Description

Avoid the standard group tour and immerse yourself in the Colosseum's 2,000-year history with this tour’s special access to Ancient Rome. Access the sites through the guides' entrance, avoiding long waits at the individuals entrance and get to spending more time in the actual ancient ruins.

Walk in the same steps as gladiators, emperors, and doomed prisoners. See where bloodthirsty Romans gathered in this ancient stadium to watch deadly sports and executions and learn every detail from your guide.

Explore the Colosseum with special access to the arena floor where gladiators fought, while also allowing you free time for photos and self-exploration.

Discover the Roman Forum (Ancient City) and Palatine Hill (Cesar's Palace). Here, enjoy special access to secret passages used by the Emperor, and not open to the general public. Surrounded by picturesque ruins, visit ancient palaces, temples, tombs, the House of the Vestal Virgins, and the Senate house before finishing the tour at the tomb of Julius Cesare.

Conclude your tour in the center of Rome's ancient ruins, which are also conveniently located in modern Rome's city center; leaving easy access to local restaurants, cafes, and shopping.
