Why you’ll love this…
  • You'll stand where gladiators once clashed swords in the Colosseum

  • The tour brings ancient Rome to life through captivating stories
What to expect

Stand in the spot where gladiators once clashed swords and battles raged before throngs of spectators as you visit the Colosseum and get access to the arena floor. Afterward, learn what daily life was like in ancient Rome as you walk in the footsteps of everyday citizens among the ruins of the Roman Forum.

Meet your guide near the Colosseum, the gigantic arena that drew Romans from all walks of life to watch violent fights between gladiators and beasts. Enter the Colosseum and walk right onto the arena floor—an area not usually accessible to the public—and learn about the harrowing events that took place here for entertainment's sake centuries ago.

Spend a full hour exploring the rest of the Colosseum, from the ground floor up to the second tier, where you can see the Roman Forum from a distance before making your way across to Palatine Hill. You'll listen to your guide rebuild ancient Rome from the ground up through captivating stories. Hear tales of war, politics, and betrayal, and get introduced to some of the ancient world's larger-than-life characters as you roam around the markets, roads, and temples where the empire's citizens once lived, played, and prayed.
