- Colosseum Core & Colour Caves™
- by In Rome Tours
- When in Rome, do as the Romans do!
Enter the mighty Colosseum, a monument to the brutality of our kind, and see where gladiators fought and died. It's one of the Seven Wonders of the World and surely the most famous.
This is a first entrance ticket to the Icon of Rome. After an hour or so inside the Colosseum, spread your wings and ascend the Palatine Hill before or after roaming the ruins of ancient Rome.
Soon thereafter, not far from the tourist hotspots of the Colosseum and Roman Forum, explore another world where perfectly preserved relics reveal the reality of life in antiquity.
There are several undisturbed alcoves hidden away near the Colosseum, but none more special than this underground compound, partially buried beneath a minor basilica that has stood for almost 1,600 years.
Each room and every chamber is replete with the most beautiful frescoes this side of Herculaneum. If you want to avoid other people, this is your private space, shelter from the storm, after full immersion exploration of the Icon of Rome and ruined temples.
There's no place like Rome, but it can be a daunting experience for travellers. The likelihood of very large numbers of tourists swarming every poor pillar and pedestal to satisfy social needs does exist.
Always book a tour in Rome that hits the highlights then takes a different direction to places that next to one goes. This is why we created Colosseum Core & Colour Caves. Touring is better when you stray from the beaten path!

Rated 5 / 5 by Daniel M on January 16th, 2024 Super interesting and totally off the beaten path after seeing the Colosseum. We explored what we believe to be the most pristine part of Rome. Had we not booked this activity we'd have missed it. There were literally no tourists near us after the Colosseum. Amazing day.
Rated 4.9 / 5 by Sarah R on April 22nd, 2022 Beautiful place not far from the Coliseum and we were the only people there. We never expected to be able to see such beautiful frescoes in Rome!
