It’s a beautiful building...

Jeremiah_C, Aug 2025

It’s a beautiful building with a lot of history. The app was very helpful for the points of information to understand a history and the process of the Colosseum. The downside is knowing when to go. Going in the summer at peak season you encounter massive crowds and hot and humid temperatures.

Ripped off no jump the queue

Jacinta_D, Jul 2025

You can pay as little as 24 euro each for this experience else where. There is no such thing as jump the queue. The guided tour is an app they ask you to download. Totally ripped off. The Colosseum is absolutely worth seeing just don’t use this experience.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Our Colosseum with Arena Floor and Ancient Rome with Audio App experience is clearly described as an audio-guided tour, as evident from the title itself. Only ticket cost €24. Regarding the queue, guests only need to pass through security checks, which are mandatory for all visitors.

Fun but not worth the extra price when you can get a basic ticket online or at the colosseum

Robert_H, Mar 2025

The description of what is included is misleading as there isn’t a skip the line option at all as you’ve still got to wait in the long line and you can’t go on the ground floor area either as that’s a separate ticket as you can only go into the main arena stars and upper area

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear there was any confusion regarding the access included in your tour. Please allow us to clarify: the ticket you booked include access to the Arena Floor, which is part of the Full Experience entry. From your message, it sounds like there may have been a misunderstanding between the Arena Floor and the Underground section, which is a different ticket category entirely and not included in this particular experience unless specified otherwise. Regarding the queue—what you’re referring to is the mandatory security screening at the Colosseum, which, for safety reasons, cannot be bypassed by any visitor regardless of ticket type. However, as priority ticket holders, our guests do in fact enter through a separate, faster-access line, allowing you to bypass the general queue at the entrance after clearing security. If you still feel that you did not receive Arena Floor access, we would be more than happy to resend the ticket confirmation showing the included access for your peace of mind. We appreciate your understanding and are always here to assist further if needed. Warm regards, Maxwell Karpzen Arena Tours

Good and easy, but if I had to do it again, I would choose a tour guide (with an in-person guide).

Julie_C, Jul 2026

We easily received the tickets via WhatsApp, and there was no problem downloading the audio guide. Quick response from the agency when we requested an additional code for the download. However, the audio guide is not great: 4-5 audios per floor, but they are not linked to a specific point, rather general information, interesting but it would have been better to have detailed content related to what we see. No audio guide for the Forum or Palatine, and it is difficult to understand what is what. We chose the Arena, which offers a good viewpoint and less crowd, but it is not essential. If I had to do it again, I would take an in-person guide. But no issues with the experience.

We visited the Coliseum with...

Paula_G, May 2026

We visited the Coliseum, with Arena, the Roman Forum and the Palatino. It was an amazing experience, however, we found that the indications in the spaces were not clear, which made us walk a little around. Our group was 7 elements, we bought the tickets with audio guide, but only 3 of us managed to access the application and did not answer us to help us solve the problem. Given the price of the ticket, which performed this function, we were disappointed in this situation.
