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.

  • Colosseum, Rome, Italy
    Experience the Colosseum before walking the streets of the Roman Forum in the footsteps of senators and emperors. After meeting your expert friendly guide, you will begin to hear all about the history of the monument with the advantage of having the guide all to yourself. Once inside you will learn all about the amazing lives of the gladiators and the many different (and deadly) weapons they used, all while soaking in the incredible architecture from the best viewpoint in the arena. We will then walk around the colossal structure where ancient Romans used to cheer on their heroes, gamble and marvel at the exotic animals from all parts of the enormous Roman Empire.
    60 minutes
  • Roman Forum, Rome, Italy
    After walking around inside the building, seeing it from its many different and beautiful angles, the tour will begin a short walk toward the Roman Forum. The forum was the heart and soul of the ancient city with many of its most important temples and political buildings, and though most are in ruins it is still one of the most visually impressive archaeological parks in the world. In this incredible walk through history the tour will fully explore the most important and spectacular sites. Entering near the Senate House the group continues past the law courts, triumphal arches and beautiful Temples, including the famed temple of Julius Caesar where his ashes were laid to rest.
    45 minutes
  • Palatine Hill, Rome, Italy
    We will continue the tour by climbing up the gentle slopes of the Palatine Hill where rich Romans lived in their luxury villas, while being waited on hand and foot. Under the umbrella pines, which scatter the landscape, we will explore the palace of the emperors, home of the most powerful people in the ancient world. You will learn more about the lives of these great (and occasionally quite mad) men, visiting the stately dining rooms and serene gardens, getting an idea of the unbelievable luxury that they would have lived in. The last stop on our tour is Domitian’s hippodrome, attached to the imperial palace, where the group can bask in the surrounding view and feel the thousands of years of history and change that this unique city has gone through.

Our guide Micha was Easy going and informative. Made sure that all members of the group were catered for. The Colosseum and Roman Forum were amazing and Misha gave us a true sense of what life would have been like during these times.

Tatiana was very knowledgeable. We thought she was going somewhat fast but soon realized that even sprinting we'd never able to see it all! She has put together a very enjoyable and informative tour of the must-see things on the tour! Loved it!
