Full description

Visit the Colosseum and get ready to discover stories behind its construction, gladiator fights and its significance in Christianity from ancient Rome till today. A licensed guide will take you on a journey through the Colosseum's 2000 year history. Book this 1-hour tour and you will save valuable time by heading straight to the highlights. Designed as an introduction for first time visitors, the small group tour will be an ideal way of visiting in the company of an entertaining guide. Your tour guide will lead you to some of the most important parts of the Colosseum and answer any questions you may have on the way. You will also discover some of the lesser-known facts about the area around it. Skip-the-line will allow you to spend more time admiring the Flavian Amphitheatre and less time queuing. At the end of the tour, you will be free to stay on and continue exploring. With the same ticket, visit the other two sites, the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, on your own.
