1. Colosseum Underground, Arena, and Gladiator's Gate
Our Underground Colosseum Tour includes access to the first and second levels of the Colosseum, as well as the Underground area, where gladiators and wild animals once waited before entering the arena.
These hidden corridors reveal the complex machinery and organization behind the ancient spectacles.
You will also step onto the Arena Floor, entering through the Gladiators’ Gate and standing at the center of the amphitheater.
From here, you will experience the Colosseum from the perspective of those who once fought before thousands of spectators.
Your private driver will pick you up at your hotel and take you to the Colosseum, where your guide will meet you.
With skip-the-line tickets, you will enter directly and begin your guided visit of the largest amphitheater ever built.
During the tour, your guide will explain how the Romans managed to construct such an extraordinary building in less than ten years, focusing on engineering techniques, materials, and architectural innovation.
But, the Colosseum visit is only the beginning of your Underground Colosseum Tour.
2. Palatine Hill: The Birthplace of Rome
The second part of your Underground Colosseum Tour takes you to the Palatine Hill, traditionally considered the birthplace of Rome.
As you walk up the hill, your guide will talk about the legend of Romulus and Remus, the twin sons of Mars and Rhea Silvia, abandoned as infants and raised by a she-wolf.
These myths will be placed in their historical and archaeological context, helping you understand the origins of Roman civilization.
The Palatine Hill later became the preferred residence of Roman emperors. You will explore the remains of the Imperial Palace and learn about ancient Roman life, political power, and the rivalries that unfolded within these vast palace complexes.
3. Visit the Roman Forum: The Heart of Ancient Rome
The final stop of your Underground Colosseum Tour is the Roman Forum, the political, religious, and social center of ancient Rome.
Here you will walk among temples, basilicas, and public buildings where Roman history was made.
You will see the places where figures such as Julius Caesar, Mark Antony, and Cicero addressed the Roman people, and walk along roads once used for triumphal processions.
Your guide will also discuss key themes such as the role of the Vestal Virgins, the transformation of pagan temples into churches, and the events surrounding Julius Caesar’s assassination, connecting monuments and history into a clear and engaging narrative.
