In an elegant and comfortable Mercedes Benz Vehicle you will be chauffeured to the first stop of your tour: Colosseum and Roman Forum! Admire the glorious Flavian Amphitheatre, one of the capital’s most remarkable monuments. During the Roman Empire the Roman Colosseum allowed more than 50,000 people to enjoy its finest spectacles. The exhibitions of exotic animals, executions of prisoners, recreations of battles and gladiator fights kept the Roman people entertained for years. - Circus Maximus - Move on with the tour and reach Circus Maximus, the largest stadium in Ancient Rome, built for chariot races. Imagine to be taking part of one of the Circus Maximus chariot races competitions in which participants tried to complete seven laps of the Circus Maximus. The competitors, mounted in small chariots drawn by horses, gambled much more than their prestige or large prizes in the races, since many of them were slaves fighting for their liberty.
- Palatine Hill - The Palatine Hill is one of the Seven Hills of Rome and it is one of the most ancient parts of the city as it stands right above the Roman Forum and upon the Circus Maximus.
- Colle Aventino - You will then visit the Aventine Hill and enjoy the Secret Keyhole view. The keyhole vista lines up perfectly with the garden, centered on the St. Peterâs Cupola in the distance. The doorway in question leads to the Priory of the Knights of Malta, the legendary crusader knights!

Located in Piazza della Rotonda, it was first built as a temple to roman gods, nowadays is considered as the best conserved Ancient Roman monument, and whatâs more interesting is that nobody is sure about its age.
