Guido, our guide, was excellent. Excellent storytelling way of describing the history of the Vatican, Museums and Sistine Chapel. He kept us very well informed and set clear expectations as we moved through the crowds. I would recommend his tours!

“Fantastic Experience at the Colosseum with Claudia from Gladiator Tours!” Our tour of the Colosseum with Gladiator Tours was absolutely incredible, and our guide Claudia made it even more special. She was extremely knowledgeable, passionate, and engaging throughout the entire tour. Claudia brought the history of the Colosseum and ancient Rome to life with her storytelling, making the experience both educational and enjoyable. She answered all our questions and provided fascinating insights that went beyond the usual facts. Her enthusiasm was contagious, and it’s clear she loves what she does. I highly recommend Gladiator Tours and especially Claudia for anyone visiting Rome. You won’t be disappointed!

We had an excellent guide through our tour of the museum and the cistine chapel. It was quite crowded on the day. Our guide kept our group together and explained all the main paintings, buildings and scriptures on the tour. He made sure we stayed together.

The Colosseum, Palatine Hill & Roman Forum tour we did yesterday with our beautiful guide Sylvia was awesome. My kids asked a lot of questions and she was always friendly and answered all of them. Her knowledge and detail regarding the history of these ancient sites was very interesting to listen to and all in all it was a very enjoyable tour. Thank you Sylvia for making our day a memorable one. :)

The meeting place was a very filthy area. Laura our guide was excellent the place was very crowded. We are aged 79 and 87 and found the walk with the amount of steps exhausting but an experience. We would have rather spent more time looking at things that interested us

The Colosseum Tour: Where History Roars to Life

After meeting your tour guide at the designated meeting point, head to the dominating Colosseum. Here, you will be able to make your way directly through security and into the largest amphitheater ever constructed in the history of the world.

This stone titan still echoes with the roars of long-gone crowds. Your guide will paint vivid pictures of gladiatorial glory and gory defeats, turning ancient dust into riveting drama. Gifted to the people by emperors with a flair for the dramatic, this arena was the pinnacle of Roman entertainment. Prepare for tales that make modern-day UFC look like a friendly game of tag.

Ascend the Palatine Hill, the Beverly Hills of ancient Rome, where emperors and elites once lived in lavish villas. From this vantage point, survey the ruins below. Finally, descend into the Roman Forum, the bustling heart of the ancient city.

The Vatican Tour: A Treasure Trove of Art and Culture

Get escorted directly into the Vatican Museums after meeting your expert tour guide at the designated meeting point. Step into the hallowed halls of the Vatican Museums, where your guide will lead you through a carefully plotted course of artistic wonders.

From the intricate Tapestries Gallery to the awe-inspiring Geographical Maps, each turn reveals a new marvel. Admire timeless sculptures like the Apollo Belvedere and Laocoön, and lose yourself in the works of masters adorning the picture gallery. Don't miss the chance to admire paintings so lifelike, that you'll wonder if they're secretly watching you back. Here, the legacy of popes and artists intertwines, creating an experience that's part cultural journey, part time travel, and entirely unforgettable.

The pièce de résistance awaits in the Sistine Chapel. Prepare for a neck-craning, jaw-dropping experience as you gaze upon Michelangelo's masterpiece ceiling where Adam reaches for life.
