Experience the Colosseum through the eyes of a gladiator by entering the ancient arena and walking the streets of the Roman Forum in the footsteps of senators and emperors. When you have a licensed and friendly guide all to yourself, you will be sure to make the most of your visit to Ancient Rome. You'll be led around the Colosseum to all of the best vantage points for views, photos and living historical explanations of the arena. You will also enter into the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, the oldest parts of Rome where the Republic and Empire were established. Walk on original ancient roads, as well as within temple complexes and emperors' palaces. When you have a small group you feel like you've expanded your family and friends to make this an even better experience. Plus you get to ask as many questions of your professional guide as you wish without being overlooked or lost in a massive group.

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.
