Access the underground area of the Colosseum closed to the general public with this VIP tour for your own private group of up to 6 people. Begin with express Colosseum entrance to avoid wasting time in line and head straight underground to see where gladiators and wild animals once waited to fight. Then head up to the arena floor and amphitheater seating to learn about its history and architecture. End with a walk through the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill.
This tour meets opposite to the entrance to ""Oppio Caffè" (via delle Terme di Tito, 72) by the gate of access to the Park. The Park entrance is located on the corner of Via di Terme di Tito and Via Nicola Salvi. Your guide will be holding a yellow WalksDevour sign.
Near the Colosseum/Roman Forum
During the special access sections of the tour, you’ll be accompanied by a guard who will open gates to grant you, and a maximum of 23 other guests, exclusive entrance access to the underground and arena floor. Making your way through the underbelly of the Colosseum, you'll see ancient history come alive through fascinating multimedia projections detailing the path gladiators took from their training area to the arena floor. You'll also be able to marvel at a collection of artifacts, including reproductions of the gladiators' famous armor made using the exact same materials and techniques as in ancient times. With your expert guide you’ll also have a full tour of the regular access areas of the Colosseum, including the first and second levels.
Then it’s on to the Roman Forum where you’ll hear about the political history of ancient Rome. Julius Caesar once led his triumphant armies on parade here, and it was also here that successive emperors plotted the growth of Rome.
For those with an interest in history, the Palatine Hill is an unexpected highlight. Vastly underrated, the hill is a much quieter place, where your guide will point out the ruins of the world’s first palaces.
