What To Expect
Colosseum
Visiting the Colosseum is a common thing to do while in Rome, but with us, we will bring you to special access areas that not everyone has the privilege of seeing, include the Colosseum underground and the Colosseum Arena floor. Descend into the depths of the Colosseum Underground, where Roman gladiators, prisoners and wild animals were prepared to enter the arena and fight for their lives. Feel the adrenaline-fuelled emotions of the famous games. Don’t miss out on this rare opportunity to enter one of Rome’s most exclusive and highly requested tours. You'll then proceed to walk onto the exclusive access area of the Colosseum Arena Floor. Here, you'll be explained further of the going on during the peak years of the amphitheatre, how the Roman Emperors used to act and where they used to sit. You will then get a taste of how the view was for the luckier spectators from the 1st tier.
Foro Romano
Walk a short distance to the entrance of the Roman Forum and discover the ruins of the political center of Ancient Rome. Your private tour guide will help you understand how this place looked in its heyday and explain the beautiful ruins that remain to this day. Among the many places of interest within the forum is the Temple of Julius Caesar and the House of the Vestal Virgins.

5.00Unfortunately the underground portion of the tour was cancelled due to over-scheduling. Although very disappointed, tour guide Michela made up for this by being very knowledgeable and passionate in her recounting of the history and construction of the Colosseum. There were only two other people in our group giving us the opportunity to ask as many questions as we wished. Michela acted as our personal photographer and knew the best locations for memorable pictures. She also kept inviting us to use our imagination to visualize what she was explaining. This was an awesome tour and we highly recommend it.

5.00We had Sikiri an archaeologist, who was fabulous. He was knowledgeable, intelligent and pleasant. He spent time giving background, factual data and current info. We spent adequate time on topics and just enjoyed both the forum and the Colosseum.
