Overview

Step into the world of Ancient Rome and trace the legacy of one of history’s most powerful civilizations, whose influence can still be felt in architecture, engineering, language, and culture today.

At the heart of this small-group tour stands the Colosseum, the enduring symbol of Roman power and spectacle. Nearly 2,000 years after its construction, its monumental structure still reveals the extraordinary ambition of the ancient Romans.

Step onto the Arena Floor, where gladiators once fought before thousands of spectators. From here, admire a striking view of the amphitheater and look down into the underground chambers where gladiators, animals, and stage equipment were prepared for the games.

Continue through the Roman Forum, once the beating heart of the ancient city. Among temples, triumphal arches, and public buildings, your guide will bring to life the stories of emperors, citizens, and the events that shaped Rome.

  • Colosseum reservation fee (valued at €2 per person)
