must do!! I did a handful of tours while in Rome and this was my favorite. You get a totally different experience and learn more about the colosseum through the underground tour.

Caelyn – United States

The tour was fantastic and was with a tour guide from the colosseum itself, so this provider is really just coordinating the purchase and giving of tickets. The underground section was incredible! If you can’t manage to get tickets through the colosseum’s official website I’d highly recommend although the price of it compared to what it’d cost buying directly from them stings a bit. Price to be paid for convenience I suppose!

The tour was amazing. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and got us into areas first and without other groups. She knew everyone which gave us special access. Small group meant we only had 4 people in total in our tour (and we consisted of 3 of those)
