About this experience

Revel in an experience once reserved for gladiators alone as you walk through the ancient gates that lead to the Colosseum Arena Floor. This carefully crafted itinerary includes the Gladiators Gate of the Colosseum and the Arena floor, plus the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill to give you a complete perspective on one of history’s most epic civilizations. Not only will you be following in the footsteps of gladiators, you’ll also get a 360° panorama from where it was possible to see all 50,000 bloodthirsty spectators with a brilliantly executed narrative from a passionate guide. After your guided Colosseum tour, you’ll head past the Arch of Constantine and into the Roman Forum. You’ll never be a number in a small group of only 12 people or fewer. This Colosseum Tour allows for the personal attention you won’t find with larger groups.

  4. 4

    Overshadowed by the Colosseum and Roman Forum, in reality, it’s the Palatine Hill that casts its shadow over both. Legend says it was here that Romulus founded Rome, setting the history we all know in motion, and the archaeological record confirms settlements began on this hilltop as early as the 8th century BC.
