This tour offers special access to the Colosseum’s arena floor, where you’ll walk directly onto Rome’s most iconic stage. Stand where gladiators once fought. Close your eyes for a moment and take yourself back in time. Listen to the cheers of the crowd, the roar of exotic beasts. Rise to the clamour of great battles reinacted.
One of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Colosseum remains a cultural and architectural marvel. Here, your expert, local guide will transport you through millenia of the Colosseum’s spectacular history, from its bloody origins as a gladitorial amphitheatre in 80CE to its dedication as a church in the 18th century.
Beyond the Colloseum, your guide will take you through the Roman Forum, once the political, commercial, and spiritual core of our ancient city. From the Senate House to the Temple of Julius Ceasar, from the House of the Vestal Virgins to the Arch of Titus, every step on this journey will bring you closer to Rome beyond the ruins.
Ascend Palatine Hill where Rome’s emperors once lived. Take a stroll in the shade of the Farnese Gardens’ majestic umbrella pines, and wander amongst the imposing ruins of imperial palaces. The views from Palatine Hill are as glittering as Rome itself.
