DATE SCHEDULE PEOPLE Total price Book

Full description Step into the heart of Ancient Rome with exclusive access to the Colosseum arena floor. Begin your journey at the Gladiator’s Gate—where warriors once entered the fight—and walk directly onto the arena, a restricted area not typically open to visitors. Feel the adrenaline of the past as your expert guide brings to life the dramatic history of this world-famous amphitheater.

Explore the first and second tiers of the Colosseum for panoramic views and stories of epic battles, roaring crowds, and the political spectacle of Roman entertainment. Then, follow the footsteps of emperors and citizens alike across the ruins of the Roman Forum, once the center of daily life in ancient Rome.

Continue to Palatine Hill, one of the oldest parts of the city and the mythical birthplace of Rome. Discover the homes of emperors and the remains of luxurious palaces, temples, and gardens. If you join the 3:30 PM tour, you’ll enjoy added access to the SUPER Sites—exclusive archaeological treasures typically off-limits, such as the House of Augustus with its stunning frescoes.

Choose the 9:00 AM or 11:15 AM small-group tour (maximum 8 people) for a more intimate and personal experience. Or opt for the 3:30 PM departure to gain entry to hidden gems rarely seen by most visitors.
