Overview

As you walk through Porta Libitinaria, the Gate of Death, you begin this unique tour in the heart of the action. History's most notorious stadium, the Colosseum, opens up in front of you, with an unbeatable view in this restricted area. With a small group of fellow adventurers, this is as close to Ancient Rome as you can get!

Then, you'll explore the luxurious Palatine Hill, still dotted with the remains of palaces and luxurious homes, and the Ancient Roman Forum. Known as the empire's cultural, social and commercial heart, the Forum was a bustling hive of energy and is now a feast for explorers and history buffs alike.

So what are you waiting for? Let's explore the real Rome!

*Please note we will either start with the Colosseum or the Roman Forum/Palatine Hill depending on the time of tickets we can purchase*
**Colosseum admission is free on the first Sunday of the month. Tours are discounted on these days.**

What To Expect

Colosseum

Enter where the Roman fighters would only exit... through "Libitinaria" The Gate of Death! You will take a unique passageway with special access through the side of the Colosseum while avoiding the public crowds at the main entrance. Stand upon the reconstructed Arena floor in the centre of this ancient fighting pit. Walk in the path of Rome's famous Gladiators and have your expert guide tell their stories and famous events that occurred inside the colossal walls of the Colosseum.
