Description

Meet your expert guide in a small group of up to 6 people and get ready to dive into the incredible history of ancient Rome. Begin your journey at the world-famous Colosseum, entering through a special gate that gives you exclusive access to the arena floor—the very stage where gladiators once fought for glory. Stand where the games took place and take in a stunning view of the nearby underground area from above, where animals and fighters were once held before battle. Next, your guide will lead you up to the first and second levels of the Colosseum. From here, enjoy panoramic views of the arena and the Roman skyline, including a breathtaking view from the so-called “Caesar’s balcony.” Along the way, your licensed guide will bring the monument to life with fascinating stories, historical facts, and vivid insights into daily life in ancient Rome. After the guided portion ends, continue your adventure independently with included entry tickets to the Palatine Hill and the Roman Forum. Walk in the footsteps of emperors, explore ancient temples, basilicas, and public squares, and take in the sweeping views over the ruins of what was once the beating heart of the Roman Empire. This experience offers a perfect blend of expert-guided storytelling and independent exploration, ideal for anyone looking to fully appreciate the grandeur and legacy of ancient Rome.
