queue. When we went in at 10 am, there was no queue at all.

Maria was the best tour guide I have ever had, and she truly highlighted our Italy trip. She was knowledgeable and explained the history of the Colosseum and the Roman Forum in a detailed and entertaining way, ensuring we had a full understanding. We will definitely recommend this trip to our friends.

I had a wonderful day of travel in southern Italy with passionate weather fairy Kim Gyun-hwan. There were a lot of tourists because it was the end of the year, but the sense of leaving 30 minutes early was very helpful in making the entire schedule go smoothly. I hope you have a great time in Italy.

Remarkable Landmarks and Must-Visit Sights

Colosseum

Explore the grandeur of the Colosseum, where ancient gladiators once battled. Don't miss the underground area, the Hypogeum, for a deeper dive into its history.

Colosseum Outer Wall

Your experience begins before you ever set foot inside: the first sight of the Colosseum is always special. The crumbling ruin of the south side gives way to the imperious magnificence of the stunning north side. The ornate structure is 57 metres tall, built using travertine marble sourced from quarries around Italy.

The Second Floor

See the arena from above as you walk around the amphitheater. The second floor of the Colosseum would have been reserved for the wealthiest, most important members of Ancient Roman society. Marvel at the sheer size of the structure, the ornate stonework, and the general sense of greatness.

Culture and History

The Colosseum is a testament to the grandeur of Ancient Rome. Construction began under Vespasian in AD 70-72 and was completed in AD 80 by his son Titus. It hosted gladiatorial games, wild animal hunts, and even naval battles. The rise of Christianity led to the decline of these games, with the last gladiatorial fight taking place in AD 404. Despite damage from earthquakes and looting, the Colosseum remains a symbol of Rome's enduring legacy.

Local Cuisine

While visiting the Colosseum, indulge in Rome's culinary delights. Must-try dishes include pasta carbonara, cacio e pepe, and Roman-style pizza. Nearby trattorias and cafes offer a taste of authentic Roman flavors that will make your visit even more memorable.
