About this tour
Step into the world of ancient Rome on a guided visit to the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill. In the Colosseum, picture the spectacles that once drew crowds to this monumental arena.

A professional local guide brings the ruins to life with stories of fearless leaders, epic heroines, and infamous tyrants.

Meet your guide at the newsagent outside the Colosseum Metro Station exit at Piazza del Colosseo 23.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 1 review. 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 7.1. Top 48% in Rome means it ranks in the top 48% of tours in Rome by this score.
