Your journey takes you through the Imperial Forums and past Trajan's Column, then deep into the exclusive SUPER sites of the Palatine Hill. Marvel at breathtaking frescoes in the Aula Isiaca and Loggia Mattei, explore the Domus Tiberiana exhibition rooms, and visit the House of Augustus or Livia with their remarkably preserved wall paintings.
Descend through the layers of history at the Basilica of San Clemente, starting from the medieval church above and reaching a 2nd-century Mithraic Temple buried deep below. Along the way, step into a vast 4th-century underground church adorned with 9th-century frescoes and walk through the remains of a 1st-century Roman house.
End your day standing where gladiators once prepared for battle in the Colosseum, the greatest amphitheatre ever built. Your private guide brings to life the thrilling gladiatorial games, wild animal hunts, and theatrical spectacles that once entertained audiences of over 80,000 spectators.
Your tour also includes a visit to the Mamertine Prison, where Saint Peter is said to have been held, and the Forma Urbis fragment collection. We are proud members of the Parco Archeologico del Colosseo.
This full day private tour stands apart because it goes far beyond the standard Colosseum visit. You will access the exclusive SUPER sites on Palatine Hill that most visitors never see, descend into the underground layers of San Clemente Basilica, and explore Rome's ancient heart with a dedicated private guide who tailors the experience to your interests.
With all entrance tickets included and no waiting in line at crowded ticket offices, you spend your time discovering rather than queuing. From a 2nd-century Mithraic temple to the arena floor of the Colosseum, every stop on this itinerary reveals a different chapter of Rome's two-thousand-year story.
