Colosseum Underground Tours

Walk the tunnels of gladiators, stand on the Colosseum’s arena floor, and explore ancient Rome’s most powerful ruins

Beyond the Colosseum’s ruins lies a world of hidden history, and this tour takes you straight to the heart of it. Walking through these dimly lit tunnels, you’ll follow the path of gladiators, stand where wild animals were kept before their fights, and see the complex system of pulleys and trapdoors used to bring spectacles to life.

The Semi-Private Colosseum Underground Tour with Roman Forum and Palatine Hill grants exclusive access to the underground chambers, where the roar of the crowd once echoed through the stone walls. Then, step onto the arena floor, the very stage where history’s most brutal battles played out. “This tour was so much more than what we were expecting and worth every penny! Our guide was outstanding, so knowledgeable and easy-going. We had access to areas that the crowds didn’t, and our group was only our party of 4 and another couple! Practically private! It was unforgettable and highly recommended!!”
