Colosseum Belvedere VIP Top Tier Access Tour with Roman Forum and Palatine Hill

The Roman Colosseum is built over 5 different levels above the Arena Floor and most tours only take you to the first two. On this tour, you get to explore the other three floors too. Skip the line at the entrance to the Colosseum and embark on this beautiful tour which conquers all the floors and captures the best views of the Colosseum in a single tour. Once you enter you’ll walk through the crowds on regular levels and arrive at the special padlocked gate. Walk through the frame and step into areas of the Colosseum which only a few have seen. In fact, the 5th level was recently opened and almost no one has stepped foot here since the 6th century AD.

This tour presents plenty of photo-worthy points. Embrace the heights of this iconic structure and get behind the scenes access to exclusive areas in this memorable and thoroughly impressive tour. This is the best way to see the Colosseum!

Meet your guide near the Colosseum and once your group forms, skip the ticket lines at the entrance to the Colosseum and proceed into the Ancient Roman attraction. Once inside, you’ll be amazed at the sheer size of the amphitheatre and the incredible details found through its construction. Make your way across the first two sections towards the VIP gate, which will be unlocked before you eyes, and get ready for an exclusive, scenic tour of the top level of the Colosseum.

Begin with the third floor, called ‘Maenianum Secundum Imum’ and take in spectacular panoramic views of the Colosseum and the Roman Forum. Your guide will keep narrating stories and providing commentary about the Colosseum, the ‘playboy’ gladiators, the ‘groupies from the fifth tier’ and other fascinating stories about the ancient empire through the tour. With nobody else around, you can relax and make the most of this surreal experience.

The fourth and fifth floor were opened in late 2017 and offers the most exclusive views of the site. On the fourth level, you’ll be directly above the Emperor's Imperial Box and this is one of the best vantage points of the floor arena down below. Proceed to the very top for the best views which presents a landscape of Ancient Rome surrounded by modern Rome, a sight which is truly remarkable, refreshing and one of those that leaves you feeling giddy and excited inside.
