You'll want to fill it up, when you learn about our world famous Colosseum Underground Tour!
This tour will include some light hiking up the hill and walking on uneven terrain.
Restricted Area! Venture into the Colosseum Underground where slaves, gladiators and wild animals were held before fighting to the death on the Arena floor that loomed above them.
Restricted Area! Retrace the last steps of a gladiator as you walk out onto the Arena Floor. Imagine the intense atmosphere of 60,000 roaring spectators surrounding you.
Seen both underground and from the Arena Floor, your guide will show you the reconstructions of mechanisms used to pull deadly wild animals onto the Arena Floor during gladiator battles.
This is the biggest triumphal arch in Rome! This 21 meter high arch celebrates Emperor Constantine's victory over Maxentius and the legalization of Christianity in Ancient Rome.
Once home to the Roman Emperors and situated on one of the 7 "founding hills of Rome”, you’ll visit Ancient Rome’s most exclusive neighborhood. The panoramic views of Rome are plentiful from up here!
It's no secret that Romans loved to be entertained, and Emperors were no exception, they just did it with more style. Your guide will take you to Emperor Domitian's own private chariot racing track!
Walk the streets of the political, economical and religious center of Ancient Rome on this Colosseum Tour. A place that was once the pounding heart of the Roman Empire!
The Arch of Titus is home to one of the earliest carved reliefs of the Menorah. During this Ancient Roman tour you'll learn about the Jewish Rebellion against the Romans in 70AD and its consequences.
Your guide will show you the temple where Rome's eternal flame once burned. Hear how the Vestal Virgins, whose privileges were matched with extreme sacrifices, kept this flame burning and why.
Vestal Virgins were well respected in the Roman society and lived privileged lives in comparison to other women. You'll be shown their statues that stand in the garden of the temple.
Buildings that still stand in the Ancient Forum remind us of some of the greatest men that ever lived, like the Temple of Antoninus & Faustina or the Senate House where Julius Caesar had his funeral.
A building where many of the world's most important decisions at the time were made, your guide will tell you about the Senate House. Imagine if these walls could speak!
Once the largest building in the forum, this cathedral is a marvel of Roman architecture. Towering above all other buildings in the area, it is hard to miss!
This Temple was built in honor of Julius Caesar, where legend has it his body was burned. There is a strange feeling at these ruins and your guide will tell you Caesar's story.

Description
** If you have CHILDREN under the age of 18 in your party, please send us a copy of their passports for proof of age so we can purchase their tickets in advance.**Restricted access to the underground is given to The Roman Guy by the management of the Colosseum, a 2000-year-old building. They reserve the right to change our start time or even in very rare cases cancel a tour for any reason including maintenance. We would inform you a few weeks before your tour if there are any changes. ** In the case of heavy rainfall the Colosseum management may close access to"restricted areas" at the last minute for reasons of safety. In such circumstances, we will do our best to make other arrangements for you to see the restricted areas, but cannot guarantee availability on a substitute date. **The Roman Guy runs guided tours rain or shine. If your group is subject to closures by the Colosseum and you do not get access to restricted areas due to bad weather, we will still continue with a 3.5hour tour of the Colosseum, Roman Forum & Palatine Hill, excluding the restricted areas. We will then refund you a proportion of the tour cost ($20). The Roman Guy is learning how to control the weather but has yet to perfect it. ---If you have any doubts about your mobility, we strongly suggest you take a Colosseum private tour.

My daughter and I took tour the Coliseum underground tour including the Roman Forum and more this week with Mazia (so?). She is absolutely amazing! ThMy daughter and I took tour the Coliseum underground tour including the Roman Forum and more this week with Mazia (so?). She is absolutely amazing! This 3 1/2 tour was well planned, efficient and incredibly informative. Mazia is friendly, so knowledgeable, protective of the group within the crowds, and forceful in getting her tours to see as much as absolutely possible. We LOVED her! We even took her suggestion for the best place for dinner and that was also an A+. I would book the Roman Guy tours again anytime...more

The guide has done an excellent and detailed history presentation, allowing to understand the context while walking into the places (Rafaella E.)

Maura was enthusiastic, knowledgable and great in terms of leading the group. We purchased the tour which allowed us to go underground at the colosseum- do it, you won’t be disappointed!! All in all, one of the best tours I’ve been on in a city...more

We'd originally booked to do the tour on our first day in Rome and then discovered that was the only day we could get tickets for the Vatican. Not a problem for The Roman Guy who immediately switched our booking to another day. On the day, the whole experience was brilliant. The organisation was very professional, the ear-phones actually worked and our guide was knowledgeable and passionate about his subject. He really brought the whole tour to life for us. Shame about the weather but we won't blame The Roman Guy for that!..more

Really love the ear pieces that comfortably wrap around and sit against your ear. They picked up a signal from the radio transmitter without a cord to get in the way. The sound was clear and easy to pick up even when you were a few feet away from the guide. Our guide was friendly, cheerful, fun and very knowledgable. It was raining heavily when we got to the tour so the underground portion had to be cancelled due to flooding of the colosseum. The Roman guy reps were great! They offered to rebook us for a later time or give us a partial refund. We took the partial refund and our guide added on extra time to the Palatine tour. Our guide was so knowledgeable. We were constantly entertained and the tour flew by. At the end we took our excellent Roman Guy map and easily found our way around town. Great Map with excellent restaurant recommendations!!..more
