Description
Our goal is to make the best tour experience for our customers, and this tour will give you access to an exclusive area of the Colosseum: the Arena floor. We set a limit on our group size so that the tour guide has time to answer the questions of every one of the tour participants and it's easy to interact. We choose our guides carefully, to give the best possible experience to our guests. Immerse yourself in ancient Roman history and grasp the wonders of what this ancient site has to offer, walking in the gladiator's footsteps and exploring amazing places with a local guide that will be happy to share their knowledge with you!

Itinerary
Enter the Colosseum through the dedicated group entrance and go directly onto the Arena Floor. If you truly want to immerse yourself in the Eternal City’s millennia of history, there is no better place to start than the Arena Floor. From here you’ll also get a 360° view of the building, while your guide will tell you everything about its history, the games that happened there and lots of anecdotes!
After the Colosseum, explore the Roman Forum: the heart of the public life in Ancient Rome, with markets, courts, and temples: get ready to discover more about how life was in ancient Rome!
The Palatine Hill was the place where it all began: in fact, it was here that in 753 b.C. Rome was founded, and your guide will tell you the legend behind the city's foundation! Also, this is where the emperors built their residences, which ruins you can admire to this day

Tiziana was an amazing guide!! So funny and entertaining. Our kids love her. And the skip the line access was top notch! 10/10 recommend!!
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and personable. She navigated the crowded area with expertise and covered a lot of ground.
Hello Gail, Thank you for the feedback. We are happy to hear that you had a nice time touring with us. See you the next time you are in Rome. Best, Paolo
Fantastic tour. I think Raul could be the most knowledgeable Spaniard in Rome since Maximus Decimus Meridius. He did the tour in English and I could hear him perfectly with the ear piece. Even my teenagers enjoyed it.
Raul was an excellent tour guide. Knowledgeable and answered all the questions we had. He also brought a book to show what the coliseum and Palatine Hill looked like before and everyone wanted one. The tour of Coliseum and Palatine Hill was GREAT. All the movies I've seen when I was younger came to life. I would recommend this tour to everyone. BTW, I used Viator for all my day trips, prices were great and skip the line is a great plus.
A brilliant, funny and memorable tour! Alessandra was great and brought the sites to life, would 100% recommend
it was a really nice tour . the guide was energetic , amusing , and explained the history of the place really well which we enjoyed as we were walking. the staff was very hospitable and professional, one of the guys that was handing us the audio kit gave us a list of recommendations and nice unknown spots in Rome he knew about ,which we really appreciated . would definitely recommend.
Booked the Arena floor tour but never got to see it for some reason. Too bad because that was the only reason we wanted to go with a guided tour. I got a call the day before with a proposal for an alternative day but that did not work out for us. Guide was a real nice guy and very knowledgable. We found it way to crowded at 11:00 a.m., really uncomfortable and left the tour even before we got to the forum.
Excellent tour with Radu, he is an amazing and very knowledgeable tour guide. Very well organised and informative tour
Alessandra our guide was very good Very prepared, charismatic and kind. If I had to do the tour again, I would make sure he was there. Thanks again for the wonderful experience and for the cultural contribution offered. Massimo, Serena, Federico and Vittoria
If you truly want to experience the Colosseum, sign up for this tour with Radu He is so passionate about this history and tells the story in a way in which it comes alive - you can imagine being there 2000years ago watching the Gladiators Don't miss this tour while you're in Rome!
