This ticket includes a supplement for the fundraising promoted by the Italian Government aimed at securing and restoring cultural heritage in the flooded areas of Emilia Romagna (Art. 14 - DL 1 June 2023, n.61).
This curated tour for families and children makes history come alive as it guides visitors through two of Rome’s most iconic landmarks: the Colosseum and the Roman Forum. Participants will journey back in time to ancient Rome, witnessing the grandeur of its architecture and the daily lives of its citizens, through tales and insights tailored for a younger audience.
The tour includes a specially trained guide who will keep both kids and adults engaged with stories and educational content. Each ticket grants priority access to avoid long lines, enhancing the visitor experience. Interactive aids and headsets are provided to ensure everyone can hear the guide clearly and get the most out of the vivid historical narratives shared.
Designed with families in mind, this tour offers a compelling blend of education and entertainment, perfect for young learners eager to explore history. Unlike general tours, this experience addresses the specific challenges families face in engaging children with historical content, making it an ideal choice for those seeking an enriching cultural experience that caters to the interests and attention spans of younger visitors.
The Colosseum, located in the heart of ancient Rome, is not just a monument but a symbol of the architectural ingenuity of the ancient Romans. This amphitheater has stood the test of time and continues to be a source of fascination and awe.
Designed to hold over 50,000 spectators, the Colosseum was a marvel of engineering with its complex system of vaults and arches providing a sturdy foundation that has endured earthquakes and stone robbers.
The Colosseum was renowned for its gladiatorial contests and public spectacles, including animal hunts, executions, and dramas based on Classical mythology. The arena floor was ingeniously designed to accommodate elaborate scenery and trapdoors for animals and performers.
Recent restoration efforts have opened more areas of the Colosseum to the public, allowing visitors to explore the underground chambers where gladiators and animals were held before contests. Each of these sections tells a unique story of its utility and history.
Visitors are advised to meet at Via dei Fori Imperiali where the tour will commence. Ensure that your mobile ticket is ready to be shown at the entrance. To fully enjoy the guided tour amidst the hustle and bustle of the historic sites, headsets will be provided to every participant.

It was great to have prepaid tickets but the crowds of people was unreal. There were no staff to tell people where to go. We still had to queue to get in but overall a fantastic experience.
