To think that we were actually touching,standing and seeing the ruins from the original Rome built in 700BC was surreal. Wonderful views of modern Rome also from that vantage. More

We were waiting for our Gladiator tour guide for the second half of our tour (palatine hills) who never showed up. We were on time and at the correct spot. Our Gladiator Tour coloured stickers on our shirts were noticed by an ex-pat British woman who came over and asked if we were ok. Elaine Adams graciously added us to... More

A magical place full of ruins. The ticket for Coloseum is valid as well here an it gives you very nice view of the town and idea of the antient Rome. Aldo the best veiw is from circo maximo and worth to make this short walk around this place. More

Its where the big guys lived. Is it as impressive as the coloseum? No. So use a little imagination, close your eyes and pretend that you are living 2000 years ago in the world of ancient Donald Trumps, Warren Buffets et al. They controlled the world as they knew it with the most sophisticated army and infrastructure the world had... More

Located a short walk from colloseum this is as the name says on a hill. From here you can view ruins of times past. The garden here are wonderful and this park like setting gets you out of a hustle and bustle. Entrance is included in colloseum fee or you can purchase separate. Great to take photos overlooking Rome More

The guidebooks say these are the must sees on this site but when we reached them they were both closed up with tiny signs saying the last entrance was at 1.30 p.m. Not helpful or publicised - unfortunately poorly managed as are many major sites in Rome. Other than that not a great deal of note but pleasant surroundings. More

Views of the Colosseum from here are a must & it is all so green with gardens, trees etc, not what I expected at all. Do go it is worth it with the combined ticket for the three attractions. More

Please take one of the tours when you go to Palatine Hill. You need to hear a detailed explanation of the scale and history to truly appreciate what life must have been like for those who lived in this palace. More

Well, after walking through the Forum, we spent another 30 minutes or so walking up (and down) the Palatine hill. While it IS a lovely walk, there's almost nothing exciting to see, other than passing by the arch of Titus. If you went through the Forum, feel free to skip this hill. More
