    What To Expect

    Colosseum

    We'll begin the tour at the Colosseum, where you'll marvel at its architecture while I provide a thorough explanation of how ancient people were able to build a stone stadium, two millennia ago. We'll avoid the crowds and lines at the general entrance and instead enter through the privileged "Gladiator's gate". Next, you walk the same steps as gladiators on to the arena floor for exploration and photos before heading to the dungeons. The dungeons were the stadium's backstage, wild beast and gladiators were kept there before deadly fights.
