About this tour

Step into nearly 2,000 years of history on a Rome Colosseum guided tour, where a live guide brings the ancient amphitheater’s architecture and gladiatorial games to life. Follow the stories of ancient Rome as you explore the Colosseum, with commentary to help you picture the events that once filled its arena.

Your 75-minute experience focuses on the Colosseum. Entry tickets to the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill are also included, giving you the freedom to explore these historic sites at your own pace. Wander among the Forum’s temples, basilicas, and public spaces, then see the remains of imperial palaces on Palatine Hill. If the Forum and hill are closed when your Colosseum visit ends, you can use those tickets the next day.

Meet your guide outside Caffè Roma on Via del Colosseo 31. Bring identification that matches the names provided at booking, and enjoy a Rome Colosseum guided tour that pairs expert insight with time to explore at your own pace.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 3.57 from 49 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 5.1.
