Private Colosseum Underground and Arena Tour

Rome· Ancient city · food · artEnglish2 options

Discover the Colosseum’s restricted Underground passages on a private tour led by a licensed guide. Follow the route once used by gladiators, animals and stage crews beneath the arena, then step onto the Arena Floor and continue through the Colosseum’s main public levels. Choose the standard Colosseum-only experience or extend your tour with a privately guided visit through the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill. Admission to the Forum and Palatine is included with both options; the guided visit is included only with the extended option. Because this is a private experience, your guide can adapt the pace and commentary to your group’s interests while working around the fixed Underground entry time and the site’s required route.

Where this sits in Rome

Rome is about 33 min by road from Rome Fiumicino Airport. Three thousand years stacked on top of each other, still busy being a capital. Stay central and walk — the Forum, the Pantheon and a dozen churches worth the detour are closer together than the map suggests, and the city rewards wandering more than ticking off.
