Description:

Spend a morning taking in the architectural and historical wonders of the ancient world with skip-the-line access to the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill. In the afternoon, head into the countryside of the Frascati region for winetasting at the famed estate of Principe Pallavicini.

Meet your guide and make your way to the imposing ruins of the Colosseum, skipping the long line and stepping into this storied amphitheater to hear tales of the barbaric entertainment that took place here, from gladiator battles to gruesome public executions. From there, trek across to the Roman Forum, walking along the Via Sacra by the still-standing pillars of temples and marketplaces. Hear about the festivals and processions that took place here and climb up the Palatine Hill, the mythological location where Romulus and Remus were found.

Take a midday break to kick back in a café or continue exploring on your own before meeting your guide for the afternoon portion of your tour. Hop into an air-conditioned coach and ride through the centuries-old vineyards and olive groves of the Frascati wine region. At the celebrated Principe Pallavicini estate, learn about wine production as you walk inside a 3rd-century wine cellar built into the ruins of an ancient Roman aqueduct. A professional sommelier leads you in a tasting of award-winning wine vintages, accompanied by fragrant fresh-pressed olive oil and 2 kinds of delicious, crusty bruschetta, before your return to the Eternal City.
