Rome: Premium Colosseum Roman Forum Private Tour – Rome, Italy

EXPERIENCE:

This tour of ancient Rome is an exciting journey through history, its interpretation and misinterpretation, legends, stories, and anecdotes. You will begin at the Colosseum and the Arch of Constantine, and walk through the Roman Forum and the Imperial Palace on the Palatine Hill, ending up at the terrace overlooking the largest stadium ever built in history, the Circus Maximus.

What was Ancient Rome like? What did the capital of the victorious Roman Republic, and later of the greatest Empire in history look like? Can we see it today? How much of it can we really see? And where? The answer is everywhere and nowhere. It is everywhere, because you can still today see spectacular places like the Colosseum, the very symbol of Rome’s eternity, Castel Sant’Angelo (Hadrian’s Mausoleum) and the Pantheon, which are 2,000 years old and still proudly outlined in the Roman sky. You can visit the Roman Forum, and see  unbelievable things, such as the first Roman sewage system built in the 7th century BC, and the remains of Roman temples, basilicas, the Senate, and the navel of the world.

The ancient city is surprisingly revealed in beautiful and elegant Renaissance and Baroque areas, where squares and buildings preserve the hidden shapes of ancient Roman stadiums, theaters and baths. It is also revealed in medieval churches whose walls incorporate those of ancient pagan temples.  It is also said this ancient city is nowhere, because today the capital of the great pagan empire built in gleaming white marble, is no longer there. It was rebuilt and remodeled in its churches and palaces. Today, you can see it only through the eyes of your imagination, and only with the help of a knowledgeable and confident person –  your guide.  Join in the tour and learn about where and how it all began, and why it will never end!
