Overview

This tour is highly sought after and extremely limited. The special restricted access to the Underground and Dungeons of the Colosseum means that groups are capped at 15 people, and entry is limited throughout the day. This tour sells out daily and is a very special experience.

When you book this tour, your certified guide can take you onto the Arena Floor as well as below it! You can go into the belly of the arena and see the cages where the animals were kept, the tunnels where gladiators awaited their turn in battle, and even a working replica of an elevator that would release the animals onto the arena floor. You will also get to walk around the seating level of the arena, and even explore the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill with your guide after you finish in the Colosseum.

You definitely don't want to miss out on this once in a lifetime experience!
