Full description

Save precious time and skip the long lines to the Colosseum as you enter the world's most famous amphitheater. See a partially reconstructed section of the arena floor to imagine what the building looked like during the Roman Empire.

Follow your guide on an exciting journey through the history of the monument, and get a close-up view of the senator seats as well as the trap door where wild animals were released for bloodthirsty entertainment. From the edge of the arena floor you can look down into the underground area to see the chamber that held these wild animals and the pathways taken by the gladiators.

Enter through the gladiator's gate, stand on the arena floor, and see the Arch of Constantine.

Learn how the building was brought to life. Hear about the battles that took place there over time. Relive the experience of the gladiators from an exclusive perspective. Then, go to the Roman Forum to discover the center of political and social life in Ancient Rome.

Scott was a great guide! He was well informed and allowed us to see and learn a lot without being overwhelmed. It was a good amount of walking, but nothing overly strenuous. We really saw everything with the exception of the houses within the Roman Forum. Scott had a deep knowledge of each space we saw and even some of the extra notes which made the tour that much better. My only small qualm was with timing. We were notified 3 days before (so at least somewhat advanced) that there was a time change to our tour group. That time change didn’t cause any major issues for our itinerary, but then the tour itself started a bit late as we had to wait on several late arrivals. That’s out of the company’s control, however, it caused the end of the tour to feel a bit rushed with an abrupt end. Nonetheless, we overall had a great experience and I would book again!

The guide was very knew the history of the Forum and Colosseum extremely well. The Forum area seemed to drag on a bit especially since the temperatures were so hot that day. We wound up at the Colosseum late to the planned time but that was shaded and felt much better after being in the heat so long. Otherwise it was a great tour.

Our guide was excellent. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and clear. You could tell that she had a lot of passion for the history and took the proper time to tell it to us. She also paused regularly to allow us to go off and explore the immediate area and take pictures before moving on - which was much appreciated. Our tour ended up taking 3 hours but I didn't mind at all, and barely noticed the 30°c heat because it was all so fascinating. Amazing experience, and I definitely would recommend!
