Smell the blood. Feel the adrenaline infused with the sweat running down your spine and say your final prayers to whatever pagan god brought you to this terrible place. And then step through the Gladiators’ Gate and into the greatest and bloodiest arena on Earth!
Tours & Tours Rome lets you step into the shoes of the greatest warriors in history, indeed, the greatest sportsmen in history, if it’s to your taste to call it that. Sport was certainly what the ancient Romans called it, for the games here within the near 80,000-capacity Colosseum were all about blood, slaughter and savagery, epitomizing the blood-thirst and ruthlessness that helped define the Roman empire as the greatest power of its time.
This very special Colosseum Tour concentrates on taking your mind’s eye back to the very focal point of the greatest show on Earth. You’ll experience what it was like to wait in the rank, dark, infested chambers below, able to hear the roars of the wild animals you’d soon be forced to combat. Then you, as the gladiators were, will be called to meet your destiny - death or glory!
