Explore the Colosseum’s underground, arena floor, or ancient ruins on a guided Rome tour with entry to Palatine Hill and the Roman Forum.

About this tour

Step into the stories behind Rome’s most famous ancient landmark on a guided Colosseum tour. Depending on the selected option, explore the underground Hypogeum, walk onto the arena floor, or take a regular guided visit to the Colosseum and Ancient Rome.

On the underground option, discover the two-level network of tunnels and cages beneath the arena, where workers, gladiators, and animals once waited out of sight. The arena-floor option enters through the Gladiator’s Gate, placing you where historic battles unfolded, with views across the ancient stands. Tours may also continue to Palatine Hill for panoramic scenery and Rome’s founding legends, then through the Roman Forum’s temples and markets. Entrance to the Colosseum, Palatine Hill, and Roman Forum is included, along with a professional guide and headsets and radios.

Choose the Rome Colosseum tour option that suits your interests and experience the monument’s hidden spaces, dramatic arena, and surrounding ruins with an expert guide.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.00 from 4 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 6.8.
