The Eternal City - through the eyes of an expert
Rome is complex - its history spans every major era of Western civilisation, from Ancient times through the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and right to the present day. It's truly a living historical monument, and decoding it all is no easy task. Our history expert will help uncover all the layers on a private tour into the heart of Roman culture., past and present.
​What to see in Rome - The Must-See's
​Ancient Rome
The Coliseum
The Coliseum, built in 79AD, has been standing for almost two thousand years and is a testament to the incredible accomplishments of the Roman Empire. Visit this ancient landmark from the inside out with your expert guide, and get an in-depth understanding of ancient Roman civilisation.
The Roman Forum
The Roman Forum was the centre of the ancient city and still houses remains of temples from the times of the Emperors. With your expert guide, you'll uncover layers of history from every century and discover the stories behind the ruins, including the tomb of Julius Caesar.
The Palatine Hill & Circus Maximus
The Palatine Hill looks over the Roman Forum, and was home to the ancient elite until the Emperor built his palace there. Discover the lives of the Emperors with your guide and see the impressive view of the Circus Maximus right under the slope of the imperial palace.
The Imperial Forums & Trajan's Markets
The Imperial Forums were built by Roman Emperors for public use - as a kind of extension to the already existing Roman Forum. Join your expert guide who will tell you the stories of Augustus, the first Emperor, and Trajan, who built the neighbouring markets still intact today.
The Domus Aurea
The Domus Aurea was built by Emperor Nero as the most extravagantly lavish palace he could conjure up. Sources say it was built after the great fire of 64 AD - but some archeologists believe it was all part of a giant publicity hoax. Explore the ruins with an expert and decode the mystery behind the facts.
The Pantheon
One of the most beautiful ancient monuments of all time, the Pantheon is over 1800 years old and has stood the test of time through the centuries. It was transformed into a church in the Middle Ages, and is still a functioning church today. Discover all the layers of history on your tour with an expert guide.
The Ara Pacis
The Ara Pacis is not typically included on a tour of Rome, but definitely deserves a visit. Built by Augustus in 13 BC, it has portrait reliefs of the imperial family - one of which is held at the Louvre in Paris. Discover the secret life of Augustus, first Roman Emperor and founder of the pax romana or "Roman Peace".
​Renaissance & Baroque Rome
The Piazza Navona
The Piazza Navona is best known for its Baroque sculptures including the Four River Fountain by Bernini, at its centre.
