How to See Ancient Rome in a Day Without a Tour Guide

We spent the day visiting the tourist highlights of Ancient Rome--including the Pantheon, Roman Forum, and Colosseum! Thanks to some planning and the free Rick Steves' audio tours we were able to do this without a paid guide and at our own pace for only 18 euro a person for entry tickets.

About us:
We are Garret and Lauren, two newly weds living in Texas. After getting married in early 2021, we decided to spend the first three years of marriage traveling to 30 new locations before we turn 30 in the summer of 2024! We plan to share our new adventures as well as reflect on some of our past travels through this vlog channel, and hope that you will follow along with us.

I really enjoyed this video. The walk makes me want to visit Rome one day! Thanks for sharing!

The place is absolutely amazing. I wish to visit this place someday. Stay safe always.

I love the idea behind this video! You can get caught up spending SO much money through tours in cities like Rome, when options like Rick Steves' guides are a fantastic alternative that can really boost a travel experience without hurting the wallet😅 Keep up the good work guys! Love the channel!

Great Location for your hotel. We really hope to visit Rome one day. So much history. Wow, a month in advance to book your ticket is quite a long time ahead. 6 Wonders of the Modern world checked off is very impressive!

I always did something i was a little not ready to do. I think that's how you grow. When there's that moment of, 'wow, I'm not really sure I can do this, ' and you push through those moments, that's When you have a breakthrough.

Gotta love Rick Steves! We're also planning on using his audio tours when we're in Italy, glad to know it was useful!

Thanks for the great tip! We've been using the app in Ephesus in Turkey and it's very helpful! Great video, thanks for sharing beautiful rome!

[DavidandSarah]

Ohh good to know about the free tour app! Beautiful place. lots of history.

[exploringplanethome]

Wow! What a fantastic trip through Italy you guys are having! Great tips, and as always, it's a pleasure to follow your journey!

[TheAverageTourist]

We didn't tour the Colosseum when we visited - but I guess that means I just have to go back to do that. Great list of things to do there.

[WanderlustWellman]

That's a lot of walking around in a day! We also stayed near the Pantheon. Using Rick Steeves guide was such a great idea to get some context while looking at these historical sights. I found the Roman Forum a lot to take in as well, so many different notable buildings and sights. Congrats to visiting 6 of the 7 New Wonders of the World! Only Machu Picchu is left right?

[ItsAllTripToMe]

Never used the Rick Steves app! Great tip, especially for Rome which is full of ancient history!👌

I like the Pantheon the most out of the places you visited, the occulus fascinated me. Queen Margarita, after whom the margarita pizza was named, is buried in the Pantheon. I love acquiring these useless bits of information in my travels!😀😃
