The main attraction of this tour is undoubtedly the Colosseum, one of the world’s most iconic monuments, located in the heart of Rome. Originally an amphitheater for grand public spectacles, it remains a testament to Roman engineering and social traditions.
On the Arena Floor, visitors are transported back to a time when gladiators faced fierce battles for survival. This space, known as the “Sand of Blood,” was where entertainers and warriors fought for honor, often in front of tens of thousands of spectators. Standing here offers a unique opportunity to visualize the bravery, fear, and excitement that once filled the air in ancient Rome, as well as the complex design that allowed for such grand spectacles.
The Roman Forum, adjacent to the Colosseum, serves as a gateway into the heart of ancient Roman life. This open-air space was once Rome’s political, legal, and commercial center. As visitors walk past the ruins of temples, basilicas, and meeting places, they gain insight into the lives of Roman citizens and the structures that upheld Roman society. The Forum was a place where crucial events unfolded, shaping the destiny of the empire.
Rising above the Forum, Palatine Hill is a historical site rich in legend and archaeological wonders. Known as the birthplace of Rome’s earliest settlements, it later housed imperial palaces and was the preferred residence of emperors and elites. With its panoramic views, Palatine Hill allows visitors to take in the scope of the Roman Empire’s grandeur while exploring ruins that span centuries of Roman habitation.
Arrive at the lower level exit of the Colosseo Metro Station, where the guide will await with a visible “Tours of Rome” sign. It’s essential to arrive 15 minutes in advance to ensure a smooth start. Present your voucher on your smartphone for verification. The guide will provide entry tickets and lead you through each step, offering detailed information along the way.
