Colosseum & VIP Caesar's Palace SUPER Sites Tour

There's no better place to begin your adventure through ancient Rome than the Roman Forum. As the civic center of the empire, the Forum was the bustling heart of political and social life for centuries. Your expert guide will help you to navigate the maze of remarkably preserved ruins, including tombs, temples, government buildings, and shops. With every step, you'll be immersed in the daily dramas of one of the ancient world's most iconic civilizations, as your guide brings the old stones to life with thrilling anecdotes. 

Next, you'll climb Palatine Hill to visit the SUPER Sites, a collection of immaculately preserved ancient villas, temples, churches, and more. Normally closed to the public, these areas can be entered with special access tickets obtained in advance—which you'll have! The specific sites you'll see depend on what is open on the day of your tour. Possible highlights include the House of Augustus, the former residence of Caesar Augustus adorned with frescoes as vivid as those in Pompeii; the church of Santa Maria Antiqua, a rare example of early Christian art and architecture; or the Domus Tiberiana, Ancient Rome's first imperial palace from the first century AD. No matter which SUPER Sites you visit, you’ll enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime experience away from the crowds.

Finally, wrap up your exploration of ancient Rome with a comprehensive tour of the Colosseum. Your guide will bring the history of the Colosseum to life, spinning tales of the mass executions, decadent animal "hunts," and one-on-one combat that once took place within these walls. As you make your way through the Colosseum, you'll gain a new appreciation for the skill and bravery of the gladiators, who risked everything in pursuit of glory.
