Highlights
  • Colosseum - You will be walking under a great archway known as the “Porta Libitina” or “Gate of Death” directly onto the reconstructed Arena Floor, where the savage games once took place. Facing death at the hands of ferocious human or animal opponents, gladiators fought on this Arena floor, where most Colosseum visitors aren’t allowed.
  • Palatine Hill - Sandwiched between the Roman Forum and the Circus Maximus, is the Palatine Hill. This awe-inspiring area of towering pine trees, majestic ruins and unparalleled views was where Romulus was said to have founded Rome in 753 B.C. This is also where Rome’s emperors lived in opulent luxury. Once one of ancient Rome’s most exclusive neighborhoods, the Palatine Hill is still an awe-inspiring place.
  • Roman Forum - Your private guide will be taking you to the Roman Forum which is full of incredible ruins. Visit some of the most famous Roman Forum buildings, including the Temple of Julius Caesar, Arch of Titus, the Temple of Vesta and the Roman Senate House. Relive ancient history as you walk down the same roads taken by famous Roman Emperors and philosophers.
