Reaching the Colosseum’s Arena Floor is no easy feat; tickets sell out quickly, leaving most visitors stuck in crowded corridors with limited views. With us, bypass the lines and enter through the Gladiator’s Gate to stand on the Arena Floor, giving you a front-row view of Rome’s nearly 2,000-year-old symbol of power and glory. With your friendly guide, uncover the Colosseum’s brutal past, then continue to the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill to explore the epicenter of ancient Roman life.

Guide tips
Your tour begins at the Colosseum
Meet your guide and small group right outside Rome's 2,000-year-old amphitheater. Look for the exact location on your booking voucher.
Colosseum
Using your priority ticket, you'll bypass the long lines and enter the world’s largest ancient amphitheater through a special entrance reserved for small groups.
Arena floor
Next, you'll enjoy exclusive access to the Colosseum’s Arena Floor by entering through the Gladiator’s Gate. Stand where gladiators once stood and imagine the fear and adrenaline of the warriors and wild animals who fought for the delight of the Roman public.
First and Second levels
After exploring the ground floor, your guide will lead you up to the first and second levels, once reserved for the Roman elite. From these elevated vantage points, you'll get an unobstructed, panoramic view of the Arena Floor and learn about the fierce battles that took place below.
Arch of Constantine
You'll exit the Colosseum and gaze up at the towering Arch of Constantine, a massive, intricately designed marble structure. Learn about its construction and how it famously honors Emperor Constantine’s victory at the Battle of Milvian Bridge.

We were very happy with our tour of the colosseum and forum! There is so much to see you could easily spend a few days in just this small section of Rome. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history and we benefited from it. Thank you!

Our tour was great. Our guide was very knowledgeable and able to share that with our small group despite the crowds. She led us through the colosseum with details we would not have otherwise known. This tour was worth the cost.

This was my second trip to the Colosseum and Paletine Hill. We did not use a tour guide on our first trip but this time we did. I highly recommend using a tour guide. Daniel was very friendly and knowledgeable. He showed us things and taught us things that we missed on our first trip.

Our tour of the Colosseum, Palatine zHill and the Roman Forum was amazing. We had 3 hours with the best tour guide, Marzy, who was very informative and answered all of our questions. We traversed back in time almost 2,000 years which is very hard for Australians with such a young history. Great job to all involved 👍👏😁
Excellent Tour & Guide!
