Your guide will lead you through fascinating stories of the Colosseum’s construction, its cultural and political significance, and the ways it shaped Roman society, providing a deeper understanding of one of the greatest engineering feats of the ancient world.

This tour grants special access to areas not available to regular ticket holders, including the underground level where wild animals were held before being released onto the arena and where gladiators awaited their turn to fight.
