Roman Forum

Contiki Tours visiting the ‘Eternal City’ of Rome allow a lot of free time to explore the heart of what was one of the great and most advanced civilizations ever to exist on the face of the earth.
The Ancient Roman Forum, although now an archaeological site and ruin, still contains the remnants of the temples, palaces and meeting places that were once the beating heart of the Empire.
The Forum is still being excavated today, but it is possible to walk amongst the ruins and see where Julius Caesar was cremated as well as triumphal arches, columns the many other significant sites.
If you want to know more about what is arguably the most important Ancient Roman site, most Contiki Tours visiting Rome offer an Imperial Walking Tour as an optional excursion.

Jordan is a living museum, ten days there, an incredible learning experience. We visited Bethany beyond the Jordan were Jesus was baptized by John who existed on wild honey and locusts, the site maintained in a relatively simple state and where Tony Blair recently baptized his son. A few meters across the river, sits an Israeli checkpoint.

Travel agencies became more commonplace with the development of commercial aviation, starting in the 1920s. Originally, travel agencies largely catered to middle and upper class customers, but the post-war boom in mass-market package holidays resulted in travel agencies on the main streets of most British towns, catering to a working class clientèle, looking for a convenient way to book overseas beach holidays.
