Colosseum and Arena Floor Private Tour with Local Expert Guide
Retrace the glorious past of Ancient Rome by visiting the monumental Colosseum and stepping into its arena during this private tour with a local expert guide. You'll get to relive a piece of an empire's history and culture at the largest amphitheater in the world while listening to stories and legends of gladiator fights as described by your guide. Entering the reconstructed arena floor through the 'Death Gate', you'll travel back in time and envision an authentic gladiator experience. Your guide will be happy to tell you plenty of curiosities about the Colosseum's history, anecdotes about the most important gladiators, and myths surrounding the renowned amphitheater. Your tour will begin in the archaeological area, where you'll have the chance to see and take photos of important sites such as the Arch of Constantine, built to commemorate ten years of the emperor's reign, Palatine Hill, the most ancient part of the city, and, of course, the Colosseum.

Where this sits in Rome
Rome is about 33 min by road from Rome Fiumicino Airport. Three thousand years stacked on top of each other, still busy being a capital. Stay central and walk — the Forum, the Pantheon and a dozen churches worth the detour are closer together than the map suggests, and the city rewards wandering more than ticking off.
