A discovery of the art and famed location that defines the beginning of
Rome, this tour of the Capitoline Museums, Capitoline Hill and
surroundings illustrates the legendary past of the Eternal City. From
Trajan’s Column in the Imperial Fora your guide will put the Capitoline
into context with the modern Victor Emmanuel II Monument (Il
Vittoriano), a major monument of Italy commemorating the Italian
Revolution and unification. From the Vittoriano you will walk
Michelangelo’s Renaissance staircase to Piazza Campidoglio atop the
Capitoline Hill where the ancient bronze statue of Marcus Aurelius
awaits you. One of the seven hills of Rome the Capitoline’s history
characterizes it as the first capitol of the Roman World and in fact it
is from this hill that we derive the word “capitol.”
With a thorough tour inside the Capitoline Museums you will explore the
oldest public museum collection in the world. Founded originally by Pope
Sixtus IV in 1471 the Capitoline Museums now house some of the most
famous and definitive pieces of art such as the Dying Gaul, Capitoline
Venus, original colossal bronze sculpture of Marcus Aurelius, Capitoline
She-Wolf, Bernini’s Medusa, and the colossal statue remains of
Constantine.
My Colosseum Tour, together with the Administration of the Colosseum,
Roman Forum and Palantine hill brings to you a Skip the Line,
comprehensive tour of the most significant sites of Ancient Rome. Our
MyColosseumTours are always done in small groups under 25 people and are
led by the Administration’s official tour guides who, apart from having
extensive backgrounds in art, history and/or archeology, are specialists
on the Colosseum, Palatine Hill and Roman Forum. The tour is provided
exclusively to MyColosseumTour’s clients, partners, and distributors.
Your tour will begin atop Colle Oppio with a panoramic view of the
Colosseum, modern Rome’s most recognizable landmark and one of Ancient
Rome’s most vital social centers. From there we will descend to our
special Skip the Line access to the Colosseum. Once inside, our expert
official guide will talk you through the bloody past of the amphitheatre
as you listen to tales of gladiators, mock sea-battles and executions.
After a brief rest at the Arch of Constantine, you will arrive at the
Palatine Hill- the most famous of the 7 hills of Rome. From here you
will admire the views of the Roman Forum and Nero’s Circus Maximus where
chariot races were once held. Romulus and Remus were said to have been
found on the Palatine by the she-wolf who nursed and raised them. Legend
holds that Romulus went on to found Rome. The last stop of the tour is a
walk along the “Via Sacra” or “Sacred Way” which is the main path
through the Roman Forum that once sparkled with festivals and triumphal
processions. It ends at the Temple which houses the altar where Julius
Caesar was cremated. Visitors from around the world still leave flowers
and candles at this site today.
Discover imperial and early Christian Rome by peeling back layers and
millenniums of history as you descend into the Eternal city’s
underground burial chambers, its long winding catacombs and its crypts.
Take a sip of history on Rome’s first wine tasting tour that transports
you out of the bustle of the city and into a haven encircled by the
vineyards and olive groves of the Frascati region.
You will discover Imperial Rome as the cradle for wine culture, where
the Nectar of the Gods went from an ambrosia for the elite to a common
pleasure.
