Description
This carefully crafted tour of Ancient Rome offers you the best of both worlds: express access to the Colosseum and the Roman Forum's highly exclusive SUPER Sites. Led by a knowledgeable guide, you'll explore immaculately preserved ancient villas and temples that few visitors have the chance to access, discover centuries of history at the Colosseum, and stroll the streets of the Roman Forum—all in true VIP fashion. With access to Rome's most significant sites, this experience takes you on an unforgettable journey through the heart of the ancient world's greatest empire.
Begin your journey through ancient Rome with a visit to the Forum, where you'll be transported back in time to experience the daily life of the empire’s citizens. As you walk along the same stones that Julius Caesar and Mark Antony once did, your guide will make the ruins feel alive again with fascinating stories and anecdotes. From there, you’ll head up Palatine Hill and into the SUPER Sites, a collection of exquisitely preserved ancient villas, temples, churches, and more. This area is rarely accessible to visitors, but with special access tickets secured in advance, you'll walk right in. The specific sites you'll visit will vary depending on what's open the day of your tour. A few possibilities are the House of Augustus, the onetime home of Caesar Augustus with vibrant frescoes that rival those of 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 dating to the first century AD. No matter which of the SUPER Sites you visit, you're guaranteed an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience away from the crowds.
Finally, no tour of ancient Rome would be complete without a visit to the Colosseum. With pre-reserved tickets, you'll breeze past the crowds and head straight inside. You'll ascend to the first and second tiers and immerse yourself in the reality of a day at the games, from animal hunts and halftime executions to gladiatorial combat and gambling.
