Ancient Rome
On the Ancient Rome tour, we will take you on a private tour of the Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill. We will dive together in the three main archaeological sites that still amaze the whole world today! … A unique, five-star experience!
Our story will begin from the first site, the Palatine Hill. Just where the first King of Rome, Romulus, founded the capital of Italy more than two 2000 years ago!
Walking through the ruins of the imperial houses, we will show you where, thanks to the excavations during the Fascism, it has been found the first residential nucleus with the remains of huts from the Iron Age!
We will then go to the Roman Forum: the core of the cultural, administrative and commercial life of the city.
At the exit, taking a look at the beautiful Imperial Forums and the Capitol with the “Vittoriano” in the background, we will head towards our third place: the Colosseum.
Together we will discover the reasons that led three Emperors to build it. Will we understand what it meant for the ancient population to be able to see the shows!
Who were the gladiators really?! We will tell you anecdotes and which, in addition to the munera, were the long-awaited games! … And much more!
The visit will end inside the Colosseum, because the purpose of the tour is also to leave to everyone the opportunity to fully enjoy the symbol of the greatness of an Era that changed the world!
For archeology fans we recommend a visit to the UNESCO site of Ostia Antica.
