What makes Exclusive Tour of Ancient Rome and Domus Tiberiana a unique experience ?
The Forum and the Via Sacra, the Sacred Way, were the heart of Ancient Rome. All of Roman life could be found in this bustling marketplace: commerce and trade, political rallies, military parades, and the sacred ceremonies of the Vestal Virgins.
The Palatine Hill is the spot Romulus chose to found the city that would become Rome in 753 BC – a decision that ended in tragedy for his brother Remus. Here, steeped in history, you’ll enjoy spectacular views overlooking your next destination: the Roman Forum.
Domus Tiberiana is one of the most important archaeological sites in Rome that has been closed for 50 years and was reopened in September 2023. After the long and delicate restoration work it was possible to reopen to the public this is the first Imperial Palace in Rome.
