Colosseum Tours & Tickets

The colosseum is something amazing to see. So rich in history and a definite must if you’re in Rome. Overall, our guide was good and very knowledgeable as he used to be an archeologist working on the site, however , he did speak a bit too fast and our ear pieces kept getting interference with other guides. Aside from that, an awesome activity for sure.

I really loved this tour. Our guid Fredrico was knowledgable and entertaining, he made such a long trip fun and interesting, answered all the questions and took care of everyone, Allowed time for us to take pictures and enjoy the space. Very Recommended. I would suggesting adding an option of going underground the Colosseum too.

Well well it is highly recommended to hire a guide as this is one of the magnificent and as we know, it is one of the wonders of the world and thus if you want to the deepest history and hidden facts about the colosseum then you should get this tour. We were fascinated by the structure, history and really enjoyed the tour.

Excellent educational tour. Tour guide appeared very passionate and knowledgeable. Colosseum was awesome. Due to unforeseen circumstances we were unable to do the underground tour but staff were very apologetic and gave good explanation. Palantine Hill also a must do - amazing views.

We did the dome climb tour with Massimo as our guide, if you get Massimo too, you'll be sure to have an amazing tour! He was warm welcoming and very entertaining! And we learnt lots along the way too! There was a fair bit of queuing to get into St Peter's Badillica, but the views from the top of the dome (and inside the church) were definitely worth the wait. The Sistine Chapel is a must see too! Thank you Massimo for a fun and fascinating visit!

Amazing, Damian is the best tour guide we have ever had, so very knowledge, his amazing story telling of the history of the Colosseum, was fabulous, every so often with humour which made the tour perfect, engaging with the group, just perfect, from the TALL man and short Italian woman with family in Calabria, very well done, big thank you… Ciao

Unfortunately the week before our visit we received an email saying the Colosseum had oversold tickets to the underground area and so this was being cancelled. We were moved to another group and got a partial refund however we specifically booked this tour for the underground portion. That being said our guide was excellent and using headphones made it so much easier to get round the busy site. You can actually see much of the underground level from the arena floor and the guide did spend time talking about it.

Eni was great today! Such a sweet and informative tour guide. He had so much history to share with us, it was fascinating. I especially loved going up to the Roman Forum and getting beautiful views of the Colloseum from the hill. It‘s a lot of walking and 3 hours so make sure you bring water and good shoes! It wasn’t too much though. Only complaint is that I would of liked more free time at the Colloseum to explore and take photos. Other then that, all round great tour guide and experience. Thank you!

Sonya was a great tour guide. We were surprised by the amount of knowledge she shared about the colosseum, forum and Palentine hill. The tour started at the lower subway station and ended on top of the palentine hill. The colosseum is a busy place and with the small group we were able to circle around and see photos and other documents that showed the area in its height.

Ales was informative and knowledgeable and clearly very passionate about Roman history, and the restoration and preservation of the areas that we visited. It’s a lot of history to cover in 3 hours but he gave us a great overview and also gave everyone in the group plenty of time to stop and take photographs.

Patrick was a superior guide who was able to keep our large group all together, even when 2 guests had mobility issues. He was funny, informative, patient, and it was the best tour I’ve ever had. I was skeptical about the headsets at first, but they turned out to be wildly useful.

Great experience! Radu was a great guide and very knowledgeable! Only sad part was we paid to tour the bottom part of the Colloseum and it was canceled w/o explanation. There were other groups down below, our family was bummed that we couldn't see that part but others were down there.

Our guide Magna very, knowledgeable, helpful & Spoke clear English. We had great access and support from guide Nick. To everyone booking trip take ID, including kids. Fantastic History & legendary sights With Memory making photo opportunities. Highly recommend. Thank you Maria

This was a very in-depth tour that was informative and gave great photo opportunities around the Colosseum and atop Palatine Hill overlooking the Roman Forum. Tour guide was enjoyable, patient yet moved the group along in a timely fashion and was able to answer all questions.

The tour and guide were great and entertaining. The guide had a good knowledge of the three areas and helped us to avoid the crowds. The tour included the Colosseum, Palatine Hill and ended in the Forum, quite a bit of walking but it was interesting and well presented. The guide stopped us regularly to suggest photograph locations and for water stops... which was helpful.

Eni was literally a fountain of information about the history of the Colosseum and its environs. He is a an exemplary tour guide who has been continurally learning for the past 10 years. I can't imagine having a better guide. I am certain he told us things that nobody else would notice or know. We had enough time to stop and take photos; he was sensitive to the needs of everyone and answered all our questions.

We had a wonderful tour around the Coliseum, Palatine Hill & Roman Forum on Friday 30/9/22 with Dennis. Dennis was so knowledgeable, enthusiastic & passionate about the history of the Romans. It truly was one of the best tours myself & husband have had. We would both definitely recommend! 5 stars

We had a great tour! Our guide Ginie, was so knowledgeable and shared fabulous stories which made the tour come alive. We were a large group but Ginie managed the size expertly and ensured we all felt included. Of course it was busy and hot at the Coliseum but we stopped often and left feeling well informed. A definite !

Took us around colosseum explained everything. The lower part was not accessible. Enough times for photos. Next stop was palatine hill and roman forum but once it ended we had only access to palantine hill and roman forum. If we wanted to go explore more of colossesum that was not possible as guided tour ends.

Augustino was a fantastic tour guide! He was knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor, keeping us all entertained and at ease. The tour process was smooth and the headsets worked great. Loved the ease of getting around these 3 areas with guidance and minimal waiting. Would highly recommend this tour and guide!!
