Underground and arena entry is included at €475 per person. Uneven steps throughout, so not one for mobility issues. ## Overview Explore the Colosseum and surrounding area on this 3-hour private tour. Experience the emotion of a Roman gladiator as you descend with your private guide below the Colosseum, to the Underground section, where gladiators, prisoners and wild animals prepared to face their fate in the arena above.
