Full description
See parts of the Colosseum that are usually restricted on a guided walking tour that gives you special access to the arena floor and the underground tunnels with fast-track entry. Afterward, continue on with a stroll through Palatine Hill and the Roman Forum. As you stand on the arena floor, walk in the footsteps of gladiators and imagine the roaring crowd. Then, descend beneath the colosseum and see the tunnels that connected the colosseum with the Ludus Magnus, where the gladiators would train. Observe the chambers that would house wild animals and see the elevators that were used to release these predators onto the arena floor. Continue with a walk through the Roman Forum followed by a stroll through the ruins of the emperors’ palaces on the Palatine Hill.

Honestly the best money I have spent in my life. Our tour meant we were able to see everything from underground up. Very much recommend as you get an amazing perspective on the history. Our guide Julio was incredible, knew when to pause to give us time and what was important to give more detail on. He was so knowledgeable and you could tell genuinely loved what he did. Lucky enough to only have 6 in our group. Will book again if lucky enough to come back.

Fantastic tour Nicola was a wealth of knowledge and humor. Spent the majority of the time in the colosseum and would have liked to have had a little more time to tour the forum with the guide. Hard to get all of that done in 3 hours, but well worth it

Had the most informative and exciting tour guided by the very knowledgeable guide. Her deep knowledge of the history of Rome and the site was truly outstanding and hard not to appreciate. I am still thinking and going back to the many pictures I have taken, but now with a completely different perspective and appreciation of the history of the place. Highly recommend to anyone looking to learn and discover ancient Roman history.
