This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Colosseum, Piazza del Colosseo, 00184 Rome Italy

Visiting the Colosseum is a common thing to do while in Rome, but with us, we will bring you to special access areas that not everyone has the privilege of seeing, include the Colosseum underground and the Colosseum Arena floor.

Descend into the depths of the Colosseum Underground, where Roman gladiators, prisoners and wild animals were prepared to enter the arena and fight for their lives. Feel the adrenaline-fuelled emotions of the famous games. Don’t miss out on this rare opportunity to enter one of Rome’s most exclusive and highly-requested tours. During this part of the tour only, you and your private guide will join a small group leaded by the official Undergrounds guide.

You'll then proceed to walk onto the exclusive access area of the Colosseum Arena Floor. Here, you'll be explained further of the going ons during the peak years of the amphitheatre, how the Roman Emperors used to act and where they used to sit. You will then get a taste of how the view was for the luckier spectators from the 1st tier.


Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes

Stop At: Roman Forum, Largo della Salara Vecchia 5/6, 00186 Rome Italy

Walk a short distance to the entrance of the Roman Forum and discover the ruins of the political center of Ancient Rome. Your private tour guide will help you understand how this place looked in its heyday and explain the beautiful ruins that remain to this day. Among the many places of interest within the forum is the Temple of Julius Caesar and the House of the Vestal Virgins.

Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes

Pass By: Piazza del Colosseo, 00184 Rome Italy

You will walk along this Piazza in order to access the Colosseum and the Roman Forum.

Nothing was added from the time of the Roman Empire, what you see, is more or less the view that the romans had in the past.

Pass By: Arch of Constantine, Via di San Gregorio, 00186 Rome Italy

Admire the view of the most important Triumphal Arch of Rome dedicated to the Famous Emperor Costantine.

This Arch represents a turning point of the Roman History and Art, a dividing line between the rise of the Christians and the decline of the Roman Empire.

We enjoyed our tour with Ms Laura, the archaeologist. She was knowledgable and told us alot about the area and the architects. The Arena underground and the Forum was new experience for us, however we did not have the time to visit the Palatine Hill (which we paid for).

This tour was worth every penny. If you know nothing about roman culture or the colosseum this is the tour for you. I had a crash course in history completed by a true professional.

This was definitely worth the money. Had an awesome time seeing some hidden areas of the Coliseum as well as an extensive tour of the Roman Forum. If you could get Azzurra then I think you’ve hit the jackpot. She was the best and took great care of us.
