"We who are about to die salute you" - The Gladiator Trail

Ludus Magnus Gladiatores, Colosseum.

Duration: 2 hours

As you can imagine, the film "Gladiator" has made this our most popular tour. The Colosseum and the gladiators are the reason most people come to Rome in the first place, but how much was fact and how much was fiction. How skilled was Commodus, the famous gladiator-emperor? How bloody was the combat? Were all gladiators as sexy as Kirk Douglas or Russel Crowe? As always the truth is stranger than you can imagine. We take you to the Ludus Magnus - the gladiator training barracks - and on a comprehensive tour of the Colosseum itself. This whole area of Roman history was the reason we started doing tours in the first place, so you can expect something special.
