About this experience

Thanks to your guide/storyteller, you can be transported into the distant world of gladiators: how they lived, trained, loved and died centuries ago.

From the Colosseum we'll walk to the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill to get to know daily life in the city's most important square, its political and commercial centre.

A complete tour of ancient Rome, ideal for families, dreamers and history lovers!
