More Information About our Colosseum and Palatine Hill Tour

On this tour you will do much more than visit the Colosseum; you will visit the past as your tour guide paints a vivid picture of what it would have been like two thousand years ago to stand in the amphitheatre and watch the gladiatorial games or many of the other spectacles that took place there. Learn about the life of a gladiator and about the role the Colosseum played in the life of ancient Romans. Our expert tour guides’ passion for the Colosseum and extensive knowledge means that our guests can expect to learn much more than they would from the guide books or if they’d simply bought Colosseum tickets and explored it themselves. After your skip-the-line Colosseum Tour, your tour guide will take you around the Palatine Hill, which was the home of the high society and the government in Ancient Rome. Follow the footsteps of ancient Romans along Via Sacra in the Roman Forum, the political and cultural centre at the time.
