September 2011 - as Summer comes to a close, so do these tours ... we'll of course update this page as soon as there's news of when these visits are once again available.
Information and ticket booking for after dark tours of the Colosseum, Rome, Italy
Late June 2011 and the authorities in Rome have just announced that bookings are open again for these hot-ticket tours. For now the tours will be running every Saturday night from the 25th of June until the 17th of September (apart from the 2nd of July); with touching naivety it has been declared that the tours will also run on Tuesdays if the Saturday ones sell out. That is not a big 'if'. It's a tiny 'if'. They will sell out, so keep checking back for Tuesday dates.
1. Colosseum by night, 2 hour tours
As was the case last year demand for these visits is huge and they're likely to sell out quickly; we've therefore arranged some of our own pre-booked tours. These come in 2 forms; both are in English, both last 2 hours. The first includes a visit to the Colosseum dungeons whereas the second begins with a walking tour of some of the famous areas by the Colosseum - Piazza Venezia/Campidoglio, the Via dei Fori Imperiali, before entering the Colosseum.
2. Colosseum by night, shorter tours
These tours also come in 2 forms. Again, they're both in English with the first tour lasting 45 to 60 minutes (Colosseum only) and the second tour (70 to 90 minutes) covering both the Colosseum and the Colosseum dungeons.
Please note that for any and all tours the upper level (terzo anello) is not able to be visited during hours of darkness.
You'll also be shown around a special exhibition, 'Nerone', which attempts to paint the Emperor Nero in a slightly more flattering light than history has traditionally lent him.
The capital of the ancient Roman Empire was at its most resplendent under a full moon, and your visit will be illuminated by your own 'private moon', the better to recreate the atmosphere of old.
(Do remember that dates are in European (day-month-year) format.)
