Why choose this Rome tour ?

Join our Colosseum Underground Private Tour and enjoy special access in the underground space, arena floor, and the first level of the amphitheater. Discover the Colosseum’s underground, where gladiators got ready for the combats and awaited their gruesome fate. The Romans even used an old elevator to bring the animals and the gladiators on the arena floor! This elevator was reconstructed to give an idea of how it used to be and to understand the ancient Roman’s engineering.
This Colosseum private tour is fundamental to understand the engineering, history and culture of the Romans. Your visit will end with the Palatine Hill and the Roman Forum, for a complete and comprehensive experience in Rome.
