About

Be a part of a small group of 18 participants (maximum) and experience the Colosseum from a uniquely exclusive perspective. Get direct access into the Gladiators’ Arena—an entry not available to regular ticket owners—while skipping the long queues. Once inside, journey back to the days of the Roman Empire with a professional licensed guide.

The arena section of the Colosseum is the central stage where the legendary spectacles of ancient Rome unfolded. It was the epicentre of gladiatorial contests, wild animal hunts, and other dramatic entertainments that captivated the Roman populace. The arena is not only a historic battleground but also a powerful symbol of Rome’s imperial grandeur and the enduring fascination with ancient Roman culture.

Walk the paths once taken by Roman citizens and emperors as you explore the ruins of ancient temples. Visit the Palatine Hill, where the legend of Romulus and Remus marks the foundation of the city. Learn how this magnificent area later became the beating heart of Ancient Rome, while enjoying breathtaking views over the Colosseum and Circus Maximus.

Be amazed by the brilliance of ancient architects and engineers as you discover the techniques and innovations used to build these monumental structures. Learn about the political and social motivations behind their construction and hear stories of the dramatic—and often brutal—games that once took place within their walls.
