Tour description

Walk in the footsteps of warriors.

Step beyond the ordinary tour experience and enter the Colosseum through the legendary Gladiator’s Gate, a rare privilege that offers direct access to the Arena Floor. Imagine the deafening roar of 50,000 spectators as you stand where gladiators once fought for their lives. With this exclusive entry, you’ll bypass the crowds and experience the Colosseum Arena from a truly unique vantage point. Please note: This tour includes only a visit to the Arena Floor and does not cover the rest of the Colosseum.

Go deeper into Rome’s ancient world at the Forum & Palatine Hill.

After exploring the Arena Floor, your expert guide will take you to the Roman Forum—the heart of political, social, and religious life in Ancient Rome. Wander through the ruins of grand temples, towering basilicas, and the Senate House, where decisions that shaped history were made. As you explore, hear fascinating stories of the emperors, senators, and common citizens who once walked these very streets.

Your journey continues to Palatine Hill, the birthplace of Rome itself.

Here, you’ll stand atop the very place where, according to legend, Romulus founded the city. As you take in the sweeping views of the Roman Forum and the modern city beyond, your guide will reveal the secrets of the palaces and emperors who made this hill their home.
