&nbsp;

Meet your licensed, English-speaking guide at the Arch of Constantine before entering the Flavian Amphitheatre, better known as the Colosseum. This exclusive tour is limited to a maximum of 12 participants, ensuring a more personal and immersive experience.

&nbsp;

This incredible monument holds several records: it is the largest and best-preserved Roman amphitheatre in the world, with tiers that once accommodated up to 75,000 spectators. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Colosseum is also part of the ancient centre of Rome and is proudly listed among the New Seven Wonders of the World.

&nbsp;

With this small-group tour, you&#39;ll explore the first and second tiers of the Colosseum and enjoy the rare privilege of stepping onto the arena floor&mdash;a unique experience that most visitors don&rsquo;t get. Regular entrances only allow access to the edge of the arena, but you&#39;ll walk where gladiators once stood, battling wild beasts and facing epic fights that thrilled the roaring crowds during grand spectacles hosted by the emperors.

Meeting Point:

Meet in front of the Arch of Constantine. The tour guide will be standing next to a small column near the Arch, holding a sign with the name of the tour and the tour operator&#39;s logo.
