Excelente experiencia, acompañados por un guía que tenia mucha pasión al explicar todos los rincones que encierra al Coliseo y el Palatino!!

Start up at the meeting point was very chaotic and unclear. We had to wait for a long time until our guide arrived - which was worse because it was pouring with rain. And then he said in the audio guide we had to come without saying where he was. We had no idea where to look in the crowd. Apart from that the guide was friendly and knew a lot. Safety procedures before entering the Colosseum are intense - just good to know, no fault of the tour company.

Fue un experiencia excelente, de la mano de Adelaida, una guía estupenda, muy pedagógica y atenta con todo el grupo. Sin duda que la recomendaré a ella, a cualquier persona que viaje a Roma y coja este tour

En general esperaba un poco más de organización. Estuvo lloviendo el día que fui, pero en general me pareció poco organizado y me hubiese gustado un poco más de explicación de nuestra guía.

La guida molto preparata e professionale nonostante avessimo due bambini li ha resi partecipi e non si sono stancati o annoiati. Attenta alle esigenze di tutti i partecipanti!

Your experience

A day in the life, gladiator-style

Walk past the crowds smoothly with your guide into the mighty Colosseum, ready to see and learn everything. The depth of its history embedded in the many-tiered structure is as vast as the monument itself. Watch out for goosebumps as you walk through the Gladiator Gate. Enter the Arena, which once hosted epic historical battles, and don't forget to greet the Arch of Constantine.

View the senator seats up close, from where the royalty entertained themselves to bloodthirsty quarrels. Peek down from the edge of the Arena's floor to discover chambers that once contained wild beasts and pathways the gladiators took. Walk through the entire circumference of the Colosseum, and try to picture it when 80,000 screaming Romans occupied it.

The Roman Forum and Palatine Hill

Step away from the glory of the Colosseum to the Roman Forum, to discover the center of political and social life in Ancient Rome. Visit a vantage point with equally enriching views and history. Learn about it from your guide and take some time to explore it on your own. Next up, trek to the top of Palatine Hill for unparalleled views of the Forum and Circus Maximus.
