Colosseum Underground and Roman Forum Tour

Excellent tour, our guide Eviss was amazing she was very knowledgeable in the history of the Colosseum, Palantine Hill and Roman forum, well worth the money, did not feel rushed plenty of time at the Colosseum, to walk around after tour, highly recommend this tour especially if you have Eviss!

The Colosseum tour was great. Our guide took us to the reconstructed floor area and then to the floor of the underground where the animals and slaves were kept. We were shown the entryway used by the gladiators to enter the lower level. We also saw a reconstruction of the type of wooden mechanical hoist used to elevate animals onto the arena floor. The guide explained how the colosseum looked in the day and took us to the upper levels so we could see how some of the spectators made to their upper (cheap) seats near the top of the walls. The next tour of the Roman Forum was even better. We met our next guide outside of the Colosseum who gave us a very informative history lesson of the Colosseum, and how its building materials were used removed and recycled to build churches and other structures in Rome in following centuries. We were taken to the Palantine Hill that overlooks the Forum grounds and again were given an excellent explanation complete with photos that showed the various monuments in the Forum grounds as compared the present day ruins. Highly recommend these tours.

The underground tour was awesome, and the Colosseum was great to see. Our guide on the Palatine Hill and the Roman Forum was top notch! Great experience!
