Overview

Guidekin summary

One product with the two access levels that matter: the arena floor in a group capped at twelve, or the underground where the lifts and cages sat, with a night version of the underground too. Tickets to all three sites and headsets are included at €99 per person. The attic is not part of it.

From the guide

One Tour, Two Perspectives.

Experience the Colosseum at the heart of Ancient Rome with an expert guide.

The Arena Floor is the core of this experience. Step onto the gladiators’ stage and admire the impressive structure of the hypogeum from above, understanding how the underground system powered the ancient games.

Choose how deeply you wish to explore:

Arena Floor Route (Max 12 Guests)
Walk onto the “stage” of the amphitheater and enjoy panoramic views from the center of the Arena.

Underground Extension (Max 7 Guests)
Descend into the restricted tunnels of the hypogeum and discover the engineering behind the games.

Both options include access to the Upper Levels, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill.

Experience the Colosseum not as a monument, but as a living stage of history.
