The Colosseum, located in the heart of Rome, is the main attraction included in this ticket. As the largest amphitheater ever built, it stands as a testament to the architectural and engineering prowess of ancient Rome.
The Colosseum, also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre, was commissioned in AD 70-72 by Emperor Vespasian and completed in AD 80 by his son Titus. This iconic structure could hold up to 80,000 spectators, who gathered to watch gladiatorial contests, animal hunts, and other public spectacles. The Colosseum’s design features a complex system of vaults and arches, enabling it to support the massive weight of the structure and accommodate large crowds. Visitors can marvel at the intricate architecture and imagine the vibrant atmosphere that once filled this ancient arena.
One of the highlights of this ticket is the opportunity to access the Arena floor, where gladiators once battled. Standing on the Arena floor offers a unique perspective, providing a sense of the scale and grandeur of the Colosseum. Visitors can envision the roar of the crowds and the intensity of the games that took place here. This exclusive access allows for a deeper connection to the history and significance of the Colosseum, making it a memorable part of the visit.
The Colosseum was not only a venue for entertainment but also a symbol of Roman power and influence. It served as a tool for emperors to gain popularity and demonstrate their generosity to the people. The games held at the Colosseum were often funded by the emperors themselves, showcasing their wealth and reinforcing their status. Today, the Colosseum remains a powerful symbol of Rome’s enduring legacy, attracting millions of visitors each year who come to admire its historical and cultural significance.
To begin your journey, meet at the designated meeting point as specified on your voucher. It is important to arrive at least 15 minutes early to ensure a timely start. Upon arrival, present your mobile voucher along with a valid photo ID to gain entry. This process ensures a smooth and efficient start to your exploration of Rome’s ancient wonders.

A compact but rewarding tour that covered a lot of ground. Our guide Antonio was interesting and engaging , with good humour. We were expertly navigated through the crowds whilst being educated at the same time. Of course you cannot do justice to the Vatican Museaum in such a varied tour, however this was spot on for our teens on their first visit to these amazing historical sites. Recommend.

Our tour guide Donalto was an amazing guide. He explained everything with a lot of enthusiasm and made sure we understood it correctly. To be honest,, the best part of our visit to Rome was him explaining the colosseum and roman empire very well. We enjoyed the journey very much. Thanks a lot to him.

This guided tour of the Colosseum and the Forum will remain in our memories for a long time! Paolo was a wonderful guide! Despite the crowds and the rain, he created an imaginary world that transported us back to the Roman Empire. Fascinating, funny and benevolent, thank you Paolo!
