Description
A three-hour legendary Colosseum tour for Gladiators. Learn about the history.
The signature Colosseum tour is straightforward and high quality— it takes no more than a few hours yet leaves you with an unforgettable experience at one of Rome's most famous landmarks and arenas. Let yourself be guided by an art history licensed expert who will lead you through this legendary place as if you were back in Roman times, all while enjoying the small group tour privileges and comforts.
Say hello to your escort at the Colosseum and get ready to plunge into the history of ancient Romans tradition! You are about to step inside the world's most ancient amphitheater, best preserved ever and photographed more than any other.
Experience a brief overview of the Colosseum's history: discover the purpose behind its construction and delve into the details of the renowned "Roman Games" that were organized as a show of victory, conquests over foreign lands, imperial grandeur— or even as entertainment during times of famine and adversity. Legendary combats and notable gladiators await your discovery!
Embark on a journey through the legends of Gladiators at the tribunes— picture yourself as a thrill-seeking spectator or even an Emperor presiding over the brutal spectacle. Visualize wild beasts pitted against enslaved heroes while you make life-or-death decisions based on wagers; your simple thumb gesture determining the fate of another soul, all at your command.
An exceptional tour of the Colosseum, where you are able to get a full immersion into the history and anecdotes, and feel the atmosphere of this incomparable Roman monument like never before.
Throughout your journey, the Roman forums will be freely available to you; therefore, if you have additional time at hand you could either roam inside the Arena or enjoy a leisurely stroll along the Roman forums. Take this opportunity to observe the Arch of Titus and the numerous other ruins such as the temple of Vespasian, Saturn, and Antonius Pius — each with their own unique grandeur — located at the emperor sites on ground level.
Ideal for supplementing our walking excursion or accommodating time-restricted individuals— or perhaps those desiring autonomy post-guide induction. Thumbs up for our Colosseum tour!
