1.Attic Colosseum Tour: Upper Tiers & Panoramic Views
Your Attic Colosseum Tour begins at the Colosseum, where you will enter with priority access and ride a glass elevator to the upper levels of the amphitheater.
You will first reach the third tier, walking through some of the best-preserved sections of the building.
From here, the tour continues to the fourth level and, for those comfortable with heights, to the fifth tier — the highest accessible point of the Colosseum.
From the top, you will enjoy breathtaking 360-degree views over the arena, the Roman Forum, the Palatine Hill, and the modern city beyond.
This elevated perspective allows you to fully grasp the scale and complexity of the amphitheater.
Along the way, your guide will explain how the building was constructed in only ten years, describing Roman engineering techniques, materials, and logistics.
You will also learn about gladiatorial combats, animal hunts, and public executions that once took place inside the arena.
2.The Palatine Hill: Rome’s Origins & Imperial Power
After the Colosseum, your Attic Colosseum Tour continues to the Palatine Hill, the most important of Rome’s seven hills and the legendary birthplace of the city.
Here, your guide will recount the story of Romulus and Remus and explain why the Palatine became the symbolic and political center of Rome.
In imperial times, emperors chose this hill for their residences, building vast palace complexes overlooking the Forum.
You will walk through the ruins of the imperial palaces and learn about the lives, ambitions, and rivalries of the emperors who ruled the Roman world from this commanding position.
3. The Roman Forum: The Heart of Ancient Rome
The final stop of your Attic Colosseum Tour is the Roman Forum, the true center of ancient Roman life.
While the Colosseum hosted public spectacles, the Forum was the place where politics, justice, and religion shaped the empire.
As you explore the site, your guide will point out iconic monuments such as the Arch of Titus, the Temple of Julius Caesar, the Temple of Vesta, and the Senate House.
This is where Julius Caesar was cremated, where Cicero delivered his famous speeches, and where Mark Antony addressed the Roman people.
Walking through the Forum provides a powerful conclusion to your journey through ancient Rome.

EXCELLENT Based on 123 reviews Posted on Scamper13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As an individual living with a hearing disability, private tours are my preferred choice when visiting major historical sites. Italian ArtVentures did not disappoint with the Underground Colosseum Tour with Arena. Giovanni was highly knowledgeable and his passion for Roman history was evident when providing details of various points throughout the tour. He also went at a very comfortable pace so I could capture as much information as I could. I walked away with more golden nuggets of information than when I started. The Italian ArtVentures team strives to provide their customers an excellent experience from the moment one books with them.Posted on Kyle MerkerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an amazing day touring Rome with Giovanni Vergineo from Italian ArtVentures Private Tours. Giovanni was kind, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable — he’s an archaeologist, and it really shows. His stories and insights brought every site to life. From the Vatican to the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, and Pantheon, he took wonderful care of us and made sure the day moved at a comfortable, relaxed pace. It was the perfect way to experience the city — informative, seamless, and memorable. Highly recommend Giovanni and Italian ArtVentures to anyone visiting Rome! 🇮🇹Posted on A M FLANNERYTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Knowledgeable guide with great insight into the Vatican museum combined with an engaging personality and presentation. I highly reccomend GiovanniPosted on Patrick ScrogginTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We booked a tour of Colosseum, Palatine Hill and the Forum with Giovanni to help us use our time in Rome most efficiently. Giovanni’s explanations in perfect English helped us to understand the history behind the grand monuments and fascinating architecture. We covered a lot of ground and a few steps up and down too. His background as an archaeologist was so interesting to get a feeling of how the sites looked originally and what it took to restore them. Highly recommend getting a tour with him!Posted on Mark v.V.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend you to consider Italian ArtVentures for a fantastic guided experience. Giovanni is incredibly knowledgeable and nice to listen to. I think he just knows how to find the right balance between humor and seriousness, between intens passionate storytelling and relaxed admiring of the beauty that Rome has to offer. Sights that seem uninteresting, or sometimes not (clearly) visible anymore nowadays, he brings to life with his extensive knowledge of archeology and the history of Rome. Be clear in your wishes and preferences, ask him any kind of question, he really seemed like a capable guide able to provide something extra, something special and definitely more depth. The Colloseum was great and impressive, but thanks to you I will mainly remember how you showed me around the Palantino Hill and Forum and turned ruins and rubble into an astonishing educational origin story of such a beautiful city. Thanks Gio!

Wat een fantastische ervaring! Onze gids nam ons mee op een privé tour langs het Colosseum en het Palatijnse Forum, en het was werkelijk magisch. Vanaf het eerste moment voelde het alsof we terug in de tijd stapten — onze gids wist zóveel interessante verhalen en verborgen details te vertellen, dat de ruïnes echt tot leven kwamen.😁 Geen eindeloze rijen, geen drukte — alleen wij, de geschiedenis en een gepassioneerde gids die precies wist hoe hij alles boeiend en persoonlijk moest maken. We hebben zoveel geleerd én gelachen. De combinatie van kennis, humor en enthousiasme maakte deze tour echt onvergetelijk. Als je Rome bezoekt, boek deze tour! Het is absoluut de beste manier om de geschiedenis van het Colosseum en het Palatijn te ontdekken. Wij zouden het zó weer doen! 🇮🇹✨ Thanks Giovanni !Posted on John OwensTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My spouse and I enjoyed a fantastic tour with Giovanni V. His deep knowledge of the Colosseum and its surroundings brought the history to life in an engaging and enjoyable way. We wholeheartedly recommend Giovanni as your tour guide.Posted on Paula Mèndez AzuelaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our tours where amazing. We booked a day for Pompeii and This tour was amazing. I highly recommend doing both Pompeii and Ercolano, and another day for Paestum. Being with an archeological expert is a game changer for the experience. Italian Artventures was incredible providing guidance in what to book according to interests and time available, and where attentive during our whole trip. Our guides where amazing and experienced. We would absolutely repeat a tour with the company and the guides.Posted on Jim JaramilloTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Emiliano was an amazing guide. So much knowledge of history. To bypass the lines was completely worth every pennyPosted on Shane GasbarraTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were extraordinarily fortunate to have Giovanni (the founder of Italian ArtVentures) as our private tour guide, not once, but twice: for a visit to the Etruscan Museum at the Villa Giulia and for a day trip to Hadrian's Villa and the Villa d'Este. Giovanni is both a true expert and an engaging storyteller, in addition to being a personable and easygoing guy. All details were handled seamlessly, including a professional driver for pickup from, and return to, our hotel in Rome, even though one of our tours was scheduled at the very last minute. Best of all, he has an innate "sixth sense" of how to adapt his tours to suit the interests and pace of his clients, whether they be art history lovers (like us) or casual tourists.
