Description

Begin your journey at the Basilica of Saints Cosmas and Damian, where you’ll meet your licensed guide. Walk through the monumental arches of the Roman Forum, once the political, commercial, and religious center of the Western world. Stand where Julius Caesar was cremated, view the Temple of the Vestal Virgins, and walk the ancient stones of the Via Sacra. Ascend Palatine Hill, the legendary birthplace of Rome. Trace the footsteps of Romulus and Remus and explore the expansive ruins of the Imperial Palaces where emperors once lived overlooking the Circus Maximus. What makes this tour exceptional is your access to the SUPER Sites—a curated collection of delicate, historical treasures within the archaeological park. Depending on daily rotation schedules set by the venue, you will step inside hidden gems such as the vibrant early-Christian frescoes of Santa Maria Antiqua, the underground Neronian Cryptoporticus, or the opulent House of Augustus and Livia. This tour grants you Entry to main venue (e.g., Roman Forum / Palatine Hill) and Super Sites open on the day of your visit. Please note that no specific SUPER site is guaranteed.
