4.8/5
13 reviews

Retrace the glorious past of Ancient Rome by visiting the monumental Colosseum and stepping into its arena during this private tour with a local guide. You’ll get to relive a piece of an empire’s history and culture at the largest amphitheatre in the world. Listen to stories and legends of gladiator fights as described by your guide, who can cater the tour based on your interests.

Accessing the reconstructed arena floor through the 'Death Gate', you'll travel back in time and envision an authentic gladiator experience. Your guide will be happy to tell you plenty of stories about the Colosseum's history, anecdotes about the most important gladiators, and myths surrounding the renowned amphitheatre.

Your tour will begin in the archaeological area, where you'll have the chance to see and take photos of significant sites such as the Arch of Constantine, built to commemorate ten years of the emperor's reign, Palatine Hill, the most ancient part of the city, and of course, the Colosseum.

    Nicole was wonderful, she was very insightful and friendly. The colloseum was everything I expected and more! The roman forum and paletine hill were equally breathtaking with some gorgeous views of Rome.

    Unsere Tour wurde kurzfristig auf Colosseum mit Attico geändert. Erst waren wir skeptisch, aber dann begeistert. Agnes, unsere Reiselleiterin von Tui-Musement war einfach klasse. Sie hat den Besuch im Colosseum zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis gemacht. Sie hat uns sehr gut informiert, hat uns vieles erzählt, was wir noch nicht wussten, hat uns Zeit gelassen und war sehr nett und umgänglich.
