Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Colosseum, Piazza del Colosseo, 00184 Rome Italy

Meet your guide near the formidable hulk of the Colosseum, the gigantic arena that drew Romans of all walks of life to watch violent fights between gladiators and beasts. Bypass the crowds and head straight inside, entering the Colosseum through a special gate once used by gladiators themselves. Walk right onto the arena floor—an area not usually accessible to the public—and learn about the harrowing events that took place here for entertainment's sake centuries ago.

Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes

Stop At: Palatine Hill, Piazza Santa Maria Nova, 53, 00186 Rome Italy

Spend a full hour exploring the rest of the Colosseum, from the ground floor up to the second tier, where you can see the Roman Forum from a distance before making your way across to Palatine Hill. You'll also get ahead of the crowds at this storied collection of ruins and listen to your guide rebuild ancient Rome from the ground up through captivating stories. Hear tales of war, politics, and betrayal, and get introduced to some of the ancient world's larger-than-life characters as you roam around the markets, roads, and temples where the empire's citizens once lived, played, and prayed.

Walk through the Coliseum and enjoy hearing about the history, the politics, and the economics of the Roman empire. Our guide, Nikola, was excellent and was able to answer every question.

Skipping the line and having a tour guide absolutely helped us maximize our trip, and this is a mist see when going to Roma (Rome). You will get a great introduction to the coliseum and picture taking opportunities. If you want to stop, read, and learn everything there is to know, then you should plan a day trip and really take your time. This is a great way to maximize time and highlight some important parts. Our tour guide, Paolo, was amazing! He introduced lots of unknown information and humor.
