For those who want to time-travel but don’t have eons to do it, this tour transports you back to ancient Rome in just 2½ hours. Your expert guide will take you through the Colosseum, miraculously still standing despite centuries of scavengers helping themselves to raw materials and the harrowing effects of Roman traffic (pollution and vibration). You will also enjoy an overview of the Roman and Imperial Forums and be wowed by the panoramic view of ancient landmarks from the Palatine Hill. This tour is perfect for cruisers on short port visits, people with young children and those who prefer their history in small doses.
