Rome: Private Colosseum, Arena and Underground Tour with Pick-Up

Azzula was a total rock star guide! So knowledgeable and her enthusiasm and energy made for the perfect experience! Our driver Mossimo was an absolute pleasure as well!

We really enjoyed the tour! Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. We were so lucky to get to also tour the underground.

Viator was excellent ensuring our experience was as expected. From early communication regarding pickup and dropoff as well as timing changes. Our guide Azzurra was fantastic, answered as many questions as we asked, we learned so much from her.

I would recommend this experience to a friend or a stranger, it was that good.

Finalize was a fantastic guide throughout the day. His wit, humor and knowledge made for a very memorable experience. Walking through the underground of the colosseum is something we will always remember. A great day and a great guide!

This was an excellent private tour of the Colosseum for my wife and me, including the underground portion and the Forum. Our guide, Emmanuele, was superb. He was friendly, engaging and extremely knowledgeable. The whole experience was great, and it was well worth the cost. Highly recommended.

Note that there are other tours of the Colosseum that do not include the underground area, but for my money that was the most interesting part.

The visit to the Colisseum underground is essential to understanding it's greatness. You can only access it with a tour like this.

Needs more stars, 5 isn't enough. Marta, our guide, was just brilliant. We never felt rushed so had time to ask a million questions and really soak in the atmospehere around both the Forum and the Colosseum itself. The underground tour just blew our minds.

Book this and be sure to ask for Marta. She made the whole experence a hundred times better and sparked a real desire to learn even more about this awesome place.

Eye of Rome arranged a wonderful private tour of the Colosseum and the Roman Forum. Our guide - Azzurra - was friendly, knowledgeable and fun to be around. She directed us well in an environment where there is so much to see and take in. Highly recommended!

Our private tour of the Colosseum and underground as well as the Roman forum area was the best experience of our trip. Denise, our tour guide, was professional and accommodating. We recommended this tour to people we met while in Rome and they also enjoyed it. This tour is a must-see if you plan to visit Rome.

For my partner’s birthday, I wanted to make one of his dreams come true—seeing the Colosseum in Rome. So, I booked a private tour, and we were lucky to have Gianluca as our guide. From start to finish, the experience was incredible.

The day before the tour, we received Gianluca's number and were able to confirm all the details with him, which gave us great peace of mind. Z(don’t forget your ID as they check it on entrance) On the day of the tour, we were the first ones to enter the Roman Forum, and Gianluca's knowledge was astounding. He pointed out so many fascinating details that we would have missed on our own, and he really helped us imagine what life was like in ancient Rome.

We had a quick coffee stop during the tour, and Gianluca introduced us to his favorite—an authentic macchiato, which was a perfect little break.

The highlight was, of course, the Colosseum. Gianluca managed to get us in without any queuing, and we were able to go straight to the underground, the arena floor, and the main walkways. His storytelling was incredible—he made the whole experience come alive, and we could really feel the excitement of the crowds as if we were living in Roman times.

Gianluca exceeded all our expectations and made the day feel special and intimate. His ability to guide us swiftly through the key points while still sharing so much history was impressive. It was an unforgettable birthday surprise for my partner, and getting to know Gianluca added a personal touch to the whole experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide!
