Overview
Rome's central monuments draw heavy daytime crowds and harsh midday light that flattens the photo angles. This evening walking tour covers the exterior of the Colosseum, the Roman and Imperial Forums, and Capitol Hill after dark, when the sites are lit up and the crowds thin out. An archaeologist guide walks the route and explains how the monuments connected as the political, civic, and religious centre of ancient Rome.
- Colosseum, Forums, and Capitol Hill exteriors on one evening walking route
- Archaeologist guide explains the political and civic layout of ancient Rome
- Evening timing avoids daytime crowds and harsh midday photo lighting

Where Thomas is our tour guide period spoke excellent English and had an extremely in depth background of Roman history period when we met up we quickly realized that it was not the tour that I expected our friends and I wanted to do a Night tour of the Coliseum but apparently that's not available and I miss red the description period but Thomas made it all work period he gave us a tour of Ancient Rome in explained everything with so much detail period the trip turned out to be better than probably would I was originally looking forward to period he explained things so that when we were looking at ruins he explained what they actually were instead of just looking at stone and not knowing the background or the history his passion was contagious he loves roman history. I would take this trip again period

Thomas was a phenomenal guide ! Super knowledgeable, any questions we had he knew right away. Definitely going to recommend him to family and friends in the future!

Going in with a small group at a more dramatic viewing time with a very knowledgeable guide that was able to connect past history with current history with vivid detail and pertinent points. Because of the smaller group size one got more out of the tour. Great job.
