Itinerary
Explore the world's most visited monument, in the most complete way! Use a dedicated entrance and get access directly into the Gladiators’ Arena, not available to regular ticket owners. Once inside, walk in the Arena floor through the notorious “Porta Libitinaria”. See the backstage of the most famous games in Ancient Rome and walk the steps of the Gladiators before the fights. Be surprised by the behind-the-scene logistics and technology. Learn about the innovative building techniques used by the ancient Roman engineers.
After your official tour ends, you can visit the archeological area of the Roman Forums and Palatine Hill on your own. Here, you will immerse yourself in the ruins of ancient temples and will walk the paths of Emperors and Senators. Learn how this beautiful area became the beating heart of Ancient Rome.
Visit the Palatine Hill, where the legend of Romulus and Remus established the foundation of the city, and will enjoy breathtaking views over the Colosseum and Circus Maximus.

Traveler reviews
Nice tour
This would have been more enjoyable my first time in Rome. Our tour guide was good and gave some interesting history of Trastavere. The food, wine, and beer were fine but nothing special. There was plenty of it though!
Fantastic tour!
Touriks contacted me directly and offered a free upgrade to a guided tour of Palatine Hill, Roman Forum and the Colosseum floor tour we booked. Our guide was phenomenal! She was clearly passionate about the history and took her time explaining everything to us. She was very kind and answered any questions we had. This was by far one of the best guided tours I’ve ever been on.
History Details
It can run late…just be aware if you are on a tight schedule. Otherwise, our guide was so informative and gave us so many details of the history. Pretty amazing!
Colosseum Tour
Our family did this tour and we recommend using this company. Manola was our guide. She was knowledgeable, insightful and provided many interesting details with a bit of humor. Kseniya was our first contact at the meeting point. She provided so much helpful information and really personalized our experience. She went out of her way with such ease and kindness to assist us. We loved our experience and would book through them again.
