    Colosseum

    You will enter by walking under a great archway known as the "Porta Libitina" or "Gate of Death", directly in the reconstructed Arena Floor, where the savage games once took place. The Gate of Death earned its name because only the dead passed through this exit after losing their lives in battle. Most Colosseum visitors aren’t allowed on the Arena Floor, but this private tour includes privileged access.

    Palatine Hill

    Between the Roman Forum and the Circus Maximus, is the Palatine Hill. This awe-inspiring area of towering pine trees, majestic ruins and unparalleled views was where Romulus was said to have founded Rome in 753 B.C. This is also where Rome's emperors lived in opulent luxury. Once one of ancient Rome’s most exclusive neighborhoods, the Palatine Hill is still an amazing place. With views of Circus Maximus and the Forum, don’t miss this incredible touristic attraction.
