Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill - Arena and Underground Guided Tour

Discover the Colosseum from a completely different perspective and descend into areas that remained beyond the reach of most visitors for centuries. This tour will help you better understand the scale and significance of one of the most recognisable monuments of ancient Rome - a place where spectacles, gladiator fights and displays of imperial power once took place.

The tour takes place in a small group of no more than 24 people, making the experience more comfortable and allowing easier contact with the guide. It is a good option for those who want to explore history in a more intimate way and avoid the feeling of rushing through the visit.

During the tour, you will enter the most famous part of the amphitheatre, but the greatest highlight of this experience is the descent into the Colosseum underground. This was the place where gladiators waited before entering the arena, while exotic animals were kept in cages before the spectacles began. You will see the remains of former lifts, trapdoors and corridors, which formed the complex backstage of this monumental structure.

A walk through this part of the monument will allow you to see the Colosseum differently than during a standard visit. You will explore places that were once inaccessible to spectators, making it easier to imagine how this impressive amphitheatre functioned. There will also be an opportunity to admire panoramic views over the interior of the Colosseum and stand almost in the same perspective from which the arena was once seen by those taking part in the spectacles.

This is an encounter with the history, architecture and atmosphere of the Eternal City that will stay with you for a long time. If you want to see the Colosseum not only as a symbol of Rome, but also as a place full of hidden stories, this tour will be an excellent choice.
