Overview

On this tour, you can visit the heart of ancient Rome with exceptional treatment! A special ticket will allow you to start this Colosseum’s visit right from its core: the stage (Arena). Yes, exactly where the gladiators would face their destiny and their fierce opponents in no-holds-barred duels and terrifying battles that would drive the Romans insane.

More than anywhere else, from the arena, you’ll appreciate Colosseum’s imposing structure conceived with exceptional modernity and impeccable engineering skills. The ancient world’s wonders still amaze contemporary. We will carry on by visiting the extended Roman Forum ruins the focal point of Romans' everyday life. Here is where they’ll meet to take carry of their businesses and to participate in public life. Last but not least, to have an overall view we have to reach the Palatine hill, Roman emperors’ residence from where they would decide the fate of the Roman Empire.
