This exclusive experience offers an intimate, immersive approach to understanding the history, landmarks, and legacy of the Eternal City. Your journey with us begins at Trajan’s Column and continues to the Roman Forum—once the political, commercial, and spiritual core of our ancient city. From the Senate House to the Temple of Julius Caesar, from the House of the Vestal Virgins to the Arch of Titus, every step on this journey will bring you closer to Rome beyond the ruins.


Then, your expert guide will lead you to Palatine Hill, where Rome’s emperors once lived. Take a stroll in the shade of the Farnese Gardens’ majestic umbrella pines. Wander among the imposing ruins of imperial palaces—the views from Palatine Hill are as glittering as Rome itself. 


Your journey with us continues to the Colosseum, where you will pass through the Gladiator’s gate—the same portal through which gladiators once entered the great amphitheater. This private tour also offers exclusive access to the Colosseum’s arena floor, where gladiators once fought and died, where legends were born. 


You’ll not only gain access to the Colosseum’s ground level and arena floor but also the mezzanine section, which boasts panoramic views of the Colosseum’s interior—a perfect place for an unforgettable photo opportunity. 


Flexible pacing. Exclusive access. Personalized storytelling. This private tour is perfect for couples and close-knit travel groups who want to experience the beauty of ancient Rome on their own terms.
