On this tour you will descend into the dark heart of the Colosseum. Here the gladiators could hear the cheering of the crowd awaiting them, or the roar of a lion about to be lifted from the dungeons underneath the floor to the blinding light of the Arena. Here, perfectly synchronized scenery changes were engineered by the best minds of the time to offer the excited crowd the best possible show in the whole Roman Empire. Today, we want to offer you the best possible Colosseum tour in Rome!

We created two tour options so that you can decide if you want to join a small group tour of the Colosseum Underground with max 12 people, or a larger group tour of 24. In making your choice please consider that most tour companies in Rome cluster their small groups when entering the Colosseum. We don’t. Either you take a group tour of 12 people or a group tour of 24. Go back to the top of the page to choose your preferred tour option!

- What Will You Do

It was here, in the Colosseum Underground that the exciting and yet horrific shows that would take place on the Colosseum arena, were planned out, prepared and put up with the utmost attention. During this special Colosseum underground tour you will be able to see a newly constructed elevator, recreated by experts, which demonstrates how the Romans hoisted animals up to the arena level. There were twenty-eight of these elevators in the Colosseum, each powered by eight slaves. After exploring the dark tunnels of the Colosseum Underground, we will raise again to the street level to enter the actual arena, the stage where the show took place and the blood shed. Here the gladiators fought for their lives against animals and humans as well.

- What To Expect

Despite much damage by fire, earthquakes and looting this stunning amphitheater has survived the centuries and it is still impressive today for its colossal size, inferior in no aspect to any modern stadium. The Colosseum could accommodate from 50,000 up to 80,000 thousand spectators, all coming to watch their favorite gladiators risking their lives on the arena in various and different ways: sword fights, animal hunts and even naval battles!
