About this tour

Step inside the Colosseum and imagine the roar of 80,000 spectators filling the ancient arena. On this 60-minute Rome Colosseum guided tour, an expert English-speaking guide leads a semi-private group of no more than six past the crowds and into one of the city’s most iconic landmarks.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.92 from 309 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 8.5. Top 7% in Rome means it ranks in the top 7% of tours in Rome by this score.
