WEB CDT Colosseum Tour 1

Our Colosseum guided tour gets you straight inside the iconic amphitheatre

Our most complete three-hour tour of ancient Rome starts at the Colosseum, where your expert guide and skip-the-line entrance tickets will set you apart from the rest. As you explore the Colosseum and follow in the footsteps of ancient senators and gladiators, your fun, family-friendly guide will answer all the burning questions you have about this architectural wonder:

What are all the holes around the amphitheatre for? Why is one side shorter than the other? And how much do we really know about the gladiators—and even emperors—who battled on the arena sands? (We promise the answers will surprise you!)

Ascend the Palatine Hill and explore where Rome was founded

After exploring the Colosseum, we’ll climb the Palatine Hill to discover the birthplace of the ancient city. Here, your storyteller guide will recount the mythical foundation of Rome, the legend of Romulus and Remus, and the stories of the emperors who resided on the Palatine, like Augustus, Tiberius, and Caligula. Next, we’ll explore the ruins of some of the most luxurious palaces in Roman history, the emperor’s residences on the Palatine Hill, from which we get our word ‘palace.’

Finish your Colosseum guided tour in the Roman Forum

Last but not least, we’ll head into the Roman Forum, the heart of the ancient city. Discover what life was really like for everyday Romans as we explore the social, religious, and political hub of the Roman Empire. Marvel at the remains of towering temples, triumphal arches, sprawling basilicas, and the ancient senate house as you walk on the very same stones that the likes of Caesar and Cicero once did.
