Explore the Colosseum and the Roman Forum on a private tour with an expert guide. Walk at your own pace in the footsteps of the Gladiators and Caesars. Visit the Colosseum Underground and the Arena Floor, and see the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill.
Meet your guide and head to the Colosseum, the largest amphitheater ever constructed. Although built over 19 centuries ago, its structure remains largely intact. As you can imagine, it is a monument visited by millions of tourists. By joining this tour, you will get the opportunity to have the most exclusive Colosseum experience in a private tour.
Walk at your own pace in the footsteps of the Gladiators and Caesars. The relics, ruins, and sculptures that can be found throughout modern Rome are living reminders of the Roman Empire's centuries-long history, which spanned from present-day Portugal to Egypt.
The extensive history of this famous structure will be chronicled by your tour guide, an expert in Roman history with an array of anecdotes and stories. Travel down into the monument’s underground area. In these dark dungeons, the gladiators and animals were kept before the contests began.
As you visit the underground chambers, see the remains of what were once elevators, trap doors, and cages. Your guide will explain the purposes of the innovative stage equipment and describe a typical scene in the preparations for a Roman performance.
Another restricted area that this tour provides access to is the Arena Floor. As you stand in the sandals of Ancient Rome’s greatest fighters, enjoy panoramic views over the tiered seating of the monument as well as a beautiful view over the underground level.
From there, follow your guide to the ground floor level, where the Imperial Box was placed, and the second tier of the monument, reserved for the non-senatorial noble class.
From the Colosseum, your guide will take you to the Roman Forum, a place that served as the global headquarters of ancient economic trade. This ancient square included markets dedicated to the sale of cattle, pork, fish, and wine—vital industries in the ancient eras.
Important government buildings were surrounding the Roman Forum, and these included the Roman Senate. Your guide will explain how the Roman Forum displays the development of the Empire with various monuments originating in the different eras of Roman civilization.
No tour of Ancient Rome would be complete without a journey to the Palatine Hill, the center of the Seven Hills of Rome. According to a widely known legend, the city of Rome was founded on the Palatine Hill. For centuries, this place also served as the residence for several Roman Emperors.
