Colosseum Arena Floor small-group tour with Forum and Palatine Hill

You'll experience Ancient Rome on a small-group tour limited to a maximum of 10 people. With a local guide, you'll visit the Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill while discovering the stories, people and events that shaped the Roman Empire.

First, you'll enjoy access to the Colosseum Arena Floor through the legendary Gladiator's Gate and stand where gladiators once fought before thousands of spectators. You'll then continue to the first and second tiers, where panoramic views provide excellent photo opportunities and a different perspective of this iconic monument.

The tour continues through the Roman Forum, the political, religious and commercial centre of ancient Rome. As you walk along the Sacred Way, you'll see the remains of temples, basilicas and public spaces while learning how emperors, senators and citizens influenced the development of the empire. Your guide will bring the site to life with stories, anecdotes, and insights.

You'll finish on Palatine Hill, traditionally regarded as the birthplace of Rome and once home to the city's emperors. Here, you'll explore the remains of imperial palaces, hear the legend of Romulus and Remus, and learn about historical figures including Julius Caesar, Mark Antony and Cleopatra.

Designed for first-time visitors and history enthusiasts alike, this tour offers an introduction to three of Rome's most important archaeological sites in a small-group setting.
