Full Description

Step into the world of ancient Rome on a private guided walking tour of the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill. Follow in the footsteps of emperors and gladiators as you descend into the Colosseum’s underground chambers, walk across the arena floor, and admire sweeping views from the upper levels.
Enter the imposing Colosseum and travel back in time with your dedicated private guide. Explore every accessible area of this extraordinary monument, including the restricted underground tunnels where gladiators prepared for combat and wild animals awaited their dramatic entrance. Access to this area is limited to a small number of visitors each day, making the experience truly exclusive.
Beneath the arena, discover the central corridor and smaller passageways used by gladiators and stagehands. Learn how the Romans used an ancient elevator system—now reconstructed—to lift animals and fighters onto the arena floor, showcasing the remarkable engineering skills of the Roman Empire.
Walk onto the arena itself, standing where historic battles once took place, and climb to the upper tiers to enjoy the same perspective once reserved for ancient spectators. As you explore, your guide will bring the Colosseum’s dramatic past to life with stories of epic spectacles, brutal contests, and the ingenuity behind one of the greatest architectural achievements in history.
Continue your journey through the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, once the political, social, and residential heart of ancient Rome. Stroll among temples, basilicas, and imperial ruins as your guide shares fascinating tales of emperors, politicians, ordinary citizens, and the legendary origins of the Eternal City.
