Carolina – Germany

The tour was interesting and the tour guide very knowledgeable and sympathetic! Absolutely recommendable if you want to get to know the history of the colosseum

J
John – United Kingdom

Our guide was very professional, knowledgeable and polite. The tour was a small group of 7 people which is the key to a great tour., too large a group and you get lost in the crowds. These venues do attract a lot of people so best advice is go early and make sure you are in a small group. The guide made the tour by stimulating your interest.

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 a dedicated door of the Colosseum and pass 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 number 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.
