Tour Description

You will visit areas of the Colosseum that for decades have been closed off to the public on our Underground Colosseum Tour which includes the Underground section and the Arena Stage. Our extra special access will take you to places where visitors with a regular ticket are not allowed. Follow your expert, licensed guide beyond locked gates and through underground passageways to reach areas that, until now - only the Gladiators and wild animals would see...

Our Colosseum ""Underground"" Tour will start from the exclusive Gladiators' Gate: we will step right onto the Arena Floor from where we will enjoy a view of the entire arena from a Gladiator's point of view. Next the VIP gates will be unlocked just for our group to reach the Underground section.

Our comprehensive visit of Ancient Rome doesn't stop here. After the Colosseum we'll visit the Roman Forum and walk down the main artery of the beating heart of Ancient Rome: Via Sacra (Sacred Road). This is where all of the excitement once happened, the epicenter of the political and cultural goings-on of the Roman Empire. This is the spot where Julius Caesar was cremated, where Marc Anthony gave his infamous funerary speech, and where the beautiful and mysterious vestal virgins worked day and night to keep the flame burning for the Goddess Vestal at the temple.
