Saint Peter Basilica VIP Private Tour with special sky breakfast on the Dome

Meet your guide at Piazza del Campidoglio in time for your midday start. Admire the equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius as your art historian guide shares knowledge of Rome’s antiquity, from the foundation of the Roman Empire up to its decline.

Leaving the public square designed by Michelangelo, set off for the Roman Forum, following a path of the original cobblestone road. Your guide shares the history of Julius Caesar while you explore the valley and its archaeological ruins, today an open-air museum filled with triumphal arches, statues, fountains, temples, and basilicas.

Leaving the Roman Forum, you will reach Palatine Hill, which towers over the Roman Forum and the Circus Maximus, once the home of emperors and the site of temples. Discover its myths and legends with your guide.

Finally, use your skip-the-line ticket to enter the Colosseum. Your guided tour includes the arena where gladiators had their moments of glory and the first and second tiers of the amphitheater where spectators were seated. You’ll delve deeper into the history of the Colosseum, built by Emperor Vespasian and opened to the public in 80 A.D.

Finally, admire the triumphal Arch of the Emperor Constantine from the first-floor terrace, where your tour ends.
