Additional Information

Join us on this VIP, small-group tour to explore the wonders of Rome with an expert, historian guide. Our tours are personal, and much smaller than some others offered in the Eternal City - meaning you get the full experience.

As you walk through Porta Libitinaria, the Gate of Death, you begin this unique tour in the heart of the action. History’s most notorious stadium, the Colosseum, opens up in front of you, with an unbeatable view in this restricted area.

Then, you’ll explore the Palatine Hill, still dotted with the remains of palaces and luxurious homes, and the Ancient Roman Forum. Known as the empire’s cultural, social and commercial heart, the Forum was a bustling hive of energy and is now a feast for explorers and history buffs alike.

Please note we will either start with the Colosseum or the Roman Forum/Palatine Hill depending on the time of tickets we can purchase

Amazing experience! - Visiting the colosseum was always one of the things on my bucket list and I’m so glad I decided to jump on the tour, which was arranged for me by Oliver. Not only did I get to queue jump, but the tour itself was incredibly detailed and of great value. The views inside were impeccable and I cannot rate this experience highly enough. I would like to think Oliver for arranging this for me and also the great tour guide who showed me around and educated me. 5 star experience and I would highly recommend any one visiting Rome to jump onboard this!
