Step beyond the ordinary and descend into the hidden depths of the Colosseum Underground, where the secrets of the gladiators, wild beasts, and ancient engineering come to life. Accompanied by your private guide, walk through the shadowy tunnels where Rome’s most legendary battles were prepared. Stand under the original arena floor, where the roar of the crowd once echoed, and uncover the intricate network of passageways that allowed for the seamless execution of grand spectacles. As you explore, your guide will share gripping stories of the gladiators’ fate, the ingenious mechanisms used to elevate wild animals into the arena, and the hidden world that made these bloody games possible.

Leaving the Colosseum behind, follow your private guide to one of Rome’s most exclusive hidden sites, accessible only to a select few. Beneath the Temple of Claudius on the Celian Hill lies a vast network of ancient quarries, where time has stood still for centuries. In total privacy, with only your guide and a professional speleologist, descend into this subterranean world, where emerald-green lakes shimmer in the darkness. The silence is absolute—no crowds, no other visitors—just you and the awe-inspiring beauty of this forgotten place. Learn about the quarry’s origins, its role in ancient Rome, and the natural phenomenon that created these hidden waters.
