Full description
Get privileged access to the Colosseum by skipping the long ticket line and entering through a separate entrance.  Enter through the Gladiator’s Gate, the stage door of the Colosseum, to swiftly access the arena floor.  Visit the usually inaccessible arena floor of this monument, which is listed as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Standing since the 1st century, surviving earthquakes and stone robbers, the landmark could hold over 50,000 spectators. Explore this restricted area of the ancient landmark with your expert guide. Stand right where the games took place and imagine standing in front of the roaring crowds. After the tour, head to the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, where your guide will ensure your entrance and leave you to explore in your own time. Feel free to ask your guide for personal tips.

This was the best way to see the Colosseum. It was a great experience. The guide was a archaeologist and had so much information to share. We also were able to skip the line to enter. I didn't believe the long line until we finished the tour and saw it!! Wow! Those people had to wait in the longest line and hand no guide to explain all the detail. We had two children with us, 8 and 12 years old and they enjoyed it. 10 stars for this tour!!!!

We were unable to secure reservations for the Colosseum (a must) through their online system so I booked this tour through GYG. The guide was very knowledgable and the group was small enough that we weren't overwhelmed. She was able to get us in and out quickly and helped us with entrance to the Forum. We would book this trip again and would definitely recommend it to family and friends. We did have a little trouble finding the meeting location (the particular spot within the larger location), but we did eventually find it.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and professional. She led us to the best locations for photos and gave us time to get our best shots. We did not feel rushed. She provided the history of the coliseum and pointed out interesting facts, as well highlighted tidbits of significance relating to the area.
