    Alicia

    Asked on February 2nd, 2026

    For the European Dream Tour, do we get to go inside the colosseum?

    Tour Details
    • TrafalgarOperatorWritten February 2026

      On this tour, going inside the Colosseum is not included; however, an optional experience is offered for €131.00 per adult on day 2 while in Rome, wherein you will explore the Colosseum with a Local Specialist, where gladiators once fought before roaring crowds. Walk beneath its arches and hear how emperors used entertainment to unite the empire. After your visit, enjoy dinner at a local restaurant, sampling Roman specialities just steps from the city's ancient heart.

      All of the optional experiences will be offered to you by your Travel Director at the beginning of your trip. Our optional experiences cannot be pre-booked. Some may be subject to change, depending on the time you are traveling or local circumstances, including weather and days of the week.

    Kim

    Asked on November 23rd, 2025

    How long is each journey, is it by train or coach please?

    Transport
    • TrafalgarOperatorWritten November 2025

      We rarely spend longer than a couple of hours on the coach without a photo stop, visit, or sightseeing, so you can stand up, stretch your legs, and see the sights. Your travel will be on a motorcoach.

      Kim

      TravelerWritten November 2025

      TravelerWritten November 2025

    • TrafalgarOperatorWritten November 2025

      Certainly, we can provide up to three nights of additional accommodation either before or after your tour. In Paris, the designated post-tour hotel is Hotel Oceania Paris Porte de Versailles, priced at AUD 432.00 per person, per night for single occupancy.
