What to expect
Visiting the Colosseum is a common thing to do while in Rome, but with us, we will bring you to special access areas that not everyone has the privilege of seeing, include the Colosseum underground and the Colosseum Arena floor. Descend into the depths of the Colosseum Underground, where Roman gladiators, prisoners and wild animals were prepared to enter the arena and fight for their lives. Feel the adrenaline-fuelled emotions of the famous games. Don’t miss out on this rare opportunity to enter one of Rome’s most exclusive and highly-requested tours. You'll then proceed to walk onto the exclusive access area of the Colosseum Arena Floor. Here, you'll be explained further of the going ons during the peak years of the amphitheatre, how the Roman Emperors used to act and where they used to sit. You will then get a taste of how the view was for the luckier spectators from the 1st tier.
Walk a short distance to the entrance of the Roman Forum and discover the ruins of the political center of Ancient Rome. Your private tour guide will help you understand how this place looked in its heyday and explain the beautiful ruins that remain to this day. Among the many places of interest within the forum is the Temple of Julius Caesar and the House of the Vestal Virgins.
You will walk along this Piazza in order to access the Colosseum and the Roman Forum. Nothing was added from the time of the Roman Empire, what you see, is more or less the view that the romans had in the past.
Admire the view of the most important Triumphal Arch of Rome dedicated to the Famous Emperor Costantine. This Arch represents a turning point of the Roman History and Art, a dividing line between the rise of the Christians and the decline of the Roman Empire.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
