Overview

Avoid the standard tour group and immerse yourself with the Colosseum's 2,000-year history with this special access experience.

Inside the Colosseum you'll walk the same steps as gladiators, emperors, and doomed prisoners. Bloodthirsty Romans gathered in this ancient stadium of death to watch gladiator fights and executions, and your guide will explain every gory detail.
