Colosseum Underground & Dungeons

Experience the Colosseum like few ever do with this exclusive Underground and Dungeons tour, granting access to restricted areas hidden far beneath the arena floor. Your expert guide will lead you through the ancient tunnels, chambers, and holding pens that once housed exotic animals and gladiators preparing for battle. You’ll stand beside a full-scale replica of the elevator that hoisted lions into the arena, then step onto the reconstructed arena floor itself—walking in the footsteps of the warriors who fought and bled for Rome’s entertainment. From here, ascend to the seating levels once filled with roaring crowds to admire the sweeping views once enjoyed by ancient Roman spectators.

Your journey then continues into the Roman Forum, where you’ll stroll the same pathways once walked by emperors, senators, and orators. Explore iconic ruins including the Temple of Julius Caesar, the House of the Vestal Virgins, and the political heart of the ancient city. The tour concludes atop the Palatine Hill, home to the imperial palaces and steeped in tales of power, ambition, and intrigue. With vivid storytelling and expert insight, your guide will bring the ancient world to life and offer helpful recommendations for the rest of your Roman adventure.
