About this experience
Enter the Colosseum through the restricted entrance of the Arena Floor. During our 2/5-hour tour, your guide will walk you through the Colosseum, while explaining the true brilliance behind its engineering. Your tour will then lead you on a journey through the Palatine Hill and the Roman Forum where you will be able to admire the incredible ruins, and enjoy panoramic views of the Colosseum. Learn the history behind Rome's magnificent amphitheater and all that surrounds it. The iconic structure was built as a gift to the Roman citizens, to stage various forms of entertainment and to showcase Roman engineering techniques to the rest of the world. The Colosseum featured over 80 entrances and could accommodate around 50,000 spectators. When the Colosseum was in active use, festivals as well as games could last up to 100 days.
