The Colosseum private tour will take you inside the largest amphitheatre ever built in antiquity gladiators and wild animals from every corner of the Empire wold be used for spectacles. Listening to stories and anecdotes about those days from your guide, (me) while you are just filling your eyes with the magnificent scenario is incomparable.

This private tour obviously includes the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill;

going back to Imperial Rome when almost one million inhabitants were walking around and chariots were not allowed to ride in the bustling city centre, making traffic issues as enduring as the city itself.

Walk on the same timeworn volcanic slabs that were trod by Julius Caesar and Octavian Augustus and become familiar with everyday life in downtown Ancient Rome, walking through one of the most powerful and important city centers of the past.

Venturing between Public Buildings, Temples dedicated to Gods and Emperors, where Generals of the Roman Empire were honored the Triumph once back from Military campaigns and conquests, to be cheered by the people of Rome on the Sacred Way.

Then up the Palatine Hill, confusion of ancient and modern everyday life is left behind. Suddenly you will be immersed in the most green and residential area of Ancient Rome, where the high society and Emperors chose to live and where the legendary Foundation of Rome took place.
