Colosseum Tour with Special Access to the Arena Floor, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill

From the time you walk through the Gladiator Entrance with your expert English-speaking guide to when they leave you inside the Roman Forum, you’ll travel in a small group of 15 through the most epic monuments of Ancient Rome. Modern life will fade away as you set foot in the Arena Floor where so many gladiators battled beneath the towering stands.

On its own, the Colosseum is an engineering marvel but from the perspective of a gladiator, it was a place of honor and glory. You’ll discover what it was like to stand in the center of the awe-inspiring arena with up to 80,000 eager Romans roaring while underground trapdoors sprang open to release other fighters and crazed wild animals. No other tour lets you experience this. After standing in the shoes of the gladiators, you’ll visit the stands to see how the bloodthirsty spectators saw it.

As you make your way around the Colosseum, you’ll understand what a typical day in the Colosseum was like. After 1.5 hours:

- If you selected the classic version of the tour, go with your guide to the nearby Roman Forum.
