Itinerary
Your tour begins at the Colosseum
Meet your guide and semi-private group near the base of Rome’s 2,000-year-old amphitheater. Your guide introduces the massive stone structure and the nearby Arch of Constantine. Learn how emperors used these grand monuments to show off their power to the people of Rome.
Enter the Colosseum through Gladiators Gate
Next, follow your guide through a mandatory security check before passing through the side entrance of the Colosseum, once used by the gladiators themselves. Then, step onto the exclusive arena floor, the stage level of the Colosseum. Standing on the wooden floor, look up at the rows of seats and imagine the roar of 50,000 spectators watching the games.
Explore the upper tiers
Then, your guide leads you to the higher levels of the amphitheater for the audience perspective and an overhead view of the maze of underground chambers. From these tiers, learn how different social classes were seated in ancient Rome and where the most important leaders sat to watch.
Visit the Roman Forum
Follow your guide into the valley that served as the busy center of the ancient city. Walk past the remains of the Senate House and the Temple of the Vestal Virgins while hearing stories about the daily lives and politics of ancient Roman citizens.
Ascend the Palatine Hill
Finally, climb the hill where legends say the city was first founded. Among the ruins of the grand imperial palaces, enjoy some of the best views of the city. Discover why the most powerful Romans chose to live in this neighborhood.
