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.

You'll meet your local guide and small group of 25 or fewer people at a easy to reach location near the Colosseum (exact directions can be found on your voucher). There, you'll get a taste of what you'll see and experience before heading off to your skip-the-line entry at the Colosseum.

Your passionate Colosseum guide will share fascinating stories about this ancient Roman attracti...

50 years ago we saw the colesseo from the outside. This time we did it much better including including waking on the gladiators floor and exiting the "winners" gate!

We had a party of 7 with two kids and two seniors and everyone thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Eleonora! She was very insightful showing us before photos from a book so we could appreciate the ruins. We ended up buying the book in the gift shop it was so cool! It was a hot and crowded day, but she found us shade along the way and used the time to educate us on what we were about to see. I recommend this tour.

Great Coliseum Tour
