Colosseum and Arena, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill Guided Tour

This guided tour is one of the most complete and exciting ways to discover ancient Rome. The tour starts at the Colosseum, where you will enter directly into the gladiatorial arena, an exclusive area that allows you to see the amphitheatre from a completely different angle to the conventional entrance.

Once inside, you will travel back in time to the Roman Empire with a professional archaeologist. With his explanations, you will understand why the Colosseum was much more than a place of entertainment: it was a masterpiece of engineering, a tool of political power and a symbol of the greatness of Rome. You will learn about the techniques that made its construction possible and the social reasons that led to the erection of such an imposing monument.

The arena is one of the most impressive parts of the tour. From this space, where fights and shows used to take place, you will be able to imagine the tension of the public, the entrance of the gladiators and the magnitude of the games that made the Colosseum famous all over the world.

After the visit to the amphitheatre, the tour continues to the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill, where you will enjoy a guided tour of the archaeological heart of the city for about an hour. You will walk along the same paths that citizens, senators and emperors walked, surrounded by temples, ruins and ancient places of power.

On the Palatine Hill you will discover the place where legend has it that Rome was founded by Romulus and Remus. This hill, which later became one of the most prestigious areas of the city, also offers spectacular views of the Colosseum and the Circus Maximus, a perfect end to an experience full of history, emotion and great panoramas.
