Overview

Enjoy a 3-hour guided tour of the Colosseum's Arena Floor and Roman Forum and Palatine Hill with your expert guide. Enter through the Gladiator's Gate, step onto the Arena Floor itself, and see the amphitheatre from the gladiator's perspective.

Choose between the following two group options:

SMALL-GROUP TOUR | MAX. 7 GUESTS
Choose this option for a more personal, semi-private experience in a small group of maximum 7 guests. With fewer people, it's easier to stay close to your guide, hear the explanations clearly, and ask questions along the way.

PRIVATE TOUR
Choose this option for the same 3-hour guided experience exclusively with your own private guide, with more flexibility and more opportunities to interact with your guide throughout the tour.

With both options, Colosseum access includes the Arena Floor only.
Access to the Regular Levels, Underground, and Upper Levels of the Colosseum is NOT included.

What's Included

  • Live expert guide & headsets to hear your guide clearly
  • Colosseum entry to the Arena Floor (€24)
  • Guided tour of the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill
  • Access to the Regular Levels, Underground, or Upper Levels (3rd and 4th tiers) is NOT included.
