Your Itinerary

Largo Gaetana Agnesi

(Pass by)

You will meet your tour guide, with a sign with our company's name "ItalyBestExcursions" on the top, at: Largo Gaetana Agnesi (the terrace in front the Colosseum). From here you will have a view of the Colosseum. Then walk down to the massive Amphitheatre with your tour guide, and skip the main entrance line with your fast-track ticket. In just three hours, you’ll experience all that allowed Rome to endure so long – staying immersed in history the entire time, without wasting a moment waiting in line.

Colosseum

Visit of the Colosseum Skip-The-Line Tickets included, going to the second ring where you can admire a panoramic view of the insides of the monuments, overlooking the square below, with an overview of the large base and of the remains of the colonnade and the walls of the largest Roman Temple dedicate to Venus and Rome. With the street of the Imperial Fora on one side and the Arch of Constantine, the Palatine Hill and Via Triumphalis on the other side. Listening to stories from your tour guide about the brutal events that were once held here, like executions and gory gladiator battles. As you stroll around the perimeter of the amphitheater, try to image the ancient crowd of up to 50,000 spectators who cheered as gladiators’ fates were decided by power-hungry emperors.
