  • Rome, Italy

Hear tales of gladiators and discover the Colosseum’s history with an expert guide, with an option to add the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill.

About this tour

Step into the world of ancient Rome on a guided Colosseum tour, where stories of gladiators and wild animals bring the arena’s past to life. An expert guide also reveals how this landmark was built and the history behind its rise. Choose the option that suits your visit: some options include a tour of the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, while the 1-hour Colosseum option does not. The regular Colosseum option offers an arena view without access to the arena itself. Your ticket and reservation fee are included, and a live English-speaking guide leads the experience. Arrive at the meeting point 30 minutes early with identification that matches the names on your booking; entry may be delayed when the site is crowded. Discover the stories etched into Rome’s most famous monument on a Colosseum guided tour, then choose an option with the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill to continue exploring the city’s ancient heart.

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.
