Colosseum Underground and Arena Exclusive Private Tour
Overview
Join our Colosseum Underground and Arena Exclusive Private Tour and visit the Hypogeum and the Arena levels of Rome's iconic monument with special, extremely limited access. Explore the Colosseum's secret tunnels beneath the arena where the famous Roman Gladiators prepared for their gladiatorial shows. Discover the system of corridors, hidden trap doors, chambers, and cages where they held exotic animals before letting them into the arena.
Continue on the 1st and 2nd levels of the Colosseum, and hear about the amazing engineering genius of the Romans who built this extraordinary monument.
After the Colosseum, you will continue to the Palatine Hill and Roman Forum with your tour guide. One of the largest archaeological areas in the world, the ruins of Ancient Rome still stand reminding us of a civilization that ruled the world for centuries, and their fame still has not faded.
