What To Expect

Colosseum

See the famous building in Rome with a trip made to be fun and easy for people of all ages. A smart guide who knows much about art and old things will share facts about the theater's deep past. Learn about the great shows and tough fights that happened there. Find out about new ways to build learned from the Romans, the amazing talent of fighters, harsh battles with strange animals, and high-level tools used by Roman builders when making this place. Walk by the first levels and get close to the field to see doors and many systems that helped make the shows work. Your guide will regale you with dramatic stories of sea fights and the pens where the lions waited, the rooms where the gladiators readied themselves before stepping onto the sand, executions, and what the crowds felt sitting in on the most spectacular, extraordinary, and expensive games in the history of humankind.
