About this tour

Make the most of a short stay in Rome with a focused introduction to the Colosseum and the ancient sites around it. On this 75-minute Rome Colosseum Guided Tour, an official guide leads you through the landmark, sharing its history as you take in the scale of the arena and its stone tiers.

This Rome Colosseum Guided Tour offers a relaxed way to experience the essentials of ancient Rome without committing to a longer guided itinerary. Arrive early at the Colosseo metro station meeting point, bring matching identification, and set out to discover the city’s most celebrated ancient sights.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.64 from 207 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 5.9.
