No trip to Rome would be complete without a visit to the Colosseum and the neighboring Forum and Palatine Hill. On this exciting guided tour you will see the sites with the added experience of seeing the Colosseum through the eyes of the gladiators on the arena floor and in the underground passages.
As well as seeing the first two tiers of the amphitheatre, you will also stand on the arena floor and look up around you into the stands as the gladiators would have done.
Then explore the underground passageways that lie beneath the arena, where wild beasts would have been kept and gladiators would have prepared themselves for battle. This is where much of the action would have taken place, just behind the scenes – unknown even to most Roman citizens at the time. Then in the Forum you will see where public life unfolded.On the Palatine Hill you will walk through the palaces of emperors which stand where the legendary Romulus supposedly founded the great city.
