Revel in an experience once reserved for gladiators alone as you walk through the ancient gates that lead to the Colosseum Arena Floor.

This carefully crafted itinerary includes the Gladiators Gate of the Colosseum and the Arena floor, plus the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill to give you a complete perspective on one of history’s most epic civilizations.

Not only will you be following in the footsteps of gladiators, you’ll also get a 360° panorama from where it was possible to see all 50,000 bloodthirsty spectators with a brilliantly executed narrative from a passionate guide.

After your guided Colosseum tour, you’ll head past the Arch of Constantine and into the Roman Forum.

You’ll never be a number in a small group of only 12 people or fewer. This Colosseum Tour allows for the personal attention you won’t find with larger groups.

Colosseum

If you’ve been dreaming about visiting Rome’s iconic Flavian Amphitheater then this gladiator’s Arena Colosseum Tour is for you. After avoiding wainting in long lines, and heading to this amazing edifice’s backdoor, a.k.a. ‘the gladiator’s entrance’, you’ll be treated to sections that are completely closed off to standard ticket-holders. Our Colosseum Tour with arena floor access lets you stand exactly where the heat of the action took place. Seeing the Colosseum from these totally unique perspectives is an emotional rush, heightened by the captivating historic narrative supplied by your passionate guide, who’ll separate fact from myth on one of the most intriguing sites in the world. Find out what each area of the Colosseum was used for, the engineering feats behind every brick, and how this bloodthirsty ring reflected the political and social values of Ancient Rome herself.

Following your exclusive Colosseum tour, we'll visit the adjacent triumphal arch – a towering masterpiece in white marble, which brims with intriguing details. Emperor Constantine had the monument erected in 315 AD to commemorate his victory over Maxentius a few years earlier – a battle he claimed to have won with the help of Christ himself. Despite his assertion, there are no Christian symbols in the arc. Instead, there are statues of Dacian prisoners and reliefs picturing Marcus Aurelius giving bread to the poor. The inside of the arch shows Emperor Trajan’s victory over the Dacians.

    Manuela was a great guide. Being a former archeologist, she could speak about the Colosseum and Palatine Hill with an archeologist's insight. The whole tour was fascinating. I would definitely do it again.

    This experience is well worth it! We had John as our tour guide and he did an excellent job at explaining things and even showing us pictures of how things used to look compared to how they look now. He was easy to understand and very detailed in his explanations. I would highly recommend this experience, especially if John is showing you around!

    We were supposed to be on a small group tour and was fortunate to be the only couple on the tour. We were told by the tour guide that this operator takes the word small seriously. They never have more than 6-8 people. Our guide Robert was well versed, took us slowly without rushing us, answered all our questions and was truly enjoyable to be with. The tickets to get on the arena platform IS A MUST!

    Carlotta our guide was fantastic. She answered any questions perfectly and was so knowledgeable about all that we saw. The Coliseum was all that we had hoped for and more. The perfect tour.
