Colosseum Underground Tour With Official Guide
Overview
This guided tour is provided directly by the Colosseum’s own internal guides – who better to show you the inner workings of this famous amphitheatre! Learn how the underground was used as a backstage area, where not only gladiators waited and prepared for the bloody spectacles but also elaborate stage props to create realistic stage settings, as well as the wild and exotic animals, transported from all corners of the Roman Empire to entertain the Roman mob. Your guide will explain to you how an elaborate and ingenious system of levels and pulleys were used to hoist all of these stage settings through trapdoors, which were opened at the precise moment, on to the arena floor. Your tour will finish on the Arena Floor itself, where you will find yourself standing in the same spot as gladiators and criminals waiting for execution, almost 2000 years ago. Use your ticket to visit the Roman Forum & Palatine Hill by yourself, without standing in any ticket lines!
