Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Besøg Romas symboliske monument med en rundvisning, der gør det let og sjovt for alle aldre. Lær om amfiteaterets historie fra en guide med kunst- og arkæologiske baggrund.
Derefter besøger du det romerske forum. Dette er et af de vigtigste arkæologiske områder i verden med nogle af det antikke Roms mest stemningsfulde ruiner, herunder Julius Caesar-templet, Titusbuen, Vestal jomfruhus, Senatens hus og Maxentius-basilikaen. Beundre Roman Forum's Sacred Way, den triumfale vej, hvor Centurions of Caesar marcherede efter deres tilbagevenden fra utallige slag og erobringer.
Når du er gået gennem Palatine Hill, kan du udforske stedet for en ældre bosættelse fra det 9. århundrede f.Kr. Beundre de utrolige fresker i huset Augustus og Hippodrome, en elliptisk nedsænket have fra Domitian-paladset. Her kan du nyde en imponerende udsigt over Circus Maximus og dalen til det romerske forum. Lær om legenden om Romulus og Remus, de forladte brødre opdrættet af en ulv, der kæmpede for hinanden for magt og kontrol. Efter turen skal du tage en times pause og derefter vende tilbage til vores kontor i via della Polveriera kl. 13.45
Start med en lille gruppe fra vores rejsebureau nær Colosseum og transporteres dig komfortabelt på et køretøj med aircondition på et af de mest interessante og besøgte steder i Rom, "katakomberne" på Via Appia Antica. Paas ved de majestætiske Aurelian Walls og kommer til det arkæologiske område af Via Appia Antica, nedsænket i det grønne romerske landskab, vil du stige ned i den gamle verden af Catacombs, et komplekst netværk af underjordiske tunneler blandt de længste i verden, som besætter et område på cirka femten hektar, der består af ca. 60 kilometer tunneler på flere niveauer. Katakomberne, som vi besøger (San Calisto, San Sebastiano eller Santa Domitilla), til din tur vil ændre sig afhængigt af dagen, men fra hvor vi går, har du mulighed for at se gamle freskomalerier, krypter rige på inskriptioner udskåret i vægge, nicher med stadig rester af skeletter, små mausoleums, sarkofager, grave og små kapeller, der stadig i dag, efter ca. 2000 år, stadig bruges til at fejre religiøse ritualer. Her finder du begravelse af berømte mennesker som paver, martyrer og ifølge sagnene endda nogle apostle. Efter turen tilbage i sollys tager din chauffør dig tilbage til det oprindelige udgangspunkt i Via Della Polveriera.
Katakomben menes at være blevet skabt af den fremtidige pave Callixtus I, dengang en diakon i Rom, under ledelse af pave Zephyrinus, der udvidede allerede eksisterende tidlig kristen hypogea. Callixtus selv blev begravet i Calepodies katakombe på Aurelian Way. Krypten faldt i ubrug og forfald, da de relikvier, den indeholdt, blev oversat fra katakomberne til de forskellige kirker i Rom; den sidste bølge af oversættelser fra krypten fandt sted under pave Sergius II i det 9. århundrede, primært til San Silvestro i Capite, som i modsætning til katakomben var inden for de aureliaanske mure.[1] Katakomben og krypten blev genopdaget i 1854 af den banebrydende italienske arkæolog Giovanni Battista de Rossi.
Circus Maximus (latin for "største cirkus"; italiensk: Circo Massimo) er et gammelt romersk vogn-racerstadion og masseunderholdningssted i Rom, Italien. Dalen mellem Aventine- og Palatinerbjergene var det første og største stadion i det antikke Rom og dets senere imperium. Den målte 621 m (2.037 fod) i længden og 118 m (387 fod) i bredden og kunne rumme over 150.000 tilskuere. Dens fuldt udviklede form blev modellen for cirkus i hele Romerriget. Pladsen er nu en offentlig park.
Caracalla-badene (italiensk: Terme di Caracalla) i Rom, Italien, var byens næststørste romerske offentlige bade eller termer. Badene blev sandsynligvis bygget mellem AD 212 (eller 211) og 216/217, under kejserne Septimius Severus og Caracallas regeringstid.[2] De var i drift indtil 530'erne og faldt derefter i ubrug og ruin. Både under og siden deres virke som bade, tjente de som inspiration til mange andre gamle og moderne bygninger, såsom Diocletians bade, Maxentius-basilikaen, den oprindelige Pennsylvania Station i New York City, Chicago Union Station og Senatet i Canada bygning. Kunstværker genvundet fra ruinerne omfatter berømte skulpturer såsom Farnese Bull og Farnese Hercules.
Konstantinbuen (italiensk: Arco di Costantino) er en triumfbue i Rom dedikeret til kejser Konstantin den Store. Buen blev bestilt af det romerske senat for at mindes Konstantins sejr over Maxentius ved slaget ved Milvian Bridge i 312 e.Kr. Beliggende mellem Colosseum og Palatinerhøjen spænder buen over Via Triumphalis, ruten taget af sejrrige militærledere, da de kom ind byen i et triumftog. [a] Indviet i 315 er det den største romerske triumfbue, med overordnede dimensioner på[1] 21 m (69 fod) høj, 25,9 m (85 fod) bred og 7,4 m (24 fod) dyb. Den har tre båse, den centrale er 11,5 m høj og 6,5 m bred og sidestykkerne 7,4 m gange 3,4 m hver. Buen er konstrueret af murstensbeton beklædt med marmor.
Caracalla-badene (italiensk: Terme di Caracalla) i Rom, Italien, var byens næststørste romerske offentlige bade eller termer. Badene blev sandsynligvis bygget mellem AD 212 (eller 211) og 216/217, under kejserne Septimius Severus og Caracallas regeringstid.[2] De var i drift indtil 530'erne og faldt derefter i ubrug og ruin. Både under og siden deres virke som bade, tjente de som inspiration til mange andre bemærkelsesværdige bygninger, gamle og moderne, såsom Diocletians bade, Maxentius-basilikaen, den oprindelige Pennsylvania Station i New York City, Chicago Union Station og Senatet af Canada Building. Kunstværker genvundet fra ruinerne omfatter berømte skulpturer såsom Farnese Bull og Farnese Hercules. I dag er Caracalla-badene en turistattraktion.

Experience started off bad from get go, I scheduled my trip to start at 11:00 knowing I was flying in from California and arriving to Rome airport at 7:33. The day before the pre booked excursion I was notified that they changed me to the 9:30 start time. I was very rushed to make the meeting time. I barely had time to stop at my hotel to drop off my luggage. No time to change into something more comfortable to the heat, no time to purchase water etc. the description stated we would be traveling in an air conditioned van, that never happened. We walked from the meeting point in the heat. The guide was very good, maybe a little long winded for me since a lot of the explanations was while we were in direct sun. After the colosseum portion of the tour, which ended around 12:30, I was advised the next portion of the tour to the catacombs wouldn’t be till 2:30. The details of the description does not say that. I paid over $230 per person for me and my wife, and do not think it was worth the hassle and confusion. I had to speak to the staff to get them to take me to the remaining portion of my excursion and they reluctantly got someone to take us at 1:30, which was in a golf cart, not the air conditioned van I was promised in the description I originally signed up for.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry that some aspects of the experience did not meet your expectations. However, we would like to provide some additional context regarding the changes made to your itinerary. The day of your tour, Rome was under an official orange-level heat alert, with authorities strongly advising against prolonged sun exposure during the hottest hours of the day. For this reason, and in the interest of our guests' safety and comfort, we chose to anticipate the Colosseum visit to an earlier time slot. Regarding transportation to the Catacombs, the air-conditioned minivan transfer was available as planned. However, because you expressed a preference to anticipate the Catacombs visit rather than wait for the scheduled departure, we arranged an earlier golf cart transfer for you, which you accepted. This solution was organized specifically to accommodate your request and reduce your waiting time. We would also like to clarify what is included in the tour price: Colosseum entrance tickets, Catacombs entrance tickets, a guided tour of the Colosseum, a guided tour of the Catacombs, and round-trip transportation to the Catacombs. These services represent a comprehensive package that combines multiple attractions, transportation, professional guides, assistance, tax, platform commission, bank fees, insurance, and our markup. We are always open to constructive feedback and continuously strive to improve our services. Out of genuine curiosity, we would be interested in knowing what you would consider a fair price for an experience that includes all of the above services. We encourage you to try organizing independently Colosseum tickets, Catacombs tickets, licensed guides for both sites, and round-trip transportation, and compare the overall cost and logistics involved. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your guide's expertise and appreciate your comments regarding the quality of the guided experience. Kind regards, Tour in the City Team

It's great to know that our guide's knowledge helped bring the history to life and that skipping the long lines made your visit even more enjoyable. Thank you for recommending the tour. We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure in Rome! Best regards, Tour in the City Team
Really great tour to amazing sites! Eva was our guide for the Colosseum and Forum. She was knowledgeable and engaging. It would’ve been nice though to have a few extra minutes just to “look around”. Paco was our driver to/from the Catacombs. The vehicle was a golf cart instead of air conditioned, but Paco was great…took us to drive by a couple “extra” sites that we definitely wouldn’t have seen otherwise. Obviously, the Colosseum, Forum and Catacombs were all spectacular. All in all, definitely recommend this tour!!
Thank you for your fantastic review! We're delighted to hear that you had such a great experience exploring some of Rome’s most iconic sites. It's wonderful to know that Eva made your visit to the Colosseum and Roman Forum both engaging and informative with her knowledge and enthusiasm. Thank you as well for your kind words about Paco. We're glad you enjoyed the transfer and the opportunity to see a few extra sights along the way—those unexpected moments often become some of the most memorable parts of a trip! We also appreciate your feedback regarding having a little more time to explore independently at the Colosseum and Forum. Guest comments like yours help us continue improving our tours and overall experience. Thank you for choosing Tour In the City and for recommending us. We hope to welcome you back to Rome for another unforgettable adventure! Warm regards, The Tour In the City Team
This tour is actually multiple tours combined. We first had the group tour of the Colosseum. There were 12 people in total. It was easy to find the meeting location and a short walk to the Colosseum. Being part of a group tour we were able to get into a shorter entry line. You still need to have a matching passport name and ticket, and go through a metal detector and bag screening. After the 2.5 hour tour, we then had 3 hours to wait until the 2nd part of the tour experience began for the visit to the Catacombs. The itinerary for this tour is confusing, there are two separate Catacombs listed, but you only go to one, and there are "pass by" locations listed but the driver does not point them out. There is no food provided on either tour. Overall, both tours were good and we'd do it again. The Colosseum tour guide was very knowledgeable.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed both parts of the experience and that you found the Colosseum guide knowledgeable. We would like to clarify that all the details mentioned are specified in the tour description before booking. Food is not included in this experience, and this is clearly stated in the inclusions and exclusions section. Regarding the Catacombs, the tour description explains that the visit may take place at one of the listed Catacombs, depending on opening days, availability, and operational conditions. For this reason, guests visit either one Catacomb or the other, not both. The waiting time between the Colosseum tour and the Catacombs visit is intentionally scheduled to allow guests enough time to have lunch independently and to avoid the hottest hours of the day, especially during the summer season in Rome. We appreciate your comments and are happy to know that overall you enjoyed the tours and would do the experience again.
Fabio was fantastic! We had a history lesson with each stop. All the food was excellent! Some things of which we never heard!!! The walk was easy and we were very full at the end of the tour. Highly recommend.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that Fabio made such a positive impression. His passion for Rome's history and culture is something our guests often appreciate, and we will be sure to share your kind words with him. We're also pleased that you enjoyed the food selections and had the opportunity to discover new local specialties along the way. Combining history, authentic cuisine, and a relaxed walking experience is exactly what we aim to provide. Thank you for your recommendation. We hope to welcome you back to Rome for another memorable experience in the future! Kind regards, The Team
Our tour guides were very knowledgeable and helped us navigate the throngs of people. Very informative. Paco was especially amazing!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed both tours and that our guides helped make your experience smooth, enjoyable, and informative despite the crowds.

He is a fantastic guide, and we will be sure to pass along your compliments to him. Thank you for choosing our Colosseum and Catacombs experience. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back to Rome again soon! Kind regards, The Team
The Colosseum tour guide was wonderful. She was extremely knowledgeable and shared many interesting facts. Eva was her name and she was spectacular.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the Colosseum & Catacombs tour. Eva will be especially happy to know she made such a strong impression—she truly has a passion for sharing Rome’s history. We hope to welcome you again for another memorable experience!
The Colosseum was amazing and our tour guide Ava was great!! We added on the catacomb tour which reflects even more history of this city!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the Colosseum and that Ava made your experience special. Adding the catacombs is a great choice to dive even deeper into Rome’s history—glad you found it worthwhile. We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable tour soon!
We booked the Colosseum and Catacombs. We ended up skipping the catacombs to spend more time in the Colosseum, which is stunning and an engineering feat! The Forum was very interesting and a lot of history. Our guide was very knowledgeable!
Thank you for your kind review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your time at the Colosseum and Roman Forum, and that you found the experience so fascinating. It’s great to know that your guide’s knowledge helped bring the history to life and made your visit even more meaningful. We understand your choice to spend more time at the Colosseum—it truly is an incredible site. We hope you’ll have the chance to visit the catacombs on a future trip for another unique experience. We’d love to welcome you again in Rome!
The time changes and meeting point changes were a tad annoying esp because it didn’t change in the app just texted the difference or emailed but with limited service the emails were hard to check. Also the times were off it said 4 hours but it was 4 for the first half two more for the second . Other than that it was great and informative.
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear you found the tour informative and enjoyable overall. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the schedule and meeting point changes. We understand how frustrating it can be, especially with limited internet access, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We’ll work on improving how these updates are communicated to ensure a smoother experience in the future. Thank you again for your understanding, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you on another tour!
