Your Colosseum & Roman Forum tour begins at the iconic Colosseum, where you will enter smoothly with just a quick stop for the security check. You will then pass through the Gladiators’ Gate to the Colosseum’s exclusive arena floor and step out directly onto the same level where the gladiators would fight. It’s an incredible perspective and the perfect place for your guide to share stories from ancient times.
From the restricted arena floor, you will also be close to the Colosseum underground, having a near-unobstructed birds-eye view of the fascinating dungeons where the shows were managed and coordinated.
Once you have enjoyed the arena, your guide will lead you up to the second floor, where you can enjoy the view from Caesar’s balcony. Here you will hear amazing stories and anecdotes, and get a better picture of what it all looked like thousands of years ago.
After concluding your visit to the Colosseum, you will move on to another magnificent archaeological site – the nearby Palatine Hill and Roman Forum. Learn about the origins of Rome and the strategy that helped this ancient power grow. Climbing to the very top of this beautiful archeological park, you will admire one of the most stunning views of the Circus Maximus.
Next, it is on to visit the political and commercial center of ancient Rome – the Roman Forum. The sheer size of the excavation site and the fascinating ruins of basilicas, political buildings, temples, and more will stimulate your imagination of Roman life. Your guide will delight you with stories of emperors and the over-the-top lifestyles of ancient Rome’s rich and famous.

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.
