WHY TAKE A PRIVATE COLOSSEUM TOUR?

One of the best ways to tour a city is with a local, and on your own time. LivItaly offers private tours so you can relax and see the sites with an expert guide who will tailor your itinerary specifically to your needs. A Private Colosseum Tour is a great way to navigate this historic monument at a leisurely pace so you can take the time to properly discover the ins & outs of the Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill and thoroughly explore your interests. A Private Colosseum Tour plus the Ancient City sites will let your imagination fly away!

ABOUT YOUR PRIVATE COLOSSEUM TOUR

Your day will begin at the central square of Piazza Venezia at the impressive Victor Emanuel Monument, right in the heart of Rome. On this comprehensive private tour you will learn about the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, the Palatine Hill and much more. You will begin your day with an overview of the history of Ancient Rome. Prepare to be amazed as you enter the extensive excavation site that is the Roman Forum. See ancient temples, theaters and government buildings which once was home to the epicenter of commerce thousands of years ago. Walk down the original ancient streets which Romans frequented on a daily basis, and imagine life in this bustling metropolis through the stories and gossip from your exclusive private tour guide. Your private Colosseum guide will give you a full picture of what conversations were like on Roman streets, what sort of trade took place here, and what made this relatively small-scale Forum the pulse behind the Roman Empire.

“My boyfriend and I took the private
tour of the Forum and Colosseum
with Thomas, a fun and very
knowledgeable young man from
England. It was simply EXCELLENT.
This is a 3 hours tour of pure fun
(and line skipping!!!!) through the
various forums and hills and the inside
of the colosseum. Time went by super fast!”
– Rebecca, New York, New York

Your journey continues with a leisurely walk up to the Palatine Hill. Imagine the imperial palaces as they towered over ancient Roman landscape. Enjoy walking through this peaceful excavation and hear about the luxurious life of excess lived by Ancient Roman rulers. Pictures and stories will help you understand the rich history of the once powerful Romans in the ancient world. After a thorough exploration, you and your private guide will continue to the icon of Rome – the Colosseum.

VR CARDBOARD GLASSES
One pair of LivItaly original VR cardboard glasses will be distributed and gifted to every two people on tour.

The cardboard glasses are completely optional to use while on tour, and travelers are advised to use at their own discretion due to safety concerns within the archaeological sites. In order to use the glasses, you are required to download the LivItaly app (via Apple or Android store) prior to the tour and bring the smartphone with the app on the day of the tour.

VR cardboard glasses by no means replace your tour guides efforts and descriptions and serve only as an enhancement to the tour. They are in no way, shape or form a video game, but instead offer 360-degree visual reconstructions of the architectural wonders that surround you.

SKIP THE LINE TO THE COLOSSEUM
Your Private Colosseum Tour includes direct access to the Colosseum, skipping the often long lines! Once inside you will get an up an close look at this amazing triumph of ancient engineering.

This is a comprehensive private tour perfect for curious minds of all ages!

Seeing the Colosseum, Forum and Palatine Hill will give you a solid idea of the power the ancient Roman empire once held, and will also give you an idea of the importance history plays on modern Rome. This extraordinary ampitheatre lies right in the heart of bustling city center still today.
