Meet your guide outside the Colosseum for a brief introduction to Roman civilization in general, and the history of the monument's iconic façade. Then, skip the long lines to one of the most popular monuments in Rome and enter the Colosseum for a guided tour. Journey back to the days of the Flavian dynasty and hear how they built the world's largest amphitheater to showcase Roman engineering techniques. Walk through the arena with your guide as they explain the history of the monument, the people behind it, and what it was used for. Hear tales of gladiators who gallantly entertained the crowds. After the tour has ended, take as much time as you like to explore the rest of the permitted sections on your own.
