VIP Colosseum and Ancient Rome Tour and Gladiators Arena Optional
Overview
This is our most affordable special-access Colosseum experience, offering excellent value while allowing you to skip even the shortest entrance lines. You'll also enjoy priority access to the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, saving valuable time during your visit.
Choose our Arena Tour to walk in the footsteps of the gladiators as you enter the Colosseum through the exclusive Gladiator's Gate—the historic entrance once reserved only for gladiators. Step onto the Arena Floor and experience the monument from a unique perspective, just as the ancient fighters did.
Alternatively, you can choose our Regular Colosseum Tour, which offers spectacular panoramic views from the upper level. From here, you'll enjoy a complete view of the Colosseum, including a look down into the underground chambers, as well as stunning views of the Arch of Constantine from the Colosseum terrace.
