Full description
Visit one of Rome's most iconic attractions on a guided tour of the Colosseum. Learn about the rich history of this place, hear tales about the games that took place here, and enter through the gladiator gate to access the arena floor. Walk through the back door of the Colosseum and pass straight onto the arena floor through the gate named after Libitina, the goddess of funerals. Tread where dead gladiators and animals were once carried away. Feel the majesty of ancient Rome beneath your feed as you stroll over the steps of those who fought in gladiatorial combat. Enjoy astonishing 360-degree views of the Colosseum. Look up at ruins that were once filled with thousands of spectators. Snap excellent pictures, as a limited amount of visitors can be there for a given amount of time. Explore the general access area which includes the ground floor, the second tier, and a balcony with astonishing views over the Roman Forum and Arch of Constantine. Step onto the podium reserved for the most important Romans over the main entrance to the Arena and feel the thrill of the amphitheater. Let your guide paint you a picture of the past with engaging stories and legends. This is a Colosseum guided tour with special access to the Gladiator's Arena Floor. After you finish the guided tour you can take your time for another 30 minutes into the Colosseum and after wards you will be escorted to the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill which will be self guided ( no guided tour ).

We had a great tour and the guide was very informative, talking not just about what happened on the arena but how they constructed and still maintain the structure to this day. Not too much climbing of stairs required on this particular tour which was ideal for our party. Very enjoyable!

Absolutely incredible tour, it was amazing just seeing the Colosseum however I highly recommend a guided tour. Not only was our guide likeable, and entertaining but her knowledge was immense. We learnt so much and we wish we booked other guided tours for our trip to Rome. Thank you so much, I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Well worth the money

Our guide was great. She brought a real good mood with her. And had good anecdotes ready. It was fun listening to her. It's a good thing we booked access above. This gives you an even better impression of the arena and the entire Colosseum. The Roman Forum was gigantic - really worth seeing. But standing in line is really bad, even with tickets. You can only do it if you book the Colosseum early on a day. The area ends there at 4 p.m.! However, the ticket is valid for two days...
