Ancient Rome and Colosseum Skip the Line Walking Tour

Rome 3 hours

Meet your guide near Oppian Hill for a panoramic view of the Colosseum before skipping the long entrance line with a fast-track ticket. Inside, explore its first and second tiers while hearing vivid tales of ancient executions and gladiator battles. Imagine up to 50,000 spectators cheering from these same stands as emperors decided warriors’ fates. From there, stroll to the Roman Forum—once the center of political life in Ancient Rome—and see the House of the Vestal Virgins, the Temple of Julius Caesar, and other famous ruins. Finish your day by scaling Palatine Hill for sweeping vistas of the site, including the former Circus Maximus. Optional Upgrade (3.5 hours): Gain exclusive access to typically restricted sections of the Colosseum: visit the underground chambers where lions and tigers were caged, stand on the arena floor where gladiators once fought, and ascend to the third tier for a striking view across the amphitheater and toward Palatine Hill. Conclude with a visit to the Roman Forum.
