One destination which stands out is the Cabinet of the Masks rooms which are opened exclusively for our guests.

This tour will take you to two restricted access areas inside the Colosseum: the underground area and the Arena Floor. You'll understand what it was like for the gladiators underground in the semi-darkness, surrounded by terrified animals, waiting to be hoisted up to stand in front of the crowds. From the Arena Floor, you'll have an incredible view of the entire amphitheater, as the gladiators would have done they walked through the Gladiator Gate to the deafening roar of 50,000 cheering spectators.

And what of the people who came to watch the games at the Colosseum? In the part of the Colosseum open to the general public, you'll visit the first tier and look down onto the arena, get your first glimpse of the Forum and visit the Imperial box.

Outside you'll pass the Arch of Constantine and skip the line into the Roman Forum.
