Begin your journey at the Colosseum, the world’s most famous amphitheater, with an official guide who brings the history of ancient Rome to life. Step back in time to the era of gladiators, emperors, and monumental public spectacles as you explore this iconic structure. Your guide will lead you through fascinating stories of the Colosseum’s construction, its cultural and political significance, and the ways it shaped Roman society, providing a deeper understanding of one of the greatest engineering feats of the ancient world.
This tour grants special access to areas not available to regular ticket holders, including the underground level where wild animals were held before being released onto the arena and where gladiators awaited their turn to fight. Learn about the innovative machinery and techniques the Romans used to create the spectacular games, including lifts for animals and special effects, and gain insight into the elaborate planning behind these incredible events. Standing in these restricted areas allows you to fully appreciate the scale, ingenuity, and drama of Roman entertainment.
In addition to the Colosseum experience, your ticket includes admission to the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, where you can explore the ruins of temples, public buildings, and imperial palaces at your own pace. While these sites are self-guided, they offer a unique glimpse into the political, social, and architectural heart of ancient Rome. Keep in mind that schedules may change, so check your email regularly for updates, ensuring you make the most of this immersive and unforgettable exploration of Rome’s legendary landmarks.

You can't visit Rome without visiting the Colosseum! Even just a walk around the outside (for free) will give you a sense of how huge it is!
Visiting the Colosseum was an experience of a lifetime. I recommend anyone who is able to go to Rome to stop and visit the Colosseum.
For the best colosseum tours in Rome you can’t go wrong. The company offers skip the line colosseum tickets and excellent tour guides. We learnt all about the ancient amphitheatre including the original name of the colosseum and How long it took to build the colosseum and who built the arena, as well as the gladiators and wild animals used for the gladiator fighting games and shows. Also colosseum visiting tips were offered via email prior to our Rome trip. We enjoyed the tour of the Roman Forum and Palatine hill also. Meeting by the colosseum metro was easy. Next time we will do the colosseum underground tour which allows access to the dungeons. This travel agency is definitely recommended for Rome colosseum tours and activities who was great with our kids
Colosseum tours in Rome provided a great experience of the iconic ancient amphitheatre. The 3 hour Roman forum, palatine hill and colosseum tour with Flavio was fun and informative. Meeting at the colosseo metro was easy. Highlight was the visit to the underground tunnels where the animals were kept and the Colosseum arena floor used for gladiator battles. Touring one of the new 7 wonders of the world was the highlight of our trip to Rome. Grazie Colosseum tours Rome
