Colosseum- Underground tour

Hi! My husband and I will be honeymooning in Rome in a month and are desperate to see the underground of the Colosseum! Unfortunately, I missed the ticket sales for English tours by a day and everything is sold out. The tours offered in Spanish are still available but neither of us are anywhere near fluent. We are considering this as an option to at least be able to step foot in place we both want to see. I'd love to her your thoughts on this. I understand we will be missing a lot of valuable information but I do think it's worth it to at least experience a part of the Colosseum neither of us has ever explored.

Also- It appears that the night tour will not be available when we go and nothing is listed on Coopculture. Do private tours have access or are they essentially booking tours with the premise that Coop will have tickets available at some point?

Thank you for your help!

Did you check with The Roman Guy? When all the underground tours appeared to be sold out, we were able to get a spot with them.

Thanks for the reply! A lot of English Tours are still available through tour groups but the cost is what worries us most. I think we will just book with the Spanish guide and read up as much as possible prior to going.

That's a good idea. Private companies charge a ton for these 9 and 15 euros tours.
