Tickets to all three sites and headsets are included at €99 per person. The attic is not part of it. ## Overview One Tour, Two Perspectives. Experience the Colosseum at the heart of Ancient Rome with an expert guide. The Arena Floor is the core of this experience. Step onto the gladiators’ stage and admire the impressive structure of the hypogeum from above, understanding how the underground system powered the ancient games. Choose how deeply you wish to explore: Arena Floor Route (Max 12 Guests) Walk onto the “stage” of the amphitheater and enjoy panoramic views from the center of the Arena. Underground Extension (Max 7 Guests) Descend into the restricted tunnels of the hypogeum and discover the engineering behind the games. Both options include access to the Upper Levels, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill. Experience the Colosseum not as a monument, but as a living stage of history. ## Key facts - Price: from €99 per person - Duration: 2h - Rating: 4.87/5 from 238 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Operator: Roman Guides ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | Colosseum Arena Floor Tour | €99 / person | English | Small Group (Max 12 Guests): A carefully limited group size ensures better interaction with your guide and a more immersive visit.
