    Know before you go

    •  This tour operates in all weather conditions.
    • The arena floor is a restricted area, so guests must provide their full name, date of birth, and a valid current ID upon entry, including those aged between 3 and 17 years old.
    • Please be advised that the exact reservation times may vary slightly due to decisions made by the Colosseum administration office on or before the scheduled tour date.

    • Entrance to the Palatine Hill and Roman Forum will be with the tour guide only; guests cannot leave the group and enter these areas alone as they will not have an individual ticket. For group reservations, the Colosseum does not provide individual tickets but one group ticket which the guide will use for all three areas.

    A must visit in Rome! I really recommend going through the arena. And with commentary and anecdotes from our guide, Catherine, this journey into the past becomes truly rewarding and your eyes, in the present, will always be amazed. A tip: If it's hot, take a bottle that you can fill in the many fountains present on the sites. Good walk !

    Easy to find the meeting point. If we do not consider the guest people are being late, the tour makers were very organized and grouped us very fast to put us on to go. We had Barbara as our guilde, she is informative and know the places she is taking to us. She also had extra materials to show us how the ruins should have looked when they were in place. On the other hand, we weren't really taken to all of the Roman Forum places, just walked through it. As a tourist, I would like to take some pictures and we weren't really allowed to spend some time to take pictures and really feel the moment, but kept walking all the time. It would be really great if they take some time to give guests for checking what is good and for pictures.

    Good organised tour. The guide was well versed in English and all the ticketing and entrances were sorted beforehand. There was a lot of walking though (expected) so carry lots of fluids and quick munchies along. Its fascinating to know the history of the Colosseum and its surroundings. Its a fast track tour so be ready to walk fast :)
