Grace_Z, Feb 2026

This was a fabulous tour of the underground/ arena and we would do this tour again! Be flexible and allow enough time to meet your representative and gather your tickets before your official tour time. It can be frustrating to go through a third party for tickets, but it was fairly smooth and the tour (by an official Colosseum employee!!) was amazing. The tour of the Forum (from this company) did a great job and paced the Forum tour well.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re truly happy to hear that you enjoyed the Underground and Arena tour and that our team helped make the experience smooth and memorable. It means a lot to know you appreciated both the Colosseum guided visit and the Forum tour pacing. We hope to welcome you back to Rome for another amazing experience soon! 😊
