About this activity

Meet your local private guide at the green kiosk in front of the Colosseo Metro station, just across the street from the iconic monument, skip the long lines and start your journey in the famous Gladiator's stadium, built in the 1st century by three Emperors: Vespasian, Titus and Domitian, also known as the Flavian dynasty (hence the original Latin name of the Colosseum: Amphitheatrum Flavium)
The Colosseum is the largest amphitheater ever built and its current name, probably, derives from the colossal statue of Nero that once stood in between the amphitheater and the Forum.
Walk through the stands, and learn how the various seats were assigned based on the social class of the attendants, as long as the various shows that took place in the arena. Gladiator's fights, fights between man and wild animals suddenly appearing from the hypogeum, but also battleships, thanks to an ingenious system that allowed to flood the arena.
Hear about the complex scenographies that were prepared to have extremely realistic environments like jungles or seas.
After exploring the Colosseum in detail, visit the Roman Forum, that the Ancient Romans called Forum Magnum. Once the center of the daily life, today this rectangular plaza contains ruins of temples, triumphal arches and other important public buildings. Here is where the important transactions and the political intrigue of Ancient Rome took place. The various archaeological levels show buildings that belong to the Roman Kingdom, Republic and Empire, giving you a complete insight on the 1000 years and more of Ancient Roman history.
The final stage of the tour is the Palatine Hill, the most central of the seven hills of Rome. Here is where Emperors, starting with Caesar Augustus, used to build their official palace. By the end of the Imperial age, this Hill was so filled with Imperial palaces that the word Palatium (palace) derives from the name of the hill itself. From the top of the Palatine Hill, you will enjoy a wonderful view of Rome!
