Private Rome Highlights and Roman Forum Tour

See Piazza Venezia, the central hub of modern Rome, dominated by the grand Altare della Patria, also known as the Victor Emmanuel II Monument, built to honor Italy’s unification.

Step inside the heart of ancient Rome on a guided walk through the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, once the political, religious, and social center of the Roman world. Accompanied by a licensed guide, explore temples, basilicas, and public spaces that shaped the history of the Republic and the Empire. The visit continues on the Palatine Hill, legendary birthplace of Rome and later home to imperial residences, offering panoramic views over the Forum and Circus Maximus. With the Forum Pass SUPER, the itinerary may include access to selected SUPER sites, subject to availability, such as the House of Augustus and the House of Livia, renowned for their refined frescoes and insight into elite Roman life. Throughout the visit, enjoy beautiful external viewpoints of the Colosseum, observed and explained from the outside only.

As part of the Forum Pass SUPER, the guided tour may include access to selected SUPER archaeological sites, reserved for areas of exceptional historical and artistic value. These exclusive spaces may include the House of Augustus, the private residence of Rome’s first emperor, known for its refined frescoes and intimate layout, and the House of Livia, traditionally associated with Livia Drusilla and celebrated for its remarkably preserved wall paintings. Access to SUPER sites is regulated by daily capacity limits and availability set by the Parco Archeologico del Colosseo, and the itinerary is adapted accordingly on the day of the visit.

At the conclusion of the guided visit, guests may choose how to continue their experience. Those who wish can remain inside the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill to explore independently until closing time, using their Forum Pass SUPER. Alternatively, guests may exit the archaeological area with the guide and enjoy a final explanation of the Colosseum from the outside, focusing on its history, architecture, and role within ancient Rome. The Colosseum is observed and explained exclusively from the exterior.
