Rome Colosseum

[movin12]

Hello fellow travelers,

Has anyone done the night tour of the colosseum?  I’m thinking less crowds and cooler than during the day in July.  Would the experience be as good as during the day?

I haven't done the night tour, but I have to question how well you can see all the details of the place at night?  It's a huge structure with a lot of nooks and crannies -- not sure how well they can light them all. Does the tour go down to the lower level?

Yes, here is the description from the Roman Guy

 

After the daytime crowds are gone, experience Ancient Rome and the Colosseum at night. This evening tour also gives you access to both the Underground and Arena Floor, when there's almost nobody else inside the Colosseum. Spaces on this tour sell out fast - book now to avoid disappointment. And when we say no crowds, we mean it! In fact, you might not see another tour group while you're inside the Colosseum. If you've seen how popular the amphitheater is during the day, then you understand what a rare opportunity this is.
