We invite you on an unforgettable journey into this secret Rome with our Colosseum Underground & Afterhours Celio's Secret Lakes private tour.
Your adventure begins with a convenient hotel pick-up, as we escort you to the heart of the ancient world for a truly special experience.

But the adventure does not end there. From the Colosseum, you will journey to the nearby Celio district, home to one of Rome’s most guarded secrets.
Here, beneath the ruins of the Temple of Claudius, lies a network of ancient caverns and lakes. Led by a professional official speleologist, you will descend into a hidden world that few ever witness.
With helmets and lights, you will explore eerie, water-filled grottoes where time seems to stand still.

Buy as a giftMarco was an amazing tour guide. The information he provided about the colosseum was amazing. He even recommended a place to eat afterward and helped us get there. The cave was also very informative.There kids really liked the caves but ensure you have food shoes. It’s slippery in some parts. I would highly recommend this trip. I have 2 12 year old boys and a 14 year old daughter who went with us and it kept them as well.
