Colosseum Arena Floor Tickets
Avoid the crowds as you walk out onto the coolest restricted area of the Colosseum, not available to regular Colosseum ticket holders - the Arena Floor. Travel back in time as you trace the footsteps of gladiators. Visit the opening to the reconstructed trap door and let your imagination go wild, as your guide describes the types of wild animals that also once contributed to the Colosseum's popularity and significance in ancient Roman society.
Roman Colosseum History
After the Arena Floor, go on a journey to the Colosseum's first and second levels. See where Emperors sat and learn the rules of the gladiatorial games for both competitors and spectators. Learn why the ancient amphitheater was named the Colosseum and more. After spending a total of 1.5 hours inside of the Colosseum, begin your guided Roman Forum tour.
Guided Roman Forum Tour
This Colosseum Arena Floor tour includes Roman Forum tickets and a guided tour of the ruins inside. This area, also referred to as the "Ancient City", is a Roman archaeological site that was once the location of downtown Ancient Rome. Visit some of the most famous Roman Forum buildings, including the Temple of Julius Caesar, Arch of Titus, the Roman Senate House and more. Relive ancient history as you walk down the same roads taken by famous Roman Emperors and philosophers.
Climb Palatine Hill
When your Colosseum Arena Floor with Roman Forum tour concludes, you have free reign to wander around on your own. Climb the Palatine Hill and take in the views over Circus Maximus, relax in the Farnese Gardens, or simply perch on an ancient piece of marble and take in the beautiful surroundings. By the end of the tour, leave the Colosseum and forum with a camera full of incredible pictures of the Colosseum and a mind full of knowledge about life in ancient Roman.

Superb tour!
Our tour guide was very friendly, very knowledgeable, and gave us plenty of time to ask questions and take pictures. I would highly recommend this tour especially if you’ve never seen the forum or Colosseum before.

The Best Thing we Did
This was our first tour with The Roman Guy and it won't be our last. Julia was a wonderful host and kept us entertained with loads of information as well as humour and individual quality time. It was a very hot day and she pointed out where to fill water bottles with free, safe water, the location of the restrooms, etc which was so appreciated. The location to meet up was easy to find and Julia also made sure everyone knew how to get back there for going home. The tour was fascinating and our whole group was happy to sing Happy Birthday to Julia along the way. Thank you so much! Top notch

Frequently Asked Questions
Where to meet?
Green Souvenir Kiosk in front of the Colosseo metro stop - located just outside the lower level. A representative will be there holding a sign with our company name on it.
What to bring?
Archaeological sites are normally paved with rocky terrain so wear comfortable sneakers. Bring sunscreen and a water bottle for hot summer months.
Q: Does my tour still run if it rains?
A: The Roman Guy runs guided tours rain or shine. In cases of heavy rainfall, the Colosseum management may close the Arena Floor at the last minute for safety. We do our best to make alternate Arena Floor arrangements, but we cannot guarantee a substitute date. If your group is subject to closures by the Colosseum and does not get access to the Arena Floor, we still continue on a 2.5-hour tour of the Colosseum and Roman Forum. There is no refund given if the arena is closed for this tour.
Q: What if I'm not sure about my mobility?
A: If you have any doubts about your mobility, we strongly suggest you take a Private Colosseum Tour.
Q: What if the Arena Floor is Closed?
A: Sometimes the Colosseum closes down access to restricted areas with very little notice. This could be due to rain or some sort of repair going on. In this case, we will visit other areas and the tour will run with the same duration. Sorry, but we do not offer a refund if the Arena Floor is closed.
