Millions of people every year visit the Flavian Amphitheater – more commonly known as the Colosseum. But not everyone will have the chance to truly walk in the footsteps of the Gladiators. With LivTours’ priority access you will be able to step out onto the Arena floor, look up to the stands, and turn around as you imagine an 80,000-person crowd roaring and cheering you on.
Your expert guide will lead you past the long confusing lines of tourists with priority access tickets. Once through security, you will wander through the mighty arches, and explore the most famous ancient monument in the world.
The Colosseum was built in the 1st Century AD by the Flavian Emperors: Vespasian, Titus, and Domitian. It was called the Flavian Amphitheater and acquired its nickname, ‘Colosseo’ because it stood next to a ‘colossal’ gold statue of the sun god Apollo. For centuries the Colosseum came to symbolize the power, wealth, and public entertainment of the Ancient Romans. On this 1.5-hour express tour, you’ll learn all about the history of this incredible place.
Your tour ends inside the Colosseum, allowing you to continue to explore at your leisure.

All LivTours Semi-Private Group Tours are limited to 6 guests per tour guide. Our commitment to maintaining our uniquely tiny group sizes can sometimes be a little tricky, mathematically speaking. For example, we want to ensure that traveling families and friends can tour together so on rare occasions we may add one or two guests in order to not split groups. On that same note, you may also find yourself on tour with less than six people! We thank you for your understanding and flexibility.
