What to expect

Retrace the glorious past of Ancient Rome by visiting the monumental Colosseum and stepping into its arena during this private tour with a local guide. You’ll get to relive a piece of an empire’s history and culture at the largest amphitheatre in the world. Listen to stories and legends of gladiator fights as described by your guide, who can cater the tour based on your interests.

Entering the reconstructed arena floor through the 'Death Gate', you'll travel back in time and envision an authentic gladiator experience. Your guide will be happy to tell you plenty of stories about the Colosseum's history, anecdotes about the most important gladiators, and myths surrounding the renowned amphitheatre.

Your tour will begin in the archaeological area, where you'll have the chance to see and take photos of significant sites such as the Arch of Constantine, built to commemorate ten years of the emperor's reign, Palatine Hill, the most ancient part of the city, and of course, the Colosseum.
