Full description

Let us take you on a journey back in time to ancient Rome on a guided tour of the Colosseum! Our Licensed Private Guide will help you discover this famous landmark in the most exciting and efficient way, showing you details that most tourists miss and sharing amazing facts about the Colosseum’s history, architecture, and cultural significance. Step inside one of the Seven Wonders of the World!

Book a 2,5-hour private tour of the Colosseum with our Expert Guide and uncover almost 2,000 years of Roman history and cultural heritage. Visit the first and second order of the Colosseum, walk along the original stone pathways, and imagine the excitement of the spectators as they entered the world’s largest amphitheater. The first and second level offer a close-up view of the arena floor, so you can visualize the grandeur of the gladiatorial games, animal hunts, and other spectacular events that once captivated the crowds in the Colosseum. Our guide will share intriguing anecdotes and lesser-known facts about the cultural and political significance of these events and lives of the gladiators, and will show you the best spots for memorable pictures with the icon of Rome.

Choose the 4-hour option to book a 1,5-hour round-trip transfer and a 2,5-hour guided tour of the Colosseum. This option includes a two-way transfer between the meeting point and your accommodation in a private car, van or bus suitable for the size of your group. Book the convenient pickup and drop-off service in advance to save time and effort when visiting the nr.1 attraction of Rome.

Book a longer 5-hour tour to visit 3 of the most important sites in Old Rome: the Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill. The Roman Forum (Forum Romanum) was the center of day-to-day life in ancient Rome. Almost 2,000 years later, you can explore this vast excavated area of Roman temples, squares and government buildings to learn about the political, religious and social life of the Roman Empire. Your Private Guide will also show you the archeological site on the Palatine Hill, which has been called “the first nucleus of the Roman Empire.” Here, you will hear the legend of Romulus and Remus, the brothers who founded Rome, and find ruins of imperial palaces created for high Roman society. Highlights include the Domus Flavia, House of Livia, House of Augustus and Farnese Gardens.

Choose the 6,5-hour option to book a 1,5-hour round-trip transfer and an extended 5-hour guided tour of the Roman Forum, Palatine Hill and Colosseum. This option allows you to enjoy a full tour of the Colosseum complex with an additional service of a pickup and drop-off at your accommodation. We will arrange a professional driver and private vehicle exclusively for your group, so you can travel in comfort and enjoy a hassle-free experience of ancient Rome.
