Tour Description

Experience the Colosseum Like a Gladiator

Maximize your Roman adventure with a semi-private Colosseum tour that offers fast-track entry and a chance to step directly onto the Arena Floor, a restricted area not open to standard ticket holders. As your expert guide leads you through the amphitheater, you’ll relive the excitement of ancient spectacles where gladiators fought for glory and freedom.
Stand where the emperor once sat and gaze into the Colosseum underground chambers, where wild animals and gladiators awaited their turn in battle. This exclusive access gives you a unique perspective on one of the world’s greatest monuments.

Brilliantly organised

As one of the busiest places in Rome, organisation was key.

You were not allowed in before your ticket time, but once you got in the queue for it, it moved swiftly.

We visited on an incredibly hot day, so found the shaded areas whilst walking around.

The history of the place was incredible - a must visit in Rome.

Like everything in Rome you have to pay

It is an amazing site definitely worth going. The only issue is the amount of people who bug you for tickets and won’t leave you alone and the ln there’s the price like everything in Rome you have to pay and it’s not cheap for a good visit to the colosseum your going to pay nearly €100 for a couple.
