On a guided walking tour, you will be impressed to see parts of the Colosseum that are usually restricted. Also, you will enjoy viewing the arena and walking around the underground tunnels because you will have fast-track entry and special access to these places. Continue your adventure with a stroll through Palatine Hill and the Roman Forum.

On the arena, you can walk in the footsteps of ancient gladiators and present a picture of the past with brutal gladiatorial fights and a roaring crowd. Under the Colosseum, you will find the tunnels that led to the Ludus Magnus, where the gladiators would train.

Observe the elevators that were intended to release predators onto the arena floor and see their chambers. A walk through the Roman Forum and a visit to the antique ruins of the emperors' palaces on the Palatine Hill are also included in your tour. Find out all about these amazing places and plunge into the atmosphere of ancient Rome.

Overall we were pleased with the quality and knowledge of our guides. The places we visited were outstanding and we asked lots of questions! Luca in paticular managed a difficuly portion of the tour in pouring rain. He was awesome. Aside from the rain, my feedback is more about a few confusing aspects. Our itinerary was in reverse order than advertized and we bagan our tour outside covering Palatine Hill and the Forum and then on to the Colosseum where another guide took us to the underground...

Excellent comprehensive tour with Elena our very knowledgeable and friendly guide. It was disappointing though to have the underground tour part of the Colosseum cancelled. This was our main reason for booking this tour. The group we were offered to join instead was meant to have a maximum of 20 people but there were 26.

Excellent educational tour. Tour guide appeared very passionate and knowledgeable. Colosseum was awesome. Due to unforeseen circumstances we were unable to do the underground tour but staff were very apologetic and gave good explanation. Palantine Hill also a must do - amazing views.

Guide was knowledgeable. Tour was well organised. Overall great experience as one gets to see a lot more than a 'normal' entry ticket. Just take note that there are strict time limits that the guide needs to adhere to and therefore time at each viewing point is limited.

Unfortunately the week before our visit we received an email saying the Colosseum had oversold tickets to the underground area and so this was being cancelled. We were moved to another group and got a partial refund however we specifically booked this tour for the underground portion. That being said our guide was excellent and using headphones made it so much easier to get round the busy site. You can actually see much of the underground level from the arena floor and the guide did spend tim...

Such an in depth tour! Our guide, Lorenzo, was amazing. His knowledge of the Colosseum and surrounding areas was fantastic. We learned so much today, so much history. Highly recommend! Be prepared to walk a lot, wear comfortable shoes, the old Roman roads aren’t very forgiving. The provided earpiece was very helpful in hearing Lorenzo’s explanations of the different sites.

This was an Amazing tour!!! Including all the levels of the Colloseum, Roman Forum & Palatine Hill, you get absolute value for your money. Our guide Lorenzo was very informative and knowledgeable, and his passion for Rome’s history was obvious. He stopped regularly in the shade on a hot day, and made sure slower guests could keep up. This tour was with Show Me Italy, and I can’t recommended them highly enough. They reached out 2 days prior to our tour to make sure we knew to bring ID to the t...

Fantastic guide, Scott, who was very knowledgeable and excited to share it which made for a pleasurable tour. Seeing the underground was a treat as well as the second level. The tour was lengthy but it was at a nice pace and the guide took breaks and made sure we had water. We highly recommend this tour.
