The Roman Forum

  Tours of Rome must include this graveyard of ancient civilization.

Located behind the Vittorio Emanuele Monument is the Ancient Roman Forum. The Forum stands in ruins after surviving more that 2000 years.

Your guided tour of Rome with energize your imagination as you look into the past and see the magnificent marble structures stretching out across the the Italian landscape.

Even if you are not a history buff, you definitely must tour around inside, go up on the Palantine Hill where the emperors used to lounge in their villas, and look down upon the grassy field that was once the Circus Maximus, site  of Ben Hur’s chariot races.

You’ll be looking mainly at the foundations of ruined buildings, but these are the same foundations of our Western Civilization, so worth the trip.

For students, all of the classroom hours in the world will not substitute for seeing and touching the area which we all study in school. A lesson from a Private Rome guide like Ester will be remembered for a many years. With private Rome tour guides you walk among the ruins and here the fascinating tales that turns this silent site into a moving experience. Casey Fowler at the Roman Forum View Larger Map
