According to the legend, the Palatine Hill is where Romulus founded the Eternal City after killing his twin Remus in a fit of rage. It’s also the hill on which the rich and famous of the Roman Republic lived, and on which the emperors built their monumental and luxurious palaces. Let our guides share with you the secrets of this spectacular archeological site where the ruins, the towering pine trees and the spectacular views over the Circus Maximus and the Roman Forum make for a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Via Sacra
Follow in the footsteps of the Caesars as you walk the Via Sacra (Sacred Way). This was the route victorious generals and their legions took into the Roman Forum, parading their spoils and captives to the cheers and jeers of the crowd. But before making your way into the Forum, you'll be climbing the hill where Rome's history began...
Our last stop is the Roman Forum, the beating heart of the ancient city. Discover what life was like for everyday Romans as you explore the social, religious, and political hub of the Roman Empire. Marvel at the remains of 2,000-year-old temples, triumphal arches, sprawling basilicas and much more as you tread the same stones as Caesar and Cicero once did. Once the tour is finished, you will be able to go inside the forum and visit it at your own pace.
