Rome: Colosseum Underground & Roman Forum with Private Guide - Rome, Italy
  • Anywhere

EXPERIENCE:

Follow in the footsteps of ancient Romans on a walking tour of the Colosseum and Roman Forum with a private guide. Descend to the Colosseum’s underground area, walk on the arena floor, and admire the view from the 2nd tier. Explore the Roman Forum and learn about the rise of the Roman Empire.

Enter Rome’s towering Colosseum and step back in time with your private guide. Explore all areas of the magnificent structure, including the underground tunnels where gladiators prepared for battle. This restricted area can only be accessed by a limited number of visitors each day.

The underground features a central tunnel and other minor tunnels, where gladiators got ready for combat. The Romans used an old elevator to bring animals and gladiators to the arena floor, and the elevator has been reconstructed to give you an idea of how it once was.

Walk across the arena floor where blood was shed and climb to the upper tiers to experience the same view the ancient Romans had. Hear stories from your guide about the Colosseum’s bloody history and those who achieved the remarkable engineering feat.

Your walking tour continues at the fascinating Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, the residential district of the emperors. Stroll amongst the remains as your guide brings ancient Rome to life with stories of emperors, politicians, and common folk, and the mythical origins of Rome.

Please note the order of your itinerary may change depending on the availability of Colosseum tickets on the day.
