Ready to experience Ancient Rome like a VIP? Our Semi-Private Colosseum Arena, Palatine Hill, and Roman Forum Tour gives you exclusive priority access to the freshly reopened arena floor of the world-famous Colosseum. With just six lucky guests in your group, you’ll skip the crowds and get up close and personal with an expert guide who knows how to make history seriously fun.

Forget the usual tourist shuffle, this tour’s all about you. With fewer people around, you can ask all your burning questions while exploring the Colosseum, its arena floor, the Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill. And thanks to fast-track entry, you’ll breeze past security like a Roman noble, making the most of every minute.

Step through the Gladiator’s Gate and onto the arena floor where gladiators once fought for glory and survival. Your guide will take you back nearly 2,000 years to the epic opening games, where 50,000 fans cheered on battles, wild beast hunts, and some seriously brutal showdowns, all right under your feet.

Discover the Colosseum’s dirty little secrets and the jaw-dropping power plays of Rome’s heyday. Got questions about the movie Gladiator? We’ve got the answers. Curious about ancient engineering tricks? Prepare to be impressed. With a small group, your guide will tailor every story to you.

Next up: the Palatine Hill, aka the fancy address of Roman emperors. Explore ancient ruins that span centuries and snap killer photos of the city’s skyline. Then it’s off to the Roman Forum, the buzzing centre of political drama. Walk the Via Sacra where victorious generals paraded, stand where Julius Caesar met his final farewell, and soak in the stories of power, betrayal, and scandal beneath iconic arches.

This isn’t your average sightseeing tour. It’s an intimate, bucket-list experience through Rome’s ancient wonders, perfect for curious travellers who want more than just the usual highlights. If you’re ready to step into history with style, this tour’s got your name on it.

HIGHLIGHTS

Small group, big vibes: Step onto the Colosseum Arena and roam around ancient Rome with just a handful of fellow adventurers. With only 6 guests max, you get better access to your guide and more memorable moments with your favourite people.

Your guide, your time: Smaller groups mean your questions actually get answered. Dive into the juicy stories that spark your curiosity, and enjoy a tour tailored just for you, not some cookie-cutter spiel.

Explore at your own pace: No rush, no herd mentality. Take your time soaking up the views and atmosphere at each spot, all without feeling pressured to keep up with a crowd.

A true bucket-list treat: This isn’t your run-of-the-mill sightseeing trip. It’s a deep dive into iconic landmarks, rich stories, and unforgettable moments you’ll be bragging about for years.

Breathe easy, listen closely: Skip the noise and chaos of big groups. In a small group, you’ll move smoothly, catch every word, and fully soak in the magic of ancient Rome.

You’ll stay with the guide during the tour but there’s plenty of time for photos, questions, and some personal exploration. Plus, you can explore on your own after the tour ends.

How long do we spend at each site?

About 45 minutes to an hour per site. The full tour lasts around 3 hours. Small groups mean less waiting and more time to enjoy each location.

Does the tour still run if it rains?

Yes, rain or shine! Rome usually has great weather, but the tour goes ahead regardless.

How many guests are on the semi-private tour?

The tour is limited to 6 guests max, making for a more intimate experience and better interaction with your guide.
