This 2-3 hour tour includes admission to the Colosseum, Palatine Hill, and Roman Forum with two options for exploring these sites: a private guided tour or a self-guided audio tour. The tour begins with fast-track entry to the Colosseum, where visitors spend about one hour inside the amphitheater. The guided tour is led by an official guide for groups of up to 24 people, who explains the history, architecture, gladiator battles, construction techniques, and the mechanisms beneath the arena floor. The self-guided option uses an audio guide app available in six languages, featuring 44 points of interest; the app must be downloaded on a smartphone from 2020 or later. After the Colosseum, the tour continues to the Roman Forum for approximately one hour. Visitors see the site that was the center of political, social, commercial, and religious life in Ancient Rome. The final stop is Palatine Hill, a plateau rising 131 feet above the Forum, where Rome was founded and where imperial palaces once stood. Admission tickets to the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill are included and valid for 24 hours, allowing visitors to explore the Forum and Palatine Hill at their own pace after the tour if desired. The Colosseum reservation fee is also included. The tour does not include hotel pickup, food, drinks, or smartphones for the audio guide. Visitors should expect security checks and possible delays at the Colosseum entrance. A valid ID is required for entry, and children under 18 receive discounts only with valid ID. The tour is not recommended for wheelchair users or those with motor impairments, and any disabilities or mobility restrictions should be communicated in advance.

Stories cover sea battles staged inside, animal cages, gladiator waiting rooms, executions, and the experience of spectators at the large-scale games.
