About this tour
Explore the Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill with a licensed guide. Choose your experience: a guided tour of all three sites, an Arena upgrade, a private tour, or a Colosseum-only visit.
At the Colosseum, discover the first and second levels and hear stories of gladiators, emperors and the crowds who watched the games. With the Arena upgrade, enter through the gladiators’ gate and experience the amphitheatre from the arena floor.
Continue to the Roman Forum, once the political, religious and commercial centre of ancient Rome. Walk among temples, basilicas and triumphal arches as your guide brings the ruins and their history to life.
Then explore Palatine Hill, associated with Rome’s foundation and later home to the imperial palaces.
Check your selected option carefully: the Colosseum-only tour does not include the Roman Forum or Palatine Hill. Arena floor access and a private guide are available only with the corresponding upgrade.
