Colosseum Virtual Reality Guided Tour
Take part in a Colosseum Virtual Reality Guided Tour and start your journey in Ancient Rome. Join the group and set off with a tour guide to discover the Colosseum.
The Colosseum is the largest and most famous Roman amphitheater in the world. Through an exciting, fun and immersive 3D experience, learning its long history has never been easier. It is an experience suitable for all age groups. This way you will give shape and color to your imagination.
What to see in Colosseum Virtual Reality Tour
Meet your tour guide and listen to his or her instructions to make the most of the headset. Trace the history of the Colosseum through three distinct areas: the square; the arena; and finally the Colosseum underground.
With our animated 3D reconstruction complemented by professional multilingual music and audio, exploring the Colosseum has never been more fun! All the contents within the reconstruction that you will observe, were handled by the well-known Prof. Filippo Coarelli and by the Digilab Archeo & Arte3D department of the La Sapienza University of Rome.
By taking part in a Colosseum Virtual Reality Guided Tour, you will find yourself, in other words, walking virtually in the ancient square of the Colosseum; you can then admire the fountain of the gladiators, the Meta Sudans; the Temple of Venus and Rome; the majestic Colossus of Nero from which the name “Colosseum” derives; and the Arch of Constantine, in all its grandeur.
In the Arena Floor Colosseum, raise your head towards the Velarium, its gigantic red curtain that closes to start the show; he walks among the roar of ferocious lions; then witness the fights between gladiators; to conclude, he puts on the emperor’s robes and takes his place. Decide the fate of the wounded gladiator with: “Death” or “Grace”! To conclude the experience, descend into the mysterious Colosseum underground to observe the slaves moving in silence between narrow and dark corridors, ready to prepare all the tools necessary to make the show a success. If you look around you will notice the gladiators sharpening their weapons and the various cages in which the hungry beasts wait to be lifted from the elevators inside the arena.
Once you enter the Colosseum…
The time has come to discover what is left today of all the structure you have seen in Virtual Reality.
Together with your tour guide, enter the most famous monument in the world, the Flavian Amphitheater. Thanks to a Colosseum Virtual Reality Guided Tour, avoid the long queues thanks to the Colosseum Ticket Skip the Line. After the security checks, let its magic overwhelm you completely. Hear the stories about its construction, which took place over 8 years; take unforgettable photos; and finally, close your eyes imagining you are there.
Observe every little detail. The shiny white marbles that covered the floor; the ceiling richly decorated with sculptures and frescoes; go up to the first level and look out to observe the ancient structure of the Ludus Magnus, the gymnasium of the gladiators; find out where the senators sat; crosses the museum, with all its archaeological evidence. So live it; observe it; and imagine it. Your tour guide will be at your complete disposal to answer any questions or concerns.
Once the Colosseum Guided Tour is over, you will be given directions to continue the visit in total autonomy within the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill. Are you still eager to delve into your journey into the history of Ancient Rome, follow your tour guide at the entrance. Using the same Colosseum Ticket Skip the Line, if you wish, you can continue exploring the magnificent temples of Rome; the columns; the triumphal arches and the sumptuous Domus of the emperor Domitian.
Before leaving, you will have all the information you need to be able to continue alone in the Roman Forum and on the Palatine Hill. In conclusion, take part in a Colosseum Virtual Reality Guided Tour and go home having lived an unforgettable experience!

L’Anfiteatro Flavio, meglio noto come il Colosseo, come non si è mai visto e che non ti aspetti!!! Immersi nel vero senso della parola, attraverso la realtà virtuale, nella Roma antica non da semplice spettatore ma come vero e proprio protagonista che cammina nella storia: dalla piazza con il Colosso, all’interno dell’arena, dove ci sono persino i leoni, fino ai sotterranei ….grafica fantastica che rende tutto incredibile!!! Insomma una visita a 360° che ti fa conoscere la storia attraverso la bravura delle guide turistiche, la gentilezza e cortesia di Cristina di Ancient&Recent e soprattutto ti immerge in questa avventura unica, incredibile ed emozionante con l’uso dei visori!!! Assolutamente da provare e riprovare!!!

We are an adult couple open for the last technologies. We booked this tour just to see its potential applied on colosseum … Wowwww, so realistic, especially the underground. You can move in real time with lions and Roman spectators. Recommended also for families.

Absolutly amazing experience of the Colosseum using the Virtual Reality device , which will bring you back in time. Unique opportunity to travel back in the days and see the spectacular Colosseum, just as it used to be, and I can say they don.t give just tours, but long lasting memories and insight view of what the place was like. A big thank you to Richard who was the guide and gave more information about the Colosseum and the Ancient Rome and took time to answer tons of questions without any problems .
Note: Kristina went the extra mile to make sure we were happy. Thank you all!

Ho letto la notizia di un tour tecnologico sulla storia del Colosseo sul giornale “Il Messaggero” e per fare una sorpresa ai miei nipoti di 13 e 15 anni, ho chiamato subito Ancient & Recent. Come sociologo vi posso dire che è stata una esperienza fantastica.
Pensavo di fare un regalo ai miei nipotini ma alla fine l’esperienza e stata così coinvolgente che non c’era più differenza di età, mi sono sentita piccola anche io.
Già conoscevo la storia del Colosseo e avevo fatto un tour in passato abitando a Roma, ma visto in questo modo è tutta un’altra cosa.
La storia antica raccontata cosi, piace, coinvolge e si ricorda. Le curiosità che scaturiscono sono tante e Claudio, la nostra guida turistica è stato fantastico nel rispondere a tutte nostre domande
Grazie e complimenti per l’idea.
