I really enjoyed the underground tour; it was definitely enhancing my first time at the colosseum. If I didn’t take the underground tour, I don’t think I would’ve enjoyed it because it is quite busy and crowded.
We are looking for an in-depth (live, not audio) guided tour of the Colosseum including Belvedere terrace, imperial balcony, arena floor, and underground. I can’t figure out if each area is a separate ticket or not. I found shore excursions from Civitavecchia that visit different parts of the colosseum like seating area and terraces, or the arena floor and gladiators gate, or underground, ranging 85€ - 150€, lasting 7 hours. All include palatine hill and the forum. We’re not interested in the other sites in the area, as we visited them on a prior visit. We just want to spend a few hours exploring the colosseum. I appreciate any guidance or recommendations you can give in figuring this out.

Hi - My wife and I took a live small group tour (6 people) of the Colosseum through LivTours which was excellent!! During the tour the guide (she did an excellent job explaining everything) explained that although we were going to see the arena, balcony, arena floor, etc. we could not go to the Underground. The reason is that only the company that controls access to the Colosseum sells tickets to the Underground (low number of tickets). Since we only wanted to see the Colosseum one part of the day, the tour we took was excellent!! We took a separate Vatican small group tour through the same company (LivTours) which also was great. Unless you strongly want to see the Underground, the type of tour we took may be a great choice. (We do not receive any credit or money from the tour company - they just did a great job for us.)
