It was nice being in a small group and Siriki, our guide, was awsome! He was so knowledgeable and answered all of our questions as they came up. He didn't just give facts and figures but told us stories to help us understand how it was to live in Roman times and what central roles the Colosseum and Forum played in everyday life at the time. We would highly recommend this tour and this guide.

The best part of our tour of the Colosseum, the Forum, and Palatine Hill was definitely our tour guide. She was knowledgeable and had a great way of delivering her message, even a little joke now and then. The sites are awesome inspiring given their age, construction, and purposes.

    Small group tour of 6 people. Nina was very informative and guided us around at what seemed a leisurely pace. Because we were a small group we didn't have to worry about being connected to headsets either which we much preferred.

    Claudia was a fantastic tour guide. She showed a lot of knowledge and passion about the history of Rome and the colosseum. The tour was very thorough and loved being able to see different levels of the colosseum.
  • You will enter the iconic monument from the newly-opened Gladiator's Entrance, giving you a unique vantage point of the Colosseum. This allows you to slip past the long lines at the main entrances and enter from the back. Marvel at the impressive architecture as you walk past the Arena Floor, just like the gladiators who stepped out there for fights to the death. The partial reconstruction of the arena floor gives you a stunning view of the tiered ruins from where up to 80,000 spectators once cheered on for these gory fights.

    An expert English-speaking guide will accompany you and regale you with stories about the Colosseum. Varying from exotic staged hunts and mock sea battles, the true stories about this impressive monument are what legends are made of.
