What to expect
Step into one of the most exclusive parts of the Colosseum in the company of a local expert guide. Tour the tunnels of the Colosseum Underground and travel back in time to Ancient Rome. These ruins can be hard to interpret on your own, but with a group of no more than 18 people, you'll have access to your guide and plenty of time to ask whatever interests you.
As your small group marvels at how incredible the architecture of the Colosseum remains after nearly 2,000 years, your guide explains the seating plan at the average games - from the emperor's seat to the gentry, peasants, and finally, the ladies.
After your extended tour of the Colosseum (including general access areas too), you'll head over to the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill - once the center of politics and commerce in Rome. From the mansions of emperors to the temples of humble hearth goddesses; businesses, monuments, and governmental buildings will come to life as your guide tells vivid stories of the men and women who created this incredible civilization.
