Overview
Take a trip back in time to ancient Rome on our private tour of the Colosseum, Forum and Palatine hill, including an exclusive visit to the awe-inspiring amphitheatre’s arena floor. Strap on your sandals and follow in the footsteps of the gladiators as we relive the bloody spectacles that left ancient Roman audiences spellbound: in the company of an expert archaeologist you’ll learn all about the drama of the deadly ancient games, and have the chance to walk out onto the arena floor to see exactly what the gladiators saw almost 2,000 years ago. Our in-depth exploration of ancient Rome will continue in the fascinating Forum, the beating heart of the classical city. Conclude your tour in the evocative ruins of the nearby Palatine hill, where generations of Roman emperors lived in palaces of unimaginable luxury.
