As you walk through Porta Libitinaria, the Gate of Death, you begin this unique tour in the heart of the action. History's most notorious stadium, the Colosseum, opens up in front of you, with an unbeatable view in this restricted area. With a small group of fellow adventurers, this is as close to Ancient Rome as you can get!
Then, you'll explore the luxurious Palatine Hill, still dotted with the remains of palaces and luxurious homes, and the Ancient Roman Forum. Known as the empire's cultural, social and commercial heart, the Forum was a bustling hive of energy and is now a feast for explorers and history buffs alike.
So what are you waiting for? Let's explore the real Rome!

MY parents got there a little late, the staff told them to go to the gate to try and find the tour. Then the other staff at the gate wouldn’t let them in so they were turned away and didn’t make the tour.
Good Experience!

The most memorable parts of the experience was the explanations of the different historical structures, and the guide’s historical knowledge that she shared frequently. The guide, Susanna, was very thoughtful and attentive.
