- Colosseum - While a trip to the Colosseum is a typical activity for those in Rome, our tour offers exclusive access to areas not commonly available to the public, such as the Colosseum underground and the Colosseum Arena floor.
Explore the Colosseum Underground, the area where gladiators, captives, and wild beasts were once readied for the life-or-death battles in the arena. Experience the intense atmosphere of the historic contests. This is a unique chance to be part of one of Rome’s most sought-after tours. For this segment, you and your personal guide will be part of a select group led by an official guide of the Undergrounds.
Next, you will step onto the Colosseum Arena Floor, an area with restricted access. Here, you’ll learn more about the events that took place during the amphitheater’s golden age, the behavior of the Roman Emperors, and their preferred seating areas. Experience the perspective of the more fortunate spectators from the first tier.
- Roman Forum - A brief stroll takes you to the Roman Forum, the hub of political life in ancient Rome. With the assistance of your private guide, envision the grandeur of the past and delve into the significance of the remaining ruins. Notable sites within the forum include the Temple of Julius Caesar and the House of the Vestal Virgins.
- Piazza del Colosseo - Your path to the Colosseum and the Roman Forum will take you through this historic square. The view you encounter is virtually unchanged from what the Romans would have seen centuries ago.
