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.

You can't visit Rome without visiting the Colosseum! Even just a walk around the outside (for free) will give you a sense of how huge it is!

Visiting the Colosseum was an experience of a lifetime. I recommend anyone who is able to go to Rome to stop and visit the Colosseum.

For the best colosseum tours in Rome you can’t go wrong. The company offers skip the line colosseum tickets and excellent tour guides. We learnt all about the ancient amphitheatre including the original name of the colosseum and How long it took to build the colosseum and who built the arena, as well as the gladiators and wild animals used for the gladiator fighting games and shows. Also colosseum visiting tips were offered via email prior to our Rome trip. We enjoyed the tour of the Roman Forum and Palatine hill also. Meeting by the colosseum metro was easy. Next time we will do the colosseum underground tour which allows access to the dungeons. This travel agency is definitely recommended for Rome colosseum tours and activities who was great with our kids
Hey_

Colosseum tours in Rome provided a great experience of the iconic ancient amphitheatre. The 3 hour Roman forum, palatine hill and colosseum tour with Flavio was fun and informative. Meeting at the colosseo metro was easy. Highlight was the visit to the underground tunnels where the animals were kept and the Colosseum arena floor used for gladiator battles. Touring one of the new 7 wonders of the world was the highlight of our trip to Rome. Grazie Colosseum tours Rome
