Customized, Personal, and Absolutely Incredible

Our private Colosseum tour with The Tour Guy was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we stepped onto the Arena Floor, we felt an incredible sense of access and privilege—like we were seeing the Colosseum from a perspective very few ever get to experience. Even after an initial mix-up with another group, the team handled everything swiftly, professionally, and with such confidence that it only heightened our sense of being well taken care of. From then on, the tour truly felt like a VIP experience. Our guide tailored the entire day to us: sharing comprehensive insights at the Colosseum, then customizing our time through the Forum and Palatine Hill so we saw the most meaningful highlights without ever feeling rushed. They even thought ahead to our next stop, adjusting our exit to the most convenient location. It was fully customized, deeply personal, and wonderfully executed—a true highlight of our time in Rome.

Colosseum with arena floor

Our tour was perfect, and we never would have been able to see and understand the history without our guide Serena! She was amazing, knowledgeable, and helpful throughout the entire tour. Thank you!

Great choice for private tour!

We had a personal private tour and would highly recommend for a more detailed intimate experience. Jonathan took his time and answered all our questions. He was very thorough and knowledgeable and explained everything in depth along with visual examples.

Amazing Experience!

We had the best tour guide!! Bogdan was incredibly insightful and witty! His knowledge was on par with any archeological expert. We learned so much, and were grateful to skip the very long lines. Worth the extra cost for a once in a lifetime experience.

Private Colosseum tour

The best part? Walking onto the arena floor where actual gladiators once fought. Valentina told us all the gruesome and fascinating details, making history come to life. If you’re visiting the Colosseum, this is the way to do it!

Perfect end to our Rome trip

Standing on the Colosseum’s arena floor and imagining the roar of the crowds was incredible. Our guide shared vivid stories about gladiator battles, making the history feel real. This is the best way to see the Colosseum—don’t just settle for the standard ticket!

Surreal Experience

This was a fantastic tour for my family! Standing on the floor where gladiators once fought was surreal. 10/10 would recommend this!

Worth every penny!

Wow this tour was way cooler than I was even imagining! Our guide knew a ton of information about the gladiators and even showed us a stone that had an imprint from so much traffic in the Roman Forum! We were so captivated by her storytelling and wish that we could have stayed with her for longer. Well worth every penny!

Private Colosseum with Pia

It felt really special being able to have a private guide on the Arena Floor of the Colosseum. Pia gave us great attention and answered all of our questions. Highly recommend to anyone who wants an extra special experience in the Colosseum.

Phenomenal!

Walking onto the arena floor was an unforgettable experience and felt like stepping back in time to ancient Rome. Our private guide was incredibly knowledgeable and painted such vivid pictures of what life was like for gladiators and spectators. The private nature of the tour meant we could ask plenty of questions, and we didn’t feel rushed at all. We also got access to areas most tourists don’t get to see, which made it feel extra special. If you want to truly appreciate the Colosseum, this is the way to do it!
