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 was my second time in the Coliseum but my first guided tour. The size of the group was perfect for maneuvering around and our guide was so helpful and knowledgeable! I'd do this tour again on a return trip because it was so fun and engaging! And there's so much to learn its almost impossible to remember it all in one trip! Don't miss out on the gladiator entrance with the chance to beat the crowd and see the historic place from a unique angle!

The tour was expensive so maybe buy in person rather than online. The tour ran smoothly and it was packed with information. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and attentive to each person. There was even enough time t the end of outer tour to hang around and take as many photos as needed.

Our tour guide was fantastic, very knowledgeable and kept the tour fun and moving along. Would like to mention a few thing that I could not find information about- in the information I got after signing up they said I would have to provide either proof of vaccination, proof of having had covid in the last three months, or a negative test within the last 24 hours. As I was on vacation and got into Rome that day, I was stressed that I did not have any of these. But when I got there they did not ask about any of these things. We also did not have to wear masks inside as they claimed. This should be taken off the website as it creates undue stress. Another thing is several people could not do the tour because they did not have ID for their underage children. Make sure you have passports or photographs of passports of your kids if you want to get into the tour.
