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 enter Caesar Augustus's grand first-century villa for a VIP experience of one of Rome's most iconic ruins. Follow your expert guide through closed doors and into ancient living spaces adorned with stunningly preserved 2,000-year-old frescoes. Learn about the life of Caesar Augustus as you walk through his home—from his bitter rivalry with Mark Antony and Cleopatra to his pursuit of power and his affectionate relationship with his wife, Livia.

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. 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.
