Why choose this Rome tour ?
As you walk through Porta Libitinaria, the Gate of Death, you begin this unique tour in the heart of the action. History’s most notorious stadium, the Colosseum, opens up in front of you, with an unbeatable view in this restricted area. With a small group of fellow adventurers, this is as close to Ancient Rome as you can get!
Then, you’ll explore the luxurious Palatine Hill, still dotted with the remains of palaces and luxurious homes, and the Ancient Roman Forum. Known as the empire’s cultural, social and commercial heart, the Forum was a bustling hive of energy and is now a feast for explorers and history buffs alike.
So what are you waiting for? Let’s explore the real Rome!
*Please note we will either start with the Colosseum or the Roman Forum/Palatine Hill depending on the time of tickets we can purchase*
**Colosseum admission is free on the first Sunday of the month. Tours are discounted on these days.**

What makes VIP Access Small Group Colosseum Arena Tour a unique experience ?
Enter where the Roman fighters would only exit… through “Libitinaria” The Gate of Death! You will take a unique passageway with special access through the side of the Colosseum while avoiding the public crowds at the main entrance. Stand upon the reconstructed Arena floor in the centre of this ancient fighting pit. Walk in the path of Rome’s famous Gladiators and have your expert guide tell their stories and famous events that occurred inside the colossal walls of the Colosseum.
The most beautiful and important of Romes seven hills is the Palatine Hill. Discover the founding point of one of the greatest civilizations and explore the ancient ruins of the Imperial palace; let our guides unveil this spectacular archaeological site where the ruins, the towering pine trees and the spectacular views over the Circus Maximus and the Roman Forum make it a once in a lifetime experience!
The political, social, and commercial heart of downtown Rome is not to be missed! Walk the original roman roads (the via sacra and via nova) and weave between ornate arches, towering temples, and lots more!
