Itinerary

Admission included75 min

Enjoy a private tour with your personal storyteller by entering the Colosseum, a true blessing especially during hot and crowded summer days! Your private guide will help your imagination with visual aids and reconstructions of ancient buildings and you will experience how Roman history comes to life thanks to an expert storyteller. Retrace the same sites you got to know in your favorite Ancient Rome movies like “the Gladiator”, “Spartacus”, “Ben-Hur”. The Colosseum or Coliseum, also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre, is an oval amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome. Built of travertine limestone, tuff, and brick-faced concrete, it was the largest amphitheatre ever built at the time and held aprox 50,000 spectators.

15 min

The Arch of Constantine is the largest triumphal arch within the Entire Eternal city and was once the closing monument during Ancient Glory marches lead by numerous emperors from AD 315 and the victorious Roman military. Although the arch is named after the great Constantine, it is decorated with many statues "stolen" from much earlier monuments of its kind that were dedicated to the likes of Marcus Aurelius, Hadrian and even Emperor Trajan, as early as AD 98.

Gladiator for a Day.

We just experienced the most amazing tour of the Coliseum. My two boys are 27 and 25 and we had Paolo as our guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and was fantastic at explaining how the coliseum was constructed and the life of the gladiators. The tour was 90 mins and he navigated us through the lines seamlessly. I highly recommend this tour to anyone traveling to Rome. Thank you Paolo for an unforgettable morning.

Operator response
