Skip the line Colosseum Bible Group Tour!
The only official tour for JW’s inside Colosseum, Palatine and the Forum!
Unfortunately this tour is not suitable for anyone with mobility issues who requires a walking stick, walker or wheelchair or is unable to walk longer distances!
This tour includes climbing about 90 steps and hills!
An unforgettable tour inside one of the most important monuments of Rome, described as one of the new seven wonders of the world!
I will lead you inside the Colosseum, taking you back in time: from its impressive construction project to the excitement of the gladiator games along with all the truly incredible stories behind Rome’s most famous landmark.
We will see the famous biblical stone mentioned in the g 96 22/2 p. 31. At the end of the tour, all the information from g 91 8/4 p. 24-27 will come alive for you!
Under the shadow of the arch of Titus, we will explain the Jesus prophecy in Luke 19:41-44 21:20-22
We will feel like emperors… standing on the terrace of the Caesars on the Palatine Hill, considered one of the most beautiful spots in the eternal city..
We will discover together all the secrets of the 3 Caesars mentioned in the bible, and through two of them we will discover the fulfillment of nine Biblical prophecies!
Before long, you will find yourself in the roman forum: the main political and administrative centre of this ancient city. We will walk among religious temples, through triumphal arches and past majestic basilicas to the pulpit where the caesars gave their legendary speeches!
You will truly enjoy learning about the history of Rome and the fascinating context that gave birth to Rome. All your questions will be answered and your curiosities explored!
Why are the arena and the underground of the Colosseum not included in the tour?
Because from the senator’s box and from the opposite side of the arena, we will have exactly the same view of the Colosseum! The underground are not included because it is very difficult to find tickets, and even if there were, it would mean raising the price of the tour a lot and making it accesible to only a few (a three-hour tour of Colosseum with underground/forum and only a small part of Palatine is about 200/250 euros per person)
Furthermore, by saving 15 minutes inside the Colosseum and “skipping”the arena (that anyway we will see from the opposite side), we will have the opportunity to do a complete unforgettable visit of the emperor’s palace on Palatine Hill, as is never shown in any other three-hour tour.. trust those who know the Colosseum better than their own home!
And so you will have the best three-hour tour of the archaeological park on sale and at the lowest price in Rome, is guaranteed!
However, if you prefer a complete 3 hour tour of the colosseum with the arena/underground or the glass elevator included, (and the Caesar’s palace automatically excluded) you can contact other companies via trip advisor that do this! (180/250 euros per person)
Visitors with mobility issues
Colosseum offer free entry to all disabled visitors have a with certified invalidity of more than 74%. For visitors who are not self sufficient, free entry is also extended to one companion.
However due to the hills and many steps inside Colosseum and Forum, wheelchairs and scooters, are not permitted in some areas!
Being alone, I m unfortunately unable to open extra private tours in general, and so to accomodate anyone requiring a wheelchair/scooter on my Colosseum regular Bible group tour!
If you need a wheelchair/scooter you need to book a private tour that costs around 200/250 euros per person, not a group tour.
