Rome: Colosseum, Arena and Palatine Hill Small-Group Tour
Summary Description
Highlights
Description
Unlike regular tours of the Colosseum, this small group tour gets you straight inside the ancient amphitheatre and out onto the arena floor through the Gladiator’s Gate. This is the route the gladiators themselves took almost 2,000 years ago. Imagine the scene of them being greeted by the cheers and jeers of 50,000 bloodthirsty spectators.
Your expert guide will transport you back in time to the height of the Roman Empire when the Colosseum was constructed. These were times when Rome was ruled by all-powerful emperors (sometimes wise, sometimes wacky), the city was flooded with exotic riches from around the world, and the Colosseum acted as the city’s main stage for showing off the animals and people that Rome had conquered and captured.
Explore The Palatine Hill, where Emperors built their palaces and the elites luxuriated in their villas - remains of which you can see all around you. Learn the histories of the great names who lived here, as your guide rebuilds the neighbourhoods around you.
The Roman Forum is the heart of all Ancient Rome. Here’s where the day to day hustle and bustle happened, and the work of running the world’s largest empire really took place. Weave amongst the enormous ruins, and discover the real lives of every Roman, from the city’s mythical founders to famous senators to humble market stall keepers.
This is the best way to discover Rome. Places are limited, so book today!
*Please note we will either start with the Colosseum or the Roman Forum/Palatine Hill depending on the time of tickets we can purchase*
**Colosseum admission is free on the first Sunday of the month. Tours are discounted on these days.**

About operator:
We founded Carpe Diem Rome in 2019 after finishing some seasonal work with local tourism companies. To be frank, they disappointed us. Their tours lacked excitement, quality, and adventure. We knew we could do it better. So we decided to change it, and make our mark as the best local tour company money could buy!
In the scorching summer of 2022, while everyone else was at the beach, we were in Florence (it’s a hard life) – creating and perfecting tours. We launched our Florence tours in the autumn, and with this came Carpe Diem’s Rome evolution into Carpe Diem Tours! Since then, we’ve crossed borders and oceans, adding Barcelona, Lisbon, London and Budapest to the list, and we’ve got our eyes set on even more!
Forget the tour groups. Join the locals and dive into the real Europe with our hand-picked experiences. The day is not ours; it’s yours. Let us help you seize it.
