Overview

Guidekin summary

A longer private tour that trades the arena floor for the SUPER sites: the frescoed Aula Isiaca, the Loggia Mattei and the church of Santa Maria Antiqua at the foot of the Palatine, places most Colosseum tours never mention. Colosseum ticket, reservation fee and the extra sites are included at €325 per person.

From the guide

​​Walk in the footsteps of the gladiators, emperors, vestal virgins, slaves, soldiers, senators, and everyday Romans on this in-depth Colosseum and Roman Forum tour with exclusive SUPER Sites access.

With a top-rated guide, you’ll start your tour at the most iconic monument of the ancient world: the Colosseum.

Next, explore some of the fascinating archaeological SUPER sites of the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill: the imperial palaces, the underground Aula Isiaca, a richly frescoed hall dedicated to the goddess Isis, and more. Fully immerse yourself in the daily life and famous events of the Ancient Romans.
