Itinerary

Meet your guide outside the Colosseum

Your tour begins near the Colosseo metro stop, where your guide greets you beneath the towering stone arches of Rome's most famous monument.

Enter the Colosseum

Step through the ancient archway and into 2,000 years of history. Your guide fits you with headsets so you can hear every story clearly, even as crowds gather around this legendary amphitheater.

Explore the 1st level of the Colosseum

Walk the same corridors where Roman citizens once poured in for brutal entertainment. Your guide explains how the arena floor was built, where wild animals were kept below, and how the retractable awning shaded 50,000 spectators on game days.

Stand on the 2nd level overlooking the arena

Climb to the tier where Rome's wealthier classes sat and look down on the enormous arena floor. From this vantage point, you can imagine gladiators battling below, the roar of the crowd, and the emperor's thumb deciding life or death.

Learn about gladiatorial combat and naval battles

Hear the gritty details of gladiator training, the different fighter classes, and even the mock sea battles that flooded the arena floor. Your guide shares surprising facts about how these spectacles were organized and what happened behind the scenes.
