Wow this tour was way cooler than I was even imagining! Our guide knew a ton of information about the gladiators and even showed us a stone that had an imprint from so much traffic in the Roman Forum! We were so captivated by her storytelling and wish that we could have stayed with her for longer. Well worth every penny!

Walking onto the arena floor was an unforgettable experience and felt like stepping back in time to ancient Rome. Our private guide was incredibly knowledgeable and painted such vivid pictures of what life was like for gladiators and spectators. The private nature of the tour meant we could ask plenty of questions, and we didn’t feel rushed at all. We also got access to areas most tourists don’t get to see, which made it feel extra special. If you want to truly appreciate the Colosseum, this is the way to do it!
