Explore the Colosseum’s regular-access levels with a guide or at your own pace, then visit the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill.

About this tour

Explore ancient Rome with a Colosseum tour that pairs entry to the monument’s regular-access levels with a live expert guide and headsets. Choose the guided option to follow your guide through the Colosseum, or select the introduction and independent visit for a history briefing before exploring the main levels at your own pace. Both options include entry to the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, giving you the chance to continue your visit among the ruins after the Colosseum. Arena and Underground access are not included, and the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill visit is unguided. Meet at the green kiosk outside the Colosseo metro station and arrive 30 minutes early for sign-up. Bring valid identification that matches the full names supplied at booking, and provide the adults’ and children’s details so the correct tickets can be issued. Security checks are mandatory, and restrictions apply to bags and other items. Choose the Rome Colosseum tour format that suits your pace and discover the landmarks of ancient Rome.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.76 from 245 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 6.7.
