    The tour was very good and the guide Paulinho was incredible, he is an architect and showed a lot of knowledge about the Colosseum and the Roman forum, I highly recommend it and I can say that taking this guided tour makes all the difference.

Tour Highlights

We'll meet at the scheduled time, at the indicated meeting point, where we'll gather and set off to discover the legendary Colosseum in a complete and exclusive tour: the perfect way to re-live the excitement that once took place in one of the most admired landmarks in the whole world.

On the arena floor, you can see the Colosseum as those who entered two thousand years ago, not only gladiators but those who were condemned to fight wild animals to the death. A professional guide will provide explanations that'll immerse you in the rich past of the most famous sporting venue in history.

Take your photos, and feel like the ancient warriors (or poor unfortunates) themselves, as you can almost feel the thunder of the roaring Roman crowds, now long gone...

Following your exclusive tour of the Colosseum, the guide will take you to the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, explaining the relevance of these famous archaeological sites on a guided tour. And your guide will bring it all to life with overlays and 3D pictures that show you how it was all those years ago!

Schedules

Due to the exclusivity of the tour and the limitations in the ticket management process recently incorporated at the Colosseum, we would like to inform you that the start time of your tour may vary by a maximum of 3 hours. For availability and operational reasons, the schedule and start time may change. The timetable of your booking is therefore merely indicative. The local tour operator will get in touch with you before the tour to confirm the exact start time.

Please Note

During the booking process, please make sure to include the official name of each participant and ensure that the names match exactly as they appear on their ID/passport, as access will be denied for misspelt names or incorrect characters. Additionally, keep in mind that on the first Sunday of each month, the tour is unavailable, as well as important dates such as December 25th and January 1st.

If a group makes separate reservations, there's a chance they won't all be in the same tour group. If you want to be together, please let the tour operator know and they will try their best to put you in the same group, depending on availability.

Changes to the Itinerary

Please keep in mind that the order of the itinerary of this tour may change depending on any number of possible issues with the Colosseum tickets.
