Join us on this exclusive Rome tour in the Fascinating underground tunnels of the Colosseum, where gladiators and animals were waiting for their turn to fight. Marvel at ancient stage machinery capable of amazing special effects, mechanical elevators centuries ahead of their time, trapdoors and an incredibly complex system of underground tunnels below the arena that made the Colosseum's spectacles possible. With your private guide, you will discover who the Gladiators were, how they fought, how the crowds cheered them on and why the games were so popular during the Roman Empire. Admire the Arena (which in Latin means sand and originally that is what covered the stage) above the Colosseum Underground to experience the drama of the Gladiators. In the Forum, you will learn about the plot against Julius Caesar and the temple dedicated to him in front of the piazza where Mark Anthony gave his eulogy. Let us guide you to the Palatine Hill to enjoy the breath-taking views of the Eternal City.
