Colosseum Tour with Virtual Reality & Exclusive Gladiators Barracks Access

Meet your expert guide in front of the Colosseum and get an introduction to Rome’s most iconic ruin. But before you head inside you’ll slip on your VR goggles for your first ancient vista of the day: an enormous, bronze statue of Nero that is now entirely lost.

Next, you’ll head into the Ludus Magnus, a nondescript ruin that was once the training grounds of the gladiators that fought and died next door in the Colosseum. As your guide tells stories about the brutal lives of these ancient sports stars, your VR goggles will rebuild the gladiators’ cells and practice ground, even adding a few gladiators in training, only a few feet away.

Skip the line into the Colosseum for more stories from your expert guide and a full tour of this jaw-dropping structure. After the Colosseum, you’ll head into the Roman Forum, the hardest-to-interpret of Rome’s ruins. Here, your guide will help demystify everything and help bring Rome’s ancient civic center to life.

End on a high note by walking up the Palatine Hill to learn about the ancient Beverly Hills of Rome and get a view over the Circus Maximus. Today, it’s a wide, grassy field, but you’ll learn how it was once the grandest stadium in the world.

With the help of an expert guide and virtual reality, Ancient Rome is about to become more immersive than it has ever been.
