Colosseum Tour for seniors, also slow-paced: timeless history

Explore the Colosseum with skip-the-line tickets, the Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill with a private tour tailored to the specific needs of seniors, at a leisurely pace with necessary breaks, following accessible paths within the archaeological park for wheelchair users.

Once detached from the urban fabric and culture of Ancient Rome, the Colosseum was one of its pinnacles. Be captivated by the power of history, narrated by your local guide - an archaeologist or historian experienced in Rome tours for seniors. Place yourself in the living context of the time, populating the stands, corridors, and arena with senators, soldiers, women, and gladiators, entering their thoughts, seeing how they dressed, and discovering their habits.

After touring the Colosseum, at your own pace and time, visit the Roman Forum, the public space, the street, the temples among the oldest in the ancient world, a stage through the centuries for incredible historical events crucial to our society, leaving behind surprising traces of their legacy. Understand in your tour of the Roman Forum how it developed, how it changed, the use and political relevance of the Senate, of the many temples, of the pagan basilicas where Romans lived, debated, celebrated religious feasts, and military triumphs.

Finally, you and your guide will decide, based on your energy level, whether to explore the most accessible part of the Palatine Hill or discover other sites within the Roman Forum. In this Rome tour dedicated to seniors, you will also learn about the role of the elderly in ancient Rome, considered wise and role models for the young.

For a broader view of the city we recommend you also explore the Vatican City with our Vatican Museums Tour for seniors. While Renaissance and Baroque developments are the subject of our Tour of Rome's city center for seniors.

NOTE: Under new rules, Colosseum skip the line tickets must have the full name of every visitor.
