Colosseum Underground & Roman Forum VIP Tour

Rome 3 hours Small group4.8(19,800 reviews)

The Colosseum's underground hypogeum is where gladiators and wild animals were held before being lifted by pulleys into the arena above. Access is restricted and this is Rome's most exclusive experience, standing in the tunnels that once echoed with the sounds of lions and crowds of 65,000. The Roman Forum and Palatine Hill complete the picture of ancient Rome at its peak.

  • Gladiator staging tunnels beneath the arena
  • Arena floor view from underground
  • Roman Forum, heart of the empire
  • Palatine Hill, Rome's founding site
