Head directly inside with your guide and explore the ground floor and first tier of seating for about an hour, following the live commentary with headphones so you don't miss a word. Afterwards, use your included pass to enter the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill ruins independently.

Rome Colosseum Tour 2025

Andrea_G, Oct 2025

A lot of walking on cobblestone surfaces. The tour felt a bit rushed and repetitive. I don’t think we got to see the full scope of the tour as it was described on the website.

Great Tour!

Great tour!! Our tour guide Marco was incredible. He walked us through the Colosseum, explained the history & significance. He was very knowledgeable. The venue itself is breathtaking. We then had tickets to explore the Roman Forum and Palantine Hill, but even with tickets in advance, the line was over an hour long. We decided to walk around the area instead but it was still amazing.

Misrepresentation

Biral_P, Jul 2024

Tour guide was not clear about retrieving tickets for the Forum and the remaining part of the tour........................

No tour given

Shirley_A, Jul 2024

We arrived at the meeting point 20 minutes early but could not find the tour operator. I rang the number given and man answered and then appeared. He said he didn’t have the right instructions from Viator and could not do the tour. He showed us where to buy tickets for the colosseum ourselves. He promised a refund with 48 hours which has now elapsed and no refund. Still trying to find a way to contact Viator

Loved it!

This was a wonderful tour of the colosseum!! So informative and engaging. Silvia was an AMAZING guide, so clear and insightful throughout. Would highly recommend

Worth the visit

Martha_G, Apr 2024

The Colosseum was beautiful The guide was difficult to understand. Spoke too rapidly when taking the heavy accent into consideration.

Great tour!

We had a great time despite the rain! Our guide was so knowledgeable and told great stories that engaged our 9 and 12 year old. Would pay the money to skip the line, but the experience was so much better than expected.
