About this tour

Step into ancient Rome on a guided visit to the Colosseum, Palatine Hill and Roman Forum. On this 150-minute small-group tour, explore the Colosseum arena floor with a licensed guide and imagine the crowds, gladiators and spectacle that once filled the amphitheater. The Colosseum offers a striking window into Roman engineering and imperial life.

Continue to Palatine Hill, traditionally considered the birthplace of Rome and later home to powerful, wealthy families. Then walk through the Roman Forum, where temples and public spaces reveal the rhythms of everyday life and the city’s political and social history. Entrance tickets are included, and the tour is conducted in English.

This Rome Colosseum, Forum and Palatine Hill tour brings three defining ancient sites together in one experience. Meet at the short side of the Arch of Constantine facing the Colosseum, where your guide will be waiting with a blue octopus sign. Wear comfortable shoes for uneven surfaces, and come ready to follow the stories written into the ruins.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 8 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Rome
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.5. Top 22% in Rome means it ranks in the top 22% of tours in Rome by this score.
