A quick stroll into the past
If you’re in a time crunch, this express tour is the best way to experience Rome’s ancient spectacle and historical playing field. After meeting your guide at the designated meeting point, head to the majestic Colosseum. There you can avoid the long queue for tickets and go straight through security to enter the world's largest amphitheater ever built.
Hidden passages and insightful facts
Believed to have been built as a gift from the ancient emperors to the Roman people, this large open-air amphitheater once served as the epicenter of entertainment. Uncover the theater's fierce past as your guide tells you stories about the famous gladiatorial games. Select your preferred guide from a diverse array of languages including English, Spanish, Italian, French, or German-speaking guides tailored to your preferences.
Learn about sections like the Hypogeum, located beneath the Colosseum, a labyrinth of tunnels and chambers where gladiators and animals were held before their battles. Did you know? The Neronian Cryptoporticus is a hidden 130-m long underground passage that once connected Palatine Hill to the Colosseum.
