Is Colosseum Underground & Arena Tour worth it for photographers?

Worth itFor photos

Colosseum Underground & Arena Tour rewards a trip built around beauty & photography.

This is the version of the Colosseum people actually rave about — you stand on the arena floor where gladiators fought and descend into the underground tunnels and cages off-limits to standard tickets. It's pricier and must be booked early, but it turns a shuffle into a story.
