The centerpiece of this tour is none other than the Colosseum itself, located in the heart of ancient Rome. As one of the world’s most iconic historical landmarks, the Colosseum has stood as a monument to Roman engineering and entertainment for millennia.
The Colosseum’s architectural design was revolutionary. Its elliptical structure, comprised of various types of stones, was crafted to hold tens of thousands of spectators. Each tier was thoughtfully designed to provide optimal visibility of the arena floor.
The Colosseum was renowned for its gladiatorial games, which were not only forms of entertainment but also displays of power and prestige by wealthy Roman elites. These events were elaborate, often involving exotic animals and staged naval battles.
The Colosseum has been a symbol of Rome’s imperial might and architectural ingenuity. It is a central part of cultural heritage and continues to be a source of scholarly study and popular interest worldwide.
The journey begins at Via di San Gregorio, where participants are advised to arrive early. This allows time for each group member to be fitted with VR headsets and receive instructions on their use. Staff members will guide you through the process and ensure you are comfortable with the equipment before the tour begins.

The VR is a neat idea, but it felt a bit rushed and some parts of the Colosseum were off limits.
