From there your guide with tell you fascinating stories about the importance of the ruins below and the people who frequented them.

After descending into the Ancient Forum with your guide, you’ll combine with a slightly larger group and get headsets for the audio portion of the tour. Now the real show begins.

Through sound and light, ancient Rome explodes into vibrant life around every corner and you get to witness history like never before.
