What's included

Itinerary

1. 1

   Colosseum

   2h

   During the special access sections of the tour, you’ll be accompanied by a guard who will open gates to grant you, and a maximum of 23 other guests, exclusive entrance access to the underground and arena floor. Making your way through the underbelly of the Colosseum, you'll see ancient history come alive through fascinating multimedia projections detailing the path gladiators took from their training area to the arena floor. You'll also be able to marvel at a collection of artifacts, including reproductions of the gladiators' famous armor made using the exact same materials and techniques as in ancient times. With your expert guide you’ll also have a full tour of the regular access areas of the Colosseum, including the first and second levels.

2. 2

   Roman Forum

   45min

   Then it’s on to the Roman Forum where you’ll hear about the political history of ancient Rome. Julius Caesar once led his triumphant armies on parade here, and it was also here that successive emperors plotted the growth of Rome.

3. 3

   Palatine Hill

   45min

   For those with an interest in history, the Palatine Hill is an unexpected highlight. Vastly underrated, the hill is a much quieter place, where your guide will point out the ruins of the world’s first palaces.
