Exploring the Colosseum without a guide often means crowded lines and missing out on privileged access and the stories that bring it to life. With us, you'll skip the lines and follow our friendly guide who knows these sites inside out, showing you where gladiators fought, where emperors once ruled, and the most impressive ruins. This tour is crafted to let you experience Rome’s ancient wonders without a single moment wasted. Join us and experience the Colosseum like never before.

After meeting your expert Roman guide at the Colosseo metro stop, you'll skip the line to explore this ancient arena, including the first and second tiers where Rome's rich and famous would watch the bloody battles below. After your guided Colosseum tour your guide will help you avoid the lines at the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, where they'll bring the ruins to life with stories of the powerful people that once controlled the Roman Empire from these sites.

We very much enjoyed the tour. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. She had a notebook of pictures illustrating the original structures as she was showing them to us which was very helpful. I have a cochlear implant and could not wear the ear phones so I had to walk with her and she had to speak directly to me. That was hard for her since it was crowded and noisy but she did an excellent job which was much appreciated.

Tour guide was very knowledgeable. Only concern was the speed. Almost running down the stairs from the Palpatine to the Colosseum. Very difficult for some to keep up. Felt rushed at the end.

I was disappointed in the tour as we saw little of the Colosseum other than an exterior hallway and only a few minutes to look at the floor area. Our guide had a thick accent and spoke so quickly that it was very difficult to hear what was being said. My husband completely gave up trying to listen and missed out on all the information. It was the same for the Palatine area. If I schedule another tour it will have to be a completely different format so that we can better see, and hear about, what we are seeing.

With hordes of tourists in Rome, we decided to splerge and pay to skip the line and get a tour, and it was worth it. Marcella brought the history to life and paced the tour marvelously. The smaller group made it managable. If you're going to pay for a tour, this is it.

Great tour!

This was a fantastic tour! It was on the shorter side (3 hours), which is just about perfect for both locations to hit the main points and sights. Our tour guide David did a great job describing everything and answering questions.

Simona was very knowledgeable. Plus she added a lot of details to provide a glimpse of ancient Roman culture and lifestyle. She was patience and allowed us plenty of time to explore, take pictures and ask questions. Would book again. Thanks.

Paulo was extraordinary!

We loved the tour, well worth doing. Our guide Caterina was amazing, very informative and friendly. She was kind enough to take it slow at the beginning of our tour so my husband could catch up with his ID! Would definitely recomend doing this tour with Caterina.
