Rome: Colosseum Arena Floor, Roman Forum & Palatine 10 pax｜Italy

Enjoy the most exclusive area of the Colosseum, where most visitors cannot access: the Colosseum Arena Floor. You will stand on the central sand-covered wooden platform where the fights took place (‘arena’ was the Latin word for ‘sand’). Access through the special Gladiator's Gate, used to carry away the dead bodies of gladiators and animals. So be sure to have your camera ready to take amazing pictures on the Colosseum. Learn more about its history, the bloody games it hosted, and loads of anecdotes and curiosities. For example, why is the Colosseum called Colosseum?

After visiting the Arena floor, the tour will continue on the FIRST AND SECOND TIERS of the Colosseum. Here, the PANORAMIC TERRACES will give you an excellent opportunity to take more stunning photos and admire the monument from a privileged position.

Finally you will access the archaeological area of the ROMAN FORUM, the political, administrative and social heart of Rome, today one of the most extraordinary archaeological areas, where the illustrious past of the city echoes in the suggestive ruins of its ancient monuments. Here your knowledgeable guide leads you on a journey through history.
Explore the public spaces, sacred temples and market areas where the daily life of the Romans unfolded. Admire the Basilicas in the Roman Forum where the great administrative trials took place and the great orators made their famous speeches. Walk along the Sacred Way where the religious processions paraded; pause in the Temple of Vesta where the Vestal Virgins guarded the sacred fire of the city and kept it alight. History has never been so alive!

Finish your journey through history among the majestic ruins of the PALATINE HILL, where Romulus is said to have founded the city in 753 B.C. You will discover the glorious past of Rome, the life of Mark Antony, Cleopatra, Julius Caesar, the luxurious residences of Roman emperors and their daily life. There is no more exclusive or entertaining way to step back in time and immerse yourself in Ancient Rome’s history.
