About this tour

Step into the story of ancient Rome on a guided Colosseum tour, where stone arches and the vast arena evoke the spectacle of the empire. An expert guide shares how the monument was built and recounts the gladiator contests, encounters with wild animals, and executions that once took place here.

Your visit includes Colosseum admission and a reservation fee. On the regular option, you can view the arena without entering it. Depending on the option selected, the experience may also include a guided tour of the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill; these sites are not included with the Colosseum 1-hour option. Meet your coordinator, identifiable by a purple uniform, 30 minutes before the scheduled start. Bring identification that matches the names submitted at booking, and allow for possible entry delays caused by site capacity limits.

How this score is calculated

This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.

How the score works
  • 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. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
