Overview

Go beyond the usual Colosseum visit on a small-group guided tour with access to the Arena Floor and Underground passages—areas typically closed to most visitors.

Stand where gladiators once fought on the Arena Floor, then venture into the Colosseum’s Underground passages to discover the spaces where gladiators and animals were prepared for the spectacles above. Your expert guide will bring ancient Rome to life with fascinating stories of gladiators, emperors, and the dramatic events that took place inside the amphitheater.

With exclusive access, expert storytelling, and a small-group setting, this tour offers a deeper look at one of Rome’s most iconic landmarks—ideal for history enthusiasts and first-time visitors.
