This is one of the best Colosseum tours where you can get the full Ancient Roman experience. Follow your expert guide into the Colosseum and learn all about its bloody past. Once inside the arena, your guide will bring to life the history and events that took place here and make you feel as though you are a part of the screaming crowd. With this new knowledge, you can envision yourself down on the arena floor as a gladiator being announced for an impending battle! Bask in the enormity and beauty of Rome’s most recognizable monument and let your guide immerse you in the tales of the gory battles and victorious celebration of the gladiators that fought and died in the Colosseum.
Once you’ve soaked in the history of the Colosseum from your professional guide, you can then head to the photo studio where you will choose a costume and take your own photo dressed as a Roman gladiator! Whether you are a fan of the legendary fighting heroes or simply desire the lifestyle of the noble Roman citizens, select your favorite historic costume and take a photo in the style of some of the stories learned on your tour.
To complete your experience in Rome, you can join one of our optional Roman Forum and Palatine Hill group tours. Go with your entertaining guide into the oldest parts of Rome where the Emperors lived, and walk the same streets as the Roman citizens going about their daily activities in the Forum. Hear the history of monuments such as the Temple of Julius Caesar, the Arch of Titus and the Temple of Romulus. Your engaging guide will conclude your tour by regaling you with tales of the emperors and the noble families of ancient Rome.
