💡 TourBookGo tip

Check carefully whether your option includes the Arena or Underground, as access varies between booking choices. Bring a passport or ID for every traveler, including children, and enter names exactly as shown on the documents.

Only 6 people per groupWith no more than 6 participants, it is easier to hear the guide, ask questions and explore the Colosseum and Roman Forum without the feel of a large organized group.

Arena or Underground accessDepending on the option selected, you can step onto the Gladiator Arena or explore the Colosseum Underground, giving you a different perspective on the amphitheater.

History brought into contextYour guide connects the story of the Colosseum with the Roman Forum, from gladiatorial spectacles to temples, basilicas and triumphal arches at the heart of ancient Rome.

Two major sites in one tourThe experience combines a guided Colosseum tour with a walk through the Roman Forum.

📖 Colosseum and Roman Forum tour with special access

The experience brings together two of Rome's most important archaeological sites: the Colosseum and the Roman Forum. Compared with standard admission, this small-group tour adds a professional guide and access to a special area of the amphitheater depending on the option booked.

After the Colosseum, the tour continues through the Roman Forum, once the political, religious and social heart of ancient Rome, where the ruins become far easier to picture with a guide explaining the stories behind them.

The guide provides context for temples, basilicas, triumphal arches and landmarks including the Via Sacra, Temple of Saturn, Arch of Titus and House of the Vestals.
