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.

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.
