Rome, Italy (September 14, 2023) – Travelers visiting Rome now have the opportunity to embark on a unique adventure with ArcheoRunning’s new Colosseum running or walking tour. Following a tailor-made running tour that explores the iconic squares of the Eternal City, the private experience offers insider access to the historic amphitheater’s attic. Founder Isabella Calidonna, an art historian, certified tour guide, and coach for Fidal (Italian Athletics Federation) and Coni (Italian National Olympic Committee), leads all of ArcheoRunning’s offerings.
Unlike regular athletic tours, ArcheoRunning delves deeper into the heart of Rome’s history and culture. The Colosseum tour takes participants around the city to see hidden gems and historic monuments before venturing up to Colosseum’s intermediate gallery, ascending to the third tier, and then even higher with a climb to the attic. Breathtaking panoramic views are the finale of the 2 hour tour. Every route is personalized to the travelers’ preferred departure location, ensuring a truly unique and immersive experience.
ArcheoRunning’s new Colosseum Tour is made possible thanks to the collaboration between ArcheoRunning and Parco archeologico del Colosseo, under the guidance of Director Alfonsina Russo.
The tour is available for up to seven people. The cost is 160€ for the tour in addition to a 20€ ticket to the Colosseum per person. For more information on ArcheoRunning or to book a tour, please visit https://www.archeorunning.com/.
