Overview

When illuminated, Rome’s ancient attractions take on an entirely different persona. Explore the Roman Forum and the Colosseum (from the outside only) at their most magical—and when crowds are at a minimum—on a 2-hour, evening walking tour that provides a comprehensive introduction for first-time visitors. Exploring on foot means you’ll get a more intimate glimpse into the city while your guide reveals historical and cultural information that you may otherwise have missed.

Colosseum closes at 5 pm.

Constantina L, May 2019

Does NOT go into the colosseum. The description is misleading. The guide was excellent. However the forum is poorly lit and everyone was expecting to go into the Colosseum. Best to do in the daytime when you can actually see things

Response from Host, May 2019

We apologize if you didn't enjoy the tour, as you expected a visit inside the Colosseum. Other tours will offer different things, but ours is a relaxing, pleasing evening walk from the outside only, to enjoy the night atmosphere of the area away from heat and crowds, with a guide that will tell you all about the history of what you are seeing. It is clearly stated in the description of the tour on the website that the visit inside the Colosseum is not included, under the "what to expect" section, as well as on your online and printed ticket voucher. No deception or misleading whatsoever was meant from us, so we apologize again if you were disappointed.

ausführliche Erklärungen

Sehr ausführliche historische Erklärungen und Erläuterungen. Eintritt Kolosseum 'nicht inbegriffen' habe ich gedacht, wir werden es dort kaufen. Dies war nicht der Fall, also Kolosseum 'nur' von aussen.
