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-hour express tour, you’ll learn all about the history of this incredible place.
As your tour concludes, take a moment to appreciate the historical significance of this remarkable artifact, symbolizing a legacy of strength and visionary achievement.

All LivTours Semi-Private Group Tours are capped at six guests per tour guide. Our commitment to maintaining this uniquely tiny group size 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 to avoid separating 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.
