On this guided skip the line tour, you’ll glide past the extensive queues to gain efficient entry into the amphitheater, where you’ll be able to climb around the remains of a remarkable arena that once seated up to 50,000 spectators!

Imagine the roar of the blood-thirsty crowds as they watched ferocious hand-to-hand battles between gladiators dressed in glinting armor, terrifying struggles between men and wild beasts, and even the majestic spectacle of mock naval battles. This was a showground for extreme events that aided the Roman Empire’s reputation as a grand but ruthless power.

Having been captivated by the Colosseum, you’ll follow your guide to the neighboring Roman Forum, the site of several significant governmental structures that now stand in spectacular ruins. You’ll skip the line here too, as well as at Palatine Hill, the centermost of Rome’s seven hills, which has been referred to as ‘the first nucleus of the Roman Empire’.

Atop Palatine Hill, you’ll peer out over several sensational ancient structures, including the Temple of Cybele and Palace of Domitian. From here, you’ll venture on to discover the astounding Via Appia Antica and spectacular Circus Maximus, as well as the triumphant Terme di Caracalla.

The second section of your extraspecial skip the line tour is an awe-inspiring adventure in the ancient Roman Catacombs. Dating back to the fifth century, these ancient burial grounds are imbued with an eerily beautiful atmosphere owing to the mesmerizing examples of early Christian art that decorate the echoing walls, including ancient frescoes and sculptures.
