This fascinating tour enables you to explore the exclusive areas of the Colosseum, not routinely accessible to visitors, in a small group under the light of the moon.
Your English-speaking, expert guide will meet you outside the imposing Colosseum and provide an introduction to the largest and most impressive arena of the Roman Empire.. Then, skip the line with your guide for a privileged look at the arena floor, a rare chance to stand where those great entertainment spectacles, from the gladiators to the wild beasts, unfolded over 2,000 years ago. Continue to the underground tunnels and chambers; open only for a selected few visitors each day. You’ll be astounded at the engineering skills of the Romans as you view the remains of the 88 elevators that lead up to the arena
floor. The tour will continue to the first levels of the Colosseum, where you will learn more about this hub of ancient Rome and hear the grisly stories of the gladiators that entertained people in their thousands.
