What To Expect

Colosseum

Experience the Colosseum like a gladiator by stepping off the beaten path and entering through their exclusive entrance onto the arena floor, a location typically restricted to tourists. This is the closest you can get to the action where real fights and deaths occurred. By utilizing the Gladiator's Gate, you'll bypass long lines at the general entrance and immediately step onto the arena floor. While surrounded by the stunning amphitheater, an expert guide will transport you back nearly 2,000 years with vivid stories of when brutal blood sports were the most popular form of entertainment in Rome. In addition to the arena floor, you'll also explore the first floor and Roman Forum overlook during the tour.
