Itinerary and highlights

From a stunning panoramic viewpoint on the Palatine Hill our guides will make you relieve the glorious past of the Eternal city as they point out and unravel the secrets of what used to be the social, political and commercial centre of the Roman Empire. Let our guides bring to life the temples, the basilicas, the shops, the arches and the open-air markets where senators, commanders, vestal virgins and common romans spent their lives 2000 years ago. Once the tour is finished you will be able to go inside the forum and visit it at your own pace.

According to the legend the Palatine Hill is where Romulus founded the Eternal City after he had killed his twin Remus in a fit of rage. It’s also the place where the emperors built their monumental and luxurious palaces; let our guides unveil this spectacular archeological site where the ruins, the towering pine trees and the spectacular views over the Circus Maximus and the Roman Forum make it a once in a lifetime experience!
