The local Carpe Diem Tour Guide Evi was great. She was really knowledgable about all the spaces and accommodating to some mobility concerns we had. We had a great time and had a comprehensive tour.

Our tour of the Colosseum was fantastic! The amphitheater is even more impressive in person than in pictures. It's much larger than we expected. Our tour guide set a great pace and was very informative, making the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Your Experience

You will enter the iconic monument from the newly-opened Gladiator's Entrance, giving you a unique vantage point of the Colosseum. This allows you to slip past the long lines at the main entrances and enter from the back. Marvel at the impressive architecture as you walk past the Arena Floor, just like the gladiators who stepped out there for fights to the death. The partial reconstruction of the arena floor gives you a stunning view of the tiered ruins from where up to 80,000 spectators once cheered on for these gory fights.

An expert English-speaking guide will accompany you and regale you with stories about the Colosseum. Varying from exotic staged hunts and mock sea battles, the true stories about this impressive monument are what legends are made of.
