Colosseum Arena Tickets & Tours

Our historian and guide, Mircea, was exceptional. Knowledgeable, personable, and so accommodating. Both the tour and our guide exceeded our expectations!

This was a wonderful tour! It was very hot and our guide made sure to take good care of us. We learned so much and got to see everything we hoped to.

The monument was impressive and Said was all the "money" giving us so many detailed information that will never forget ! Strongly recommended

Seeing the Colosseum for the first time was a wow moment. But getting inside was just amazing and with the full experience of being taken around by our knowledgeable tour guide from Inside Out Italy made it quite special. The highlight was of course seeing the whole of the Colosseum from the arena floor but we also got taken up and round different floors and seeing it from different angles. Then after the Colosseum you're taken across to the Roman Hill and Paletine. So all in all it was what I would call a thorough tour the only bit we didn't see up close was the underground part of the Colosseum but you get to see the central underground section from the arena floor anyway. Well worth doing.

Visiting the Colosseum, or "Coliseu" as it's known in Portuguese, is an absolutely breathtaking experience that transports you back to the heart of ancient Rome. Standing within those colossal ruins, you can almost hear the roar of the crowds and imagine the gladiatorial contests that once took place on the arena floor. The sheer scale of Roman engineering is awe-inspiring, and exploring the intricate levels, from the underground hypogeum where animals and gladiators awaited their fate, to the upper tiers offering panoramic views of the entire amphitheater, truly brings history to life. The company that organized this tour did an exceptional job, handling every detail to ensure a smooth and enriching visit and helping to find the correct place. A special mention must go to our tour guide, Simona, whose passion and knowledge truly brought the Colosseum to life. She expertly navigated us through its storied past, pointing out fascinating details and sharing captivating histories that made the ancient stones speak volumes. It's a powerful reminder of the grandeur and complexity of a civilization that shaped so much of the world.

Our guide, Diego, was great! He was knowledgeable, friendly, intelligent, funny and loves telling the history of his birthplace. This tour has a lot to cover in 3 hours so if you're not a fast walker/stair climber there might be better choices for you. The only downside was that we got instructions to meet in 1 location only to get there on time and be told we needed to go to a different address- for folks without internet this could be difficult. It wasn't far but was across streets, through construction, and down an alley- could have told us to meet there from the beginning.

The highlight of my visit was our guide Bruno was the best, he is an archaeologist and explained very clearly. Fantastic

I don't think I could have done this tour on my own. So much to see & learn in this tour, deeply enriched in history. Our guide explained so much in the time we were with her, & her ability to be patient & direct us around the huge crowds & other tour groups was well done. Thank you for an amazing tour & the opportunity to walk away with so much knowledge & many photos

We came to Rome for the first time at the end of April and this visit to the Colosseum and the Roman Forum was a must. The tour was incredible from start to finish. It was a first for us to hire a guide, and we have no regrets! Simone is a very interesting guide, with a great sense of humor. We loved it and highly recommend this tour and this guide. Many thanks to her!

The tour was very interesting and well organized. A 2.5-hour guided tour of the Forum, Mount Palatine and the Colosseum - a great, informative experience!

VERY INTERESTING VISIT TO THE COLOSSEUM. THE GUIDE, ELEONORA, WAS WONDERFUL. SHE EXPLAINED IT AS IF SHE WAS LIVING IT. SHE KNEW WHAT SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT.

The experience and the detailed explanation of our guide made the visit even better. She was able to explain every corner and make us travel back in time.

Had an absolutely amazing day. Made so by the knowledge and enthusiasm of our guide. It was fantastic to see it but more fantastic to know it.

The tour was Awesome! We had Eliane, a Brazilian historian, she was Pationate and very knowledgeable about history and the details. I was impressed with her knowledge and enthusiasm. You can tell when someone loves what they do and she definitely is a person that loves what she does. Take a hat with you, it was very sunny and we walk a lot during this tour.

Our guide Flavia was so knowledgeable, and never short of interesting facts and little things to show us throughout the whole tour. We got so much more out of our visit thanks to her, would thoroughly recommend.

Our enthusiastic guide Laura Antonucci really helped "flesh out" what we were seeing at the Forum, Palatinr Hill & Colosseum, with helpful colour illustrations & many details to bring it all to life! We appreciated the clear fantastic English & the response to questions in our all adult group. They found shade when possible which was appreciated, built in a well timed 🚾 stop, as well advising us of the lift for seniors who needed it. Cannot recommend enough!

The tour guide (Diego) was excellent, had a lot of knowledge and was very pleasant. The places visited were very interesting and came with a lot of detailing. Definetly recommend!

Except that you guys misidentify the location, where you meet the guide and no one comes to the meeting point to pick you up it was a great experience with a great guide. Lots of background information.

Great informative and knowledgeable tour guide, great sense of humour, crowds were as expected but the tour guide knew how to work around them

Our tour guide Paulo was amazing. His knowledge about everything Roman, Rome and Italy was simply astounding. He made the tour enjoyable as well as informative. We came away knowing more than we ever thought we would! I would thoroughly recommend!

Superb tour, interesting and fun. Great guide! Beautiful landscapes, lots of memories! The only downside was that the meeting place was very poorly signposted, so it was a difficult moment.

The best part of our tour of the Colosseum, the Forum, and Palatine Hill was definitely our tour guide. She was knowledgeable and had a great way of delivering her message, even a little joke now and then. The sites are awesome inspiring given their age, construction, and purposes.

Grandiose !!! Magnifique rien à ajouter il faut le faire !!!

Everything was well orginised. The tour guide was great and had non stop information and history all through the tour.

Claudia our guide was very knowledgeable and a fabulous guide

No need to wait in line. Of course, do not go in summer, the heat is unbearable and you do not enjoy the visit. And if you can take a guide to tell you the story better because otherwise you only see stones.

Goosebumps when You realize the piece of history related with Colosseum. I wonder if this walls could talk what we can hear... Unfortunately traffic is so horrible that You loose the appetite for detailed sightseeing. Anyway this is "backet list" If You're going to visit Rome.

The visit to the Imperial Forums was very interesting, no less so than the visit to the Colosseum ( I had already done this one cmq). The scheduled entrance turned out very well. The waiting times were short(this was also because I had booked the entrance at 9.45 am). Overall I can consider the whole thing good

Long and interesting tour, Colosseum, Palatine and fori are a place where time stands still and despite the many tourists you can stop in the shade to imagine the 'empire and rest.

The experience was very good as far as the purchase of the tickets and audio went. The Colosseum is definitely worth a visit, but the huge crowds made the viewing experience very slow and at times unpleasant. The lines for the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill were so long that we decided to not complete the tour.

Our experience was very good. We had purchased Skip the Line tickets. We didn’t have any trouble with waiting times at all. It’s definitely worth getting Skip the Line tickets.

The architecture and engineering of the Colosseum is amazing! Getting up close and seeing that this was completed centuries ago just blows your mind.

The tour inside and outside the colosseum is unique. It is worth every meter of the walk. Super happy with the experience.

Everything organized. We didn't wait in line. Wonderful views. Those who love history must have this experience. I will be back

You cannot go to Rome and ignore the Colosseum. It stands big and proud and the history in there just demands to be explored. Yes it can be very busy but there's no pressure to rush round it and there are helpful lifts for people who need assistance.

Very nice site with beautiful views. No queues to make with appointments booked, but the Audi iPhone option didn't work - shame. We were told it was under maintenance. Too bad there weren't more signs to indicate directions and give some indication of what we were seeing. Otherwise a very nice experience.

Amazing technological achievement on an awesome scale. The Colliseum stands out as the must see site of Rome. You need time to view the information cases and experience to arena too.

Palatine Hill was really impressive, but you should plan much more time than indicated, especially if you have an audio guide

Everything worked really well, the audio guide was also very informative and the children enjoyed it too. Unfortunately, everything was completely overcrowded, but you have to live with that

Strolling through the land of Marcus Aurelius and the great artists of the millennial and eternal city is indeskriptible ouuu yeahhh!!!🤘🏿🕺🏻💚⚔️🔥🏟

Simply spectacular, we got a bigger discount than if we took it out at the box office, very good.

the size and complex architecture for those times

I am impressed by the organization and the Colosseum itself. A beautiful building. An architectural work of art.

Because it's one of the wonders of the world

Very good experience, we did not have to wait long in line and the audio guide was very helpful, we will definitely repeat.

Quick access and well located. Everything is incredible

Everything was well organized. We didn't wait long to get in

The arches are cool!

The most ungorgettable moment was when I entered the inner part of the Colosseum

It was awesome!!!!! I love it 100% recommended

This tour was amazing, despite the crowds we got straight in. It was well organised with good communication about the meeting point and itinerary. Our tour guide Marketa was fantastic, friendly and knowledgeable. This was a great way to kickstart our visit to Rome and would highly recommend it.

Honestly, bypassing the chaos. We saved so much time and our tour guide was wonderful. Highly recommend. Bonus: The tickets include entrance to the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill. So we enjoyed that after taking a break for lunch.

Our guide had an extraordinary amount of detailed knowledge about the Colosseum and the Roman Forum and was able to tell us a lot about life at that time. This and also the top organization of the event made everything a great experience. Robert from Munich

Our Guide was knowledgeable about Colosseum. She made it fun. Because of her, we got hassle free entry to all the sites and location, we skipped all lines and were the first one to enter into the Colosseum. I would recommend tourists to book all 3 site tours individually because the guide doesn't show you everything in Romun Forum in a combined tour. Do this tour if you don't have enough time or if you are with family/kids.

An incredible place because you can see up close the engineering with which this important building of the Roman era was built, this unique experience because being in the basement of the Colosseum with a great guide explains and teaches you where the ramps, elevators, drains and your mind "flies" imagining being in that time. It is very worthwhile

Everything. The underground was very exciting to experience. The guide was fantastic, Sandra explained the history vividly and in detail. It was an experience and adventure worth recommending. We would book again in a heartbeat.

Our tour was fabulous in every way AMANDA our tour guide was absolutely brilliant Very informative, concise and funny very knowledgeable and with masses of information She really made it very special

Our host was brilliant .. really enjoyed our ruling and her knowledge was great .. we all learnt a lot from the tour

Marketa was a fantastic guide and teacher. The underground/arena floor was our favorite part of the colosseum itself, but we were not ready for the beauty of Palatine Hill and its views. We had a fantastic group and Marketa made it a very special day.

The guide makes the tour si interesting with her energy and her clear and complète explanations. Really good time, thanks to her.

We experienced the Colosseum and Forum Romanum in the best possible way. We skipped all the lines, and our guide Elisa was fantastic at sharing interesting stories along the way. A great experience – highly recommended!

Very crowded but added to the excitement and the unbelievable feeling when you walked into the Colleseium itself. It gave myself and husband goosebumps. Tour guide was brilliant 👏

Alessandro was a perfect guide. We were a small group of 6 people, which was ideal given the crowds in the Colosseum. Alessandro made the tour very lively, answered each of our questions in detail and even had extra footage on his tablet. He always had the well-being of all participants in mind and guided our group to shady spots for his explanations, organized the floor changes by elevator for my mother and another participant and showed us the best spots for souvenir photos. Many thanks for a great morning, Alessandro!

It was an awesome tour with a fantastic guide! Emanuele is a Roman native with excellent knowledge of ancient history. We enjoyed every minute! Thank you again for that great experience! Manuela and Roland

Informative guide and access to the underground was great

Great tour guide informative ans detail oriented

Very crowded but our tour guide was knowledgeable and navigated us quickly around the crowds.
