What you can expect

Choose a small-group or a private tour and chart a course through the archaeological tribal beginnings of Rome and its evolution into one of the most powerful Empires of all time.

Start your journey by exploring one of the largest triumphal arches in Roman history: the Arch of Constantine the Great, before meandering through the ruins of the Roman Forum.

Hear about the Vestal Virgins and see their gardens and the pagan temple of the Goddess Vesta they served. Learn about the Basilica Julia and the penal system of Ancient Rome and its effects on Christianity. See the temple of Castor and Pollux and the Arch of Titus and learn about the sacking of Jerusalem.
Discover the Senate House, where senators met to decide the fate of the Roman Republic and how that climaxed with the murder and cremation of Julius Caesar.

Walk the paths of the Roman Emperors while visiting the hill where the legend of Romulus and Remus places the foundation of the city: the Palatine Hill. Learn how it later became one of the most exclusive areas of Ancient Rome and enjoy breathtaking views over the Colosseum and Roman Forum.

From the heights of the Palatine Hill, enjoy a bird's eye view over what is considered to have been the largest structure for public games ever built by mankind, the Circus Maximus. Let your guide drive your imagination through chariot races, gladiator fights, and the clamour of the public. Learn about the famous Roman Games and travel back in time to a quasi-legendary era before Rome itself and find out the Circus’s foundations in the early myths and Gods.

Stay in the Archaeological Area as long as you wish at the end of your official tour.
