Overview
Avoid the standard tour group and immerse yourself with the Colosseum's 2,000-year history with this special access experience. Inside the Colosseum you'll walk the same steps as gladiators, emperors, and doomed prisoners. Bloodthirsty Romans gathered in this ancient stadium of death to watch gladiator fights and executions, and your guide will explain every gory detail. You'll enter the Colosseum through the special access gladiator's gate, and avoid the crowds in the general access areas. In addition to the Colosseum, you'll visit the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill (Cesar's Palace). Surrounded by picturesque ruins we'll visit ancient palaces, temples, tombs, the House of the Vestal Virgins, and the Senate house before finishing the tour at the tomb of Julius Cesare. This 2.5 hour tour concludes in the center of Rome, leaving easy access to local restaurants, cafes, shopping, and public transportation.

Itinerary
1. Inside the ancient stadium, you'll visit the first and second levels while our enthusiastic guide provides fun, interesting, and relevant information. The Colosseum could host 70,000 Romans in ancient times, all who gathered there to watch blood sports. Exotic animal hunts, beheadings, and Gladiator battles were just among a few of the deadly games held here, and your guide will explain every detail.
2. You'll walk in the footsteps of Rome's most brilliant and also psychotic Emperors as we discover Cesar's Palace, officially called Palatine Hill. Palatine Hill is where Rome was founded nearly 3,000 years ago, and hosts structures dating from B.C. times, through the Renaissance, and most recently buildings built by Benito Mussolini.
3. The Roman Empire stretched from Iraq to Scotland, and the Roman Forum is where the decisions to control all of their territory took place. The Forum is the epicenter of the ancient world, and along with your licensed guide you'll visit the most important pagan temples and tombs, the house of the Vestal Virgins, the Senate house, and the tomb of Julius Cesare.
