Full description
The arena floor is where people actually fought and died in the Colosseum. While most visitors only ever see it from the stands, you’ll bypass long, general entrance lines and step directly onto it via the special Gladiator’s Gate. As you marvel at the great amphitheatre around you, your expert guide will tell stories to transport you back nearly 2,000 years, when vicious blood sports were the most popular form of entertainment in Rome.
During your tour, you’ll also explore the rest of the Colosseum, including the first floor and the Roman Forum overlook. Then you’ll head into the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill to learn the wider history of Imperial Rome. Through the stories and anecdotes of your expert guide, the ruins will come to life and you’ll have no problem imagining the heyday of this incredible civilisation.
Our fully licensed, expert guides are the best in the business. Far from giving you rote history lessons, they pull you into the epic story of Rome and allow you to relive it with them, one step at a time.
