Overview

Discover the "2-Hour Colosseum Arena Package" for an exclusive exploration of the Colosseum and Roman Forum. This unique experience grants you access through the special Gladiator entrance, directly onto the arena floor—a privilege typically reserved. Walk in the footsteps of Gladiators for an authentic taste of Ancient Rome, guided in English for intimate groups.

Delve into the history of how animals and gladiators once entered the arena, where dramatic battles unfolded before eager crowds. Imagine the adrenaline as you pass through the same gateway used by Gladiators over 2,000 years ago. After your Colosseum adventure, your guide will lead you through time into the Roman Forum, the heart of Ancient Rome adorned with monuments from the 7th century BC.
