As others said its a scam. Its not at night. Its not private. You do not go the arena floor or underground. You just overpay for standard access. There's still thousands of people there in broad daylight. I could tell by the guides face when I said something that it happens all the time. Viator did a partial refund. Its not about the money. You took something that I was providing for my family and clearly do it every day to other families.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Dear Shelvie_L,
Thank you for your feedback. We take all guest concerns seriously and would like to clarify the details regarding your booking.
Our records indicate that you selected the Colosseum by Night Guided Tour – 5:00 PM Evening Option at €89 per person. This tour is described as an early-evening experience and explicitly states the following inclusions:
"No Underground access: Colosseum inside + Roman Forum, Via Fori Imperiali Exterior View till Piazza Venezia. Duration: 2 hours."
For guests seeking a true night experience with exclusive access, we offer a separate 8:00 PM Night Tour with Underground Access at €199 per person, which was clearly available as an alternative at the time of your reservation.
We regret that the tour did not align with your expectations. However, we must emphasize that the inclusions and exclusions were clearly outlined prior to purchase. In recognition of your dissatisfaction, we processed a partial refund as a gesture of goodwill, despite the non-refundable nature of the tickets.
We are sorry that your experience fell short of what you had hoped to provide for your family. Please rest assured that we are committed to transparency in our tour descriptions and continuously review our communications to avoid any future misunderstandings.
We wish you and your family all the best.
Yours faithfully,
Discover Rome Tours

Well, it's summer, so it is not nighttime at 5pm. Colosseum closes at 6. There isn't enough time to get the full experience. Meeting time was 445. Guide didn't show up until 530. Other tours offer Colosseum, Palatine Hill, and Forum for way less money. Communication started out good but then messages did not get communicated. 2 of us couldn't make it due to illness and the 2 that made it were rushed. They were the 2 most excited for the tour. Such a huge disappointment.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Dear Kelley,
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations, and we would like to clarify a few points.
Regarding the tour time: You selected our 5:00 PM Evening Tour, which is clearly described in the booking details as an early-evening experience. This tour does not include underground access. We also offer a later 8:00 PM Night Tour with underground access (at a higher price point), which was available as an alternative option at the time of booking.
Regarding the guide's arrival: The meeting time was set for 4:45 PM to allow for ticket collection, group organization, and a prompt 5:00 PM entry. Our guide arrived approximately 5–10 minutes late due to difficulty finding parking in the busy area around the Colosseum, as he explained to the group upon arrival. We understand this was an inconvenience, and we apologize. However, we want to clarify that the guide did not arrive at 5:30 PM as suggested; the delay was minimal and did not significantly impact the tour duration.
Regarding communication: We acknowledge that our communication could have been more consistent. We are reviewing our internal processes to ensure all messages are relayed promptly between our team members.
Regarding missed participants: We are sorry that two members of your party were unable to attend due to illness. We do our best to accommodate such situations and regret that we could not offer a solution on this occasion.
We understand your disappointment and take your feedback seriously. We will use it to improve our services moving forward.
Kind regards,
Discover Rome Tours
Gabriel_T, Jul 2026
Night tour is the way to go. It’s much cooler and the crowd is nonexistent. Moraro did an amazing job guiding us step by step through the colosseum. He helped take our pictures at all the right spots. The operators communication was great so we found the meet up point easily. We felt like it was just us touring the colosseum.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Hi Gabriel, thank you so much for this incredible review! We're absolutely thrilled that the night tour exceeded your expectations. It really is a game-changer with the cooler temperatures and the crowd-free experience—it makes the Colosseum feel like your own private wonder. Moraro will be overjoyed to hear your kind words; he truly loves guiding step-by-step and making sure everyone gets those perfect photo memories. We're also glad our communication made the meet-up seamless. Knowing you felt like it was just your group touring makes our day. We hope to have you on another adventure soon—grazie mille!
Keith_G, Jul 2026
Our guide was fantastic. He was very engaging, knowledgeable and passionate about the history of the Colosseum.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for your wonderful feedback, Keith! We're delighted that the night tour exceeded your expectations and that your guide's engaging presentation deepened your appreciation of the Colosseum's history. We take great pride in our team's expertise, and your review means a lot to us. We hope to see you again in Rome!
Linus_W, Jul 2026
We had a great guide, Milan, who was very knowleagable and kind enough to answer our million questions
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad to hear that Milan made your nighttime Colosseum tour such a memorable experience. He truly enjoys sharing his knowledge and answering questions—no matter how many! We'll be sure to pass along your kind words to him. We hope to welcome you on another tour in the future! Grazie e buona giornata!
Jennifer_F, Jul 2026
The tour guide was WONDERFUL, but the tour we purchased included the Arena Floor and when we arrived, the tour company gave us tickets for the Colosseum without the arena floor. When I asked they were very nice and immediately called someone to look into it. The tour company said Viator didn’t send the right information to them, so they didn’t buy us the right ticket. There was nothing they could do at that time, but they offered us some money back. I’ll confirm I received it when I return home.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Hi Jennifer_F,
Thanks for your feedback. We're glad the guide was great, but we apologize for the ticket discrepancy—that's completely understandable frustration.
For clarity: we changed the tour inclusions three months ago, but the partner site's listing didn't sync with our update. While the tour we delivered was our current offering, we recognize that you booked expecting the Arena Floor based on outdated info. That's on us to fix with our partners.
The partial refund we offered has been processed. Please do follow up with us if you don't receive it. We're taking this seriously to improve our partner communication.
Tilly_B, Jul 2026
Great tour !!! Enjoyed it very organized and informative. You can bring water and drinks in . Small group
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Hi Tilly_B! Thank you for the great review—and the exclamation marks! 😊 We're so pleased you enjoyed the tour and found it well-organised. Great tip about bringing water too! We really appreciate your feedback.
Mark_F, Jul 2026
Great tour guide - Very knowledgeable on the coliseum. Took us for an extra guided trip to Forum! Well worth it.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you, Mark_F! 🌙 There's nothing quite like the Colosseum under the stars, and we're so glad your guide made it even more memorable with that extra Forum stop. Sounds like you got the full ancient Rome experience—knowledge, history, and a little bit of magic! We really appreciate your review. Grazie mille!
Brenda_M, Jul 2026
Our tour guide, Sandro, was very knowledgeable, personable and very conscious of counting and keeping the group together. My only warning is there are many step steps to the second level. There is an elevator for those who need assistance. Highly recommended.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Hi Brenda_M,
Thank you for the great review and the helpful warning about the steps! We're so glad Sandro's knowledge and personable approach made your night tour memorable. It's wonderful to hear he kept the group together so well—that's always a priority, especially in the evening. We appreciate you highlighting the elevator option for future guests who may need it. Thanks for the high recommendation!
Scott_S, Jun 2026
We had a great time with Sandro. He was entertaining, knowledgeable, and showed us some things I think most other tours missed!
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you, Scott_S! We're so glad you had a great time with Sandro on the Colosseum by Night tour. He truly knows how to entertain and share hidden gems that others might miss. We appreciate your feedback!
Kelly_H, Jun 2026
Our guide was exceptional. His knowledge of the history of the coliseum made the tour unforgettable.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you, Kelly_H! We're so glad your night tour was unforgettable thanks to your exceptional guide. Knowledgeable guides truly bring the Colosseum's history to life. We appreciate your feedback!
John_D, Jun 2026
SCAM! We were sold a coliseum tour at night with Arena floor access. It was was supposed to also be two hours. Instead we started 45 min late, no arena floor access at all, and the tour lasted an hour. The tour operator confirmed in writing prior to the tour we would get arena floor access and we still didn’t get it. No refund offered. Viator doesn’t help either. Don’t waste your money.
I’ve booked tours on Viator before and had a great experience. This operator is a bait and switch operation so beware and stay away!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for your feedback, Mr. Denson. We take all reviews seriously and would like to clarify a few points for future readers.
1. Arena floor access – you are correct. Our ticketing team issued the wrong entry ticket for your group. We acknowledged this immediately, apologized, and refunded the €6 per person difference to you.
2. Tour duration – we investigated this with your guide. The tour was offered to continue to Piazza Venezia as per the advertised 2-hour itinerary. However, the group collectively decided to end the tour early inside the Colosseum due to tiredness. Your guide specifically noted that your family was happy with the experience and even gave him a tip.
3. Refund – despite the shortened tour being at the group's request, we offered and processed a 50% partial refund of your total tour price as a gesture of goodwill – far more than the €6 ticket error.
4. Start time – we have reviewed our records and confirmed that your tour started on time. We are unsure why this was mentioned in your review.
We regret that you felt this was a "bait and switch." We made an honest ticketing error, which we owned and compensated you for. The tour duration was shortened at the group's own request. We stand by our service and our commitment to customer satisfaction.
Sincerely,
Discover rome tour Team
Allison_A, Jun 2026
We took the Colosseum at Night Tour on June 13, 2026, and it was one of the highlights of our time in Rome. Our guide, Giovanni, was absolutely spectacular. His knowledge of Roman history was impressive, but what really stood out was his ability to bring the stories, people, and events of ancient Rome to life in a way that was both engaging and memorable.
Seeing the Colosseum illuminated at night added a completely different atmosphere and made the experience feel even more special. I walked away with a much deeper understanding of the history and significance of this incredible landmark.
I highly recommend this tour, and if you’re lucky enough to have Giovanni as your guide, you’re in for a fantastic experience. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you, Allison_A! What a beautiful review. We are so glad the Colosseum by Night tour was a highlight of your time in Rome. Giovanni truly is a master storyteller – bringing ancient Rome to life is his gift. And you are right, the Colosseum illuminated at night creates a magical atmosphere you just don't get during the day. We appreciate your high recommendation and hope to welcome you back to Rome someday!
Sincerely,
Customer Support Team
Heather_F, Jun 2026
The experience was amazing! Our guide had so much information and excitement around the topic it was non stop and unrehearsed. We asked questions - he went with it and updated his general itinerary. He only stopped talking to take a drink of water and yet we were all enraptured and didn’t even realize we were closing the place down. He was amazing and brought history to life.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you, Heather_F! What a wonderful review. We're so glad your guide brought history to life with such passion and knowledge that you didn't even notice closing the place down. That's the magic of a great guide. We appreciate you sharing this!
Ashlyn_S, Jun 2026
Our guide was amazing!! He was so knowledgeable and interesting and we left with so much more knowledge of the colosseum than we started with. He managed to bring the colosseum to life in a way that you just don’t get walking around alone. He even gave us chance for a Q&A at the end! Plus our group only had 7 people so felt very intimate and just overall an absolutely highlight of our trip!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you, Ashlyn_S! We're so happy the night tour was a highlight of your trip. Bringing the Colosseum to life in a small, intimate group is exactly what we aim for – and ending with a Q&A makes it even better. We appreciate your wonderful feedback!
Connor_C, Jun 2026
Changed the description of event after booking to bot include underground. The underground is only open for part of the year and the tickets are first come, first serve. Just buy your ticket on site for 22€ p/p. These people are scammers. I had to issue a charge back because neither company or viator was interested in correcting the issue. SCAM. BUY ALL ROME TOUR TICKETS IN PERSON.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Dear Connor Cheevers & Elizabeth Stilwell,
You have called us scammers. We will now present the complete, documented timeline so future travelers can see the truth.
1. Your Original Booking
Booking date: February 24, 2026 at 4:39 AM
Tour: Colosseum Evening Tour (No Underground) – as clearly stated in the title
Tour date: Thursday, June 4, 2026
Time: 5:00 PM
At the time of booking, the product description explicitly said that the underground (hypogeum) is not included in the evening tour.
2. You Asked to Add Underground – We Said No and Offered Cancellation
After booking, you requested that we add underground access to your tour.
We replied clearly and in writing (in our first and second communications) that:
Underground access is not available for this evening tour.
If you were not satisfied with the tour as booked, you could request a cancellation at that time for a full refund (since it was far outside the 7‑day window).
You never replied. You did not cancel. You did not ask for a refund at that time. You simply ignored our offer to cancel.
3. Our Repeated Follow‑ups – All Ignored
March 13, 2026 (12:33 AM) – Confirmation email with details, repeating that underground is not included and offering assistance.
May 22, 2026 (9:34 PM) – Second follow‑up email, again reminding you of the tour time (5:00 PM) and offering support.
June 3, 2026 – WhatsApp message one day before the tour with final instructions.
You never replied to any of these messages. Not once did you say you wanted to cancel, nor did you express any concern about the time.
4. Your Refund Request – One Day Before the Tour
On June 3, 2026 – just one day before the scheduled tour – you suddenly asked for a full refund. Your reason? Your travel plans had changed. Not because of anything we did wrong – because your personal schedule changed.
Our refund policy, which you agreed to at booking, states clearly: no refunds for cancellations within 7 days of the tour. We politely declined your refund request.
5. Your False Claim to Viator
After we declined your refund, you went to Viator and lied, claiming that:
You had originally booked a 9:00 PM tour
We changed your time to 5:00 PM without your consent
We asked you to provide any proof of a 9:00 PM booking – a screenshot, an email, anything. You could not provide any proof because no such booking ever existed. Our records show only the 5:00 PM booking you made yourself.
Once your lie was exposed, you posted this negative review calling us scammers.
6. The Same Tour – 20 Other Happy Customers
On June 4, 2026 at 5:00 PM, the tour ran as scheduled with 20 other guests besides you. They all arrived on time, enjoyed the evening, and several have left 5‑star reviews on Viator and TripAdvisor for that exact date and time. You can read their reviews publicly.
If we were scammers, why did 20 other people have a great experience? The only difference: they showed up as booked, and you did not – then you lied to try to force a refund.
7. Your Chargeback
You mentioned issuing a chargeback. We welcome that process. We have already compiled all documentation for our bank and Viator:
Your booking confirmation showing 5:00 PM
Your request to add underground (we said no)
Our offer to cancel (you ignored it)
Our emails from March 13 and May 22
Our WhatsApp message from June 3
Your false 9:00 PM claim with no evidence
We are confident the bank will rule in our favor. We delivered exactly what you booked – a 5:00 PM Colosseum evening tour. You changed your travel plans and tried to get a refund through dishonesty.
8. The Truth
We are not scammers. We are a legitimate tour operator with thousands of satisfied customers. You had every opportunity to cancel when we told you underground was not included. You chose to stay silent. Then, one day before the tour, you asked for a refund because your plans changed – and when we followed our clear policy, you lied to Viator and left a false review.
Future travelers: book with confidence. We deliver what we promise, we communicate clearly, and we will always defend the truth.
Sincerely,
Customer Support Team
Leslie_P, Jun 2026
Our guide was so knowledgeable about the history of Rome and the colosseum. We could have listened to him for hours. We were so hungry along the tour that he brought us to a small pizza shop for pizza to go. What an extra bonus. We would definitely recommend him for any of the tours in Rome.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you, Leslie_P! We're so glad you enjoyed your Colosseum by Night tour. It sounds like you had a truly special guide – knowledgeable, engaging, and thoughtful enough to stop for pizza when hunger struck! That's going above and beyond. We'll be sure to share your kind words with him. We hope to welcome you back to Rome for more tours (and more pizza)!
Cheryl_H, May 2026
Very knowledgeable guides with a lot of interesting information to take in. There was seven family members in my group, 4 in their 80’s and they handled the stairs and walking in the heat very well. Great tour, should not be missed whilst in Rome.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you, Cheryl_H! We're so glad your family – including four members in their 80s – had a wonderful late afternoon tour of the Colosseum. It's great to hear that everyone handled the stairs and heat well and that the guides kept the information interesting and engaging. We truly appreciate you recommending this tour as a must-do in Rome. Hope to welcome you back!
Best regards,
The Discover Rome Tour Team

Wonderful historical account of what most likely was happening during the time.... guide gave facts, mixed with a little embellishments
Response from Host, May 2026
Thanks, Sheila! We're delighted you enjoyed the tour. A little flair with the facts makes history come alive—glad our guide hit the right balance. Hope to see you again in Rome!
Anna_B, May 2026
Some very steep stairs. Also, we booked the night tour and were looking forward to seeing the colosseum lit up.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you, Anna, for your feedback. We appreciate the note about the steep stairs—definitely something future guests should be aware of. Regarding the night tour, we understand your excitement to see the Colosseum lit up. Could you kindly share more details about your experience? We want to ensure the evening views meet expectations. Please feel free to reach out to us directly. We hope the rest of your visit was still memorable!
Virginia_A, May 2026
Very knowledgeable and engaging tour guide. A little difficult to catch everything she was saying, but she was great! Easy to find meeting point and helpful staff. Good communication from the time I booked the tickets to our tour.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you, Virginia_A. Glad you found the guide knowledgeable and the communication excellent. Noted on the clarity—we'll share your feedback. Appreciate your review!
Ashley_P, May 2026
Scott was very knowledgeable and engaging with the tour group. Definitely try to book the earlier tour if you want to see “down below where the gladiators were” because our tour was too late to see it
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you, Ashley_P, for your review and great tip! We're so glad to hear that Scott made your Colosseum by Night tour both knowledgeable and engaging. That's wonderful feedback. And thank you for sharing the advice about booking an earlier tour to see the underground area where the gladiators prepared—it's a helpful heads-up for future travelers. We’re sorry you missed that part this time, but we hope you’ll join us again for another tour to explore even more of Rome’s incredible history!
Nicole_F, May 2026
Scott was amazing, so knowledgeable a great tour guide!!
Would recommend to everyone they made it easy to find the meeting spot and the headsets worked great
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you, Nicole_F, for your fantastic review! We're so glad you enjoyed the Colosseum by Night Guided Tour. Scott will be thrilled to hear your kind words—he truly is a knowledgeable and passionate guide. It's also great to know that the meeting point was easy to find and that the headsets worked perfectly for you. Thank you for recommending the tour to others! We’d love to have you join us again on another Rome adventure soon.
Isabella_G, May 2026
The tour was advertised as “Colosseum by Night,” but when we actually visited, it took place during daylight hours. This was misleading and did not match what was promised when purchasing the tickets.
Response from Host, May 2026
Dear Isabella_G,
Thank you for your feedback. After thoroughly reviewing your booking record, we must respectfully clarify a few points.
What you booked:
Product: Colosseum Evening Tour (No UG) – €99
Time: 5:00 PM (you selected this time slot yourself)
Duration: 2 hours (ending at 7:15 PM – before sunset in May)
Included: Colosseum interior (no underground), Roman Forum, exterior views
What was clearly communicated to you:
At time of booking – The product page clearly distinguished between the €99 evening tour and the €169 true night tour (with underground, June only)
Immediately after booking – Your voucher detailed the exact itinerary, start time, and excluded underground access
One week before the tour – We emailed and WhatsApp you with further clarification
Given this, your review stating the tour was "advertised as Colosseum by Night" and "took place during daylight hours" does not accurately reflect what was presented and confirmed to you multiple times.
We take misleading advertising very seriously – which is why we do not engage in it. All information was provided clearly and repeatedly.
While we regret that the tour did not meet your hopes, the experience delivered was exactly what you purchased and confirmed.
Thank you for understanding.
Best regards,
The Discover Rome tours Team
Brad_M, Apr 2026
This is an amazing tour. Such history and great insight from a very knowledgeable guide. Great views from the arena floor and from above in the ‘stands’.
The travel company itself seems to lack some organization.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your review, Brad_M. We're pleased you enjoyed the guide and the unique perspectives of the night tour. However, we apologize that our organizational coordination did not meet expectations. Your feedback has been noted, and we will work to improve. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
Arjay_E, Nov 2025
The BEST WAY to experience the Colosseum. Our tour guide was fantastic! They were easy to find. The Colosseum Arena, Underground and access was incredible. It was honestly PERFECT. The day time crowds are so overwhelming, but we recommend doing both day and night because it’s a totally different experience, but the night tour was the best! We HIGHLY RECOMMEND and we will definitely do again. The negative reviews on here are wack - mostly people who don’t take responsibility for their own actions and mistakes, and trying to blame the tour company.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Dear Arjay_E,
Wow—thank you for this incredible and detailed review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that our Colosseum by Night Tour was the highlight of your Rome vacation. Your description of the experience as "PERFECT" is the highest compliment we could hope for.
We're delighted you found our meeting point easy to locate and that your guide made the tour fantastic. Access to the Arena and Underground areas truly offers a unique perspective, and we're so glad it resonated with you. We completely agree—experiencing the Colosseum both by day and by night provides two profoundly different and unforgettable encounters.
Your strong recommendation and intention to book with us again mean the world to our entire team. We also sincerely appreciate your supportive words regarding our commitment to quality experiences.
It was our pleasure to host you, and we cannot wait to welcome you back for another perfect evening under the Roman stars.
Warmest regards,
The Discover Rome Tours Team

The night experience is top notch! They space it out so you literally do not see anyone else during your tour. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and we had a great time! Plus, we asked him for a restaurant recommendation following the tour and it was soooo good!
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you! We’re so glad you loved the night experience—it truly offers such a special atmosphere. Wonderful to hear your guide and restaurant tip made the evening even better!
MURUGAN_G, Oct 2025
An amazing way to explore the Colosseum! The night setting made it feel peaceful and almost mysterious, far from the daytime chaos. Our guide kept things engaging and informative. Though I paid 5 times more on Viator than the official Colosseum ticketing site, the organisers were transparent about the pricing and services included in their email. Really glad I did this, it’s a whole new way to experience Rome’s history!
Response from Host, Oct 2025
So happy you loved the night experience—it truly is a special way to see the Colosseum! Thanks for recognizing our team’s transparency and care.

Short notice booking, all worked out perfectly
Scott was our guide, he knows a lot about the history and details around the colosseum. Even with some minor technical issues, he managed to give a great tour of the place.
