    Colosseum

    Your journey into Ancient Rome begins at the Colosseum, one of the world's most iconic monuments. Step into this legendary amphitheater with your Expert Guide and uncover the stories behind gladiator battles, political power struggles, and the incredible engineering feats that shaped Roman history. Discover how this extraordinary structure hosted grand spectacles — and even staged ancient naval battles — separating fact from fiction beyond the famous Hollywood depictions. Guests who choose an Arena Floor option will enjoy special access to the Arena Floor, where gladiators once fought before thousands of spectators. Guests who choose a 1.5-hour tour option will enjoy a guided visit of the Arena floor, followed by a guided introduction to the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill.

According to tradition, this was the hill where Romulus founded the city in 753 BC — a decision that led to his brother Remus's tragic fate.
