About this tour

Step into the world of ancient Rome, from Nero’s underground palace to the arena where gladiators once stood. This Rome Colosseum Tour and Domus Aurea Virtual Reality experience pairs a guided visit to the Domus Aurea with an oculus virtual reality experience that brings the emperor’s celebrated golden house to life.

After the Domus Aurea visit, enjoy free time before meeting your Colosseum guide. Following an introduction outside, enter the arena and take in the amphitheater from the center, then explore its first and second levels for sweeping views. When the guided tour ends, you can remain inside the Colosseum as long as you like. Your ticket also gives you access to the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, where you can follow marked paths and explore the archaeological area at your own pace.

Meet in front of the Colosseo metro station, near the green kiosk, and arrive 20 minutes early. With ancient sites, vivid history, and time to explore independently, this Rome Colosseum Tour offers a memorable way to experience the city’s archaeological 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.
