The Best Colosseum Tours in Rome
<p>Nearly 2,000 years ago, the Colosseum—originally called the Flavian Amphitheater—was built using the spoils of war from Jerusalem. This architectural marvel once held up to 85,000 spectators who came to witness brutal gladiator battles, wild animal hunts, public executions, and even a mock sea battle. Today, this iconic arena is one of the most significant archaeological sites in the world, and a visit to the Colosseum also includes access to Palatine Hill and the Roman Forum, right in the heart of Rome. <p>For those looking to experience the Colosseum like never before, our Special Access Colosseum Arena Floor Tour allows you to walk through the Gladiator’s Gate and stand on the very floor where warriors once fought to the death. One guest said, “Standing on the arena floor was absolutely surreal—it’s the best way to experience the Colosseum!” <p>For an even more exclusive experience, our Semi-Private Colosseum Underground Tour takes you beneath the arena, exploring the underground dungeons where gladiators and animals awaited their fates. This tour also includes the arena floor and Roman Forum. As one visitor raved, “The underground access made me feel like I was stepping back in time—an unforgettable tour!” <p>If you want the full Roman experience, our Rome in a Day Tour covers everything from the Colosseum to the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel.
