Highlights
Description
Get a gladiator’s view of the Colosseum, then explore the Roman Forum on a walking tour through the heart of ancient Rome. With a special access ticket, you'll enter the arena via the Gladiator’s Gate. Stand where gladiators once fought, hear tales of ruthless crowds and emperors, then explore the Colosseum’s first and second levels with your guide. Finish with a tour of Palatine Hill and the Roman Forum with even more stories that bring the ruins to life. If you book the 3:30 pm tour, your Palatine Hill and Forum tour will include a visit to the extraordinary SUPER Sites, a collection of immaculately preserved ancient temples and villas (including the house of Caesar Augustus) that few visitors have the chance to access.
