Rome: Colosseum Arena Floor, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill Tour
Overview
Immerse yourself in Ancient Rome on a group tour of the Colosseum, Forum and Palatine Hill. Enjoy the company of an expert tour guide, who will bring these incredible sites to life and answer all of your questions.
Your tour begins at the Colosseum and walk straight into the global icon of Rome. With special access to the arena floor, stride out through the gladiator’s gate and stand where the gladiators fought for their lives. Look down into the arena dungeons and gaze skyward to see the immense Colosseum all around you. Continue on to the Roman Forum, the social, political, and religious hub of Ancient Rome. Feel transported back in time as you admire the towering ruins that have survived millennia, and listen as your guide enthralls you with stories of political treachery and drama.
Complete your tour as you climb the Palatine Hill. Believed to be the founding place for Rome as a city, the hill became the richest neighborhood of Ancient Rome.
