Overview

This small-group tour is capped at 10 people maximum, so you'll explore with the intimacy and attention that large groups simply can't offer. Your expert guide takes you onto the Colosseum arena floor — one of the most exclusive areas of the entire monument — entering through the famous Gladiator's Gate, the same passage fighters crossed before facing the roar of tens of thousands of spectators.
From there, the tour continues to the Roman Forum, where temples, triumphal arches, and ancient ruins bring the heart of the Roman Empire back to life through your guide's expert storytelling.
