This complete tour includes a special entrance in the underground space, arena floor, and the first level of the amphitheater. The first stop of the tour is the Colosseum Underground or “The Dungeons". The underground is organised with a central tunnel and other minor tunnels, where gladiators got ready for the combats and romans used an old elevator to bring the animals and the gladiators on the arena floor. The elevator was reconstructed to give an idea of how it used to be. Visiting the dungeons is fundamental to understand the engineering of the romans. The tour will continue in the amazing Ancient Rome area of the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, the residential district of the Emperors.

Our guide was excellent. He was a retired history teacher and a wealth of knowledge. We had a wonderful dialogue and saw everything we hoped to see.

Our underground tour was cancelled at the last minute. This was the only reason we booked as we had toured the rest of the Colosseum before. We were told there wouldn’t be any underground tours that day, but we could see them happening.
