What to expect

Dive into ancient history with an expert, English-speaking guide who will help you relive the glorious days of one of the most important monumental complexes in history. Take the opportunity to enjoy exclusive access to one of the world’s greatest attractions that includes the Arena and the Roman Forum, all packed into one unique tour that will surely take you back in time to the great Roman days.

Meet your licensed, English-speaking guide at the Arch of Constantine before entering the Flavian Amphitheatre, better known as the Colosseum. This exclusive tour is limited to a maximum of 12 participants, ensuring a more personal and immersive experience.

This incredible monument holds several records: it is the largest and best-preserved Roman amphitheatre in the world, with tiers that once accommodated up to 75,000 spectators. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Colosseum is also part of the ancient centre of Rome and is proudly listed among the New Seven Wonders of the World.

With this small-group tour, you'll explore the first and second tiers of the Colosseum and enjoy the rare privilege of stepping onto the arena floor—a unique experience that most visitors don’t get. Regular entrances only allow access to the edge of the arena, but you'll walk where gladiators once stood, battling wild beasts and facing epic fights that thrilled the roaring crowds during grand spectacles hosted by the emperors.
