Description

Tour the Colosseum and Roman Forum with an expert archaeologist guide. Walk in the footsteps of Gladiators and Caesars who inhabited Roma Caput Mundi, followed by a visit to the site where St. Peter himself was imprisoned before his crucifixion.
Begin by meeting your expert guide in the heart of ancient Rome, from where you wander through the Roman Forum. This is the area where Rome really grew into a thriving city, outside of its origins at Palatine Hill.

Following that, journey into the Colosseum by traveling straight on to the original Arena Floor. Enter through the Gladiator Gate, the precise location where gladiators came face-to-face with the crowd, their opponents, armed men ready to kill and maim, or wild animals ready to rip flesh. The brutality of contest inside the Colosseum can still well and truly be felt to this day.

A tour of the Colosseum follows, throughout which you see the Arena Floor from every angle whilst ascending to the stalls where common Romans cheered and jeered the competitors below. Upon exiting the Colosseum, make your way back around the Roman Forum to Carcer Tullianum, which was the underground prison cell where St. Peter was held.

Highlights

  • Skip-the-line access means you bypass queues at the Colosseum AND Roman Forum
  • Learn the meaning of “Caput Mundi,” what’s all the fuss about a she-wolf, and why is St. Peter so important in Roman History?
  • A fully guided tour followed by an interactive video guide provide the best of both worlds
