Experience the thrill of standing where gladiators once fought, on the exclusive Arena floor of the Colosseum. With special access that takes you through a reserved group entrance, you’ll walk directly onto the stage of history and into the heart of Ancient Rome.


Led by an expert guide, you’ll explore the colossal amphitheater, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, and hear stories of epic battles, roaring crowds, and exotic beasts brought from across the empire. As you move through the structure, you’ll see where Romans came to cheer, gamble, and marvel at the spectacle of power.


Your journey continues into the Roman Forum, the political and spiritual core of the ancient city. From the Senate House to triumphal arches and the Temple of Julius Caesar, where his ashes were laid to rest, each stop reveals layers of Rome’s storied past.


Finally, ascend the Palatine Hill, where emperors once lived in grandeur. Wander through shaded gardens and majestic ruins, uncovering the lives of Rome’s rulers—some brilliant, some notorious—all surrounded by views as timeless as the city itself.
