Discover the Colosseum Underground on this walking tour of the Ancient City. Learn the rich history of the monument with a fun and knowledgeable guide. The tour will descend to the Underground of the Colosseum and explore the various tunnels and chambers. Gladiators used these tunnels to enter the arena from their training area in the Ludus Magnus. Exotic and dangerous animals were kept in underground chambers and would be released onto the arena floor to surprise the gladiators in the middle of battle.

Explore the first and second levels of the Colosseum and be sure to enjoy the breathtaking views of the Ancient City from the 2nd floor balcony.

    Magda was amazing and so knowledgeable. She got us in and out of the crowds and knew the best place for photos.

    Humi was a good guide. Lots of interesting facts and history shared. Good pace. Wished we could have had the underground part of the tour but it was changed. Viatour handled it well though with a partial refund. Worth going in a tour group even if just to skip the lines.

  • Excellent tour

    Magda was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable and a good storyteller. Unfortunately, her audio transmitter ran out of battery in the middle of the tour and we lost out on the excellent information she was trying to provide. Hence the 4-star rating . Recommend that all participants check their battery level before leaving on the tour. That was disappointing. Otherwise, the tour was excellent.

  • Very dissappointed and feel I have been robbed!!!

    Went to the destination meeting place 1/2 hr before required. Was informed our trip time was changed from 10:30am to 2:25 pm . Had not been informed via call or text of this change. Local guide service said to contact company for refund which was due to not our fault. Refund was refused by the company!!! Very disappointed as we scheduled this many months before our trip and now we are out the money!!! Do not use this company!!!
