In through the Gladiator's Gate and onto the arena floor with a licensed guide, for the view the crowds above never get, at €99 per person with the entry ticket and reservation fee included. No wheelchairs or scooters on this route, and only small bags get past security, with no cloakroom to leave anything in.
Meet your expert guide and without any further ado enter the Colosseum, the architectural marvel that has stood tall since 72 AD and once accommodated over 50,000 roaring spectators. Feel the thrill as you enter through the iconic Gladiator's Gate, also known as the “Gate of Death”, and step onto the Arena floor, the very heart of ancient Rome's gladiatorial battles. As you stand where history's fiercest warriors once fought, your guide will vividly bring to life the importance, significance, fascinating truth about the games.
With the Colosseum behind you, you'll venture further into the past as you explore the Roman Forum, the bustling hub of ancient Rome's social, political, and commercial life. Marvel at the well-preserved ruins and imagine the grandeur of Rome in its heyday, with temples, basilicas, and public spaces that date back to the 7th century BC.
The tour culminates on Palatine Hill, offering panoramic views of the Forum and the modern city of Rome beyond.
