About this tour

Step into the world of ancient Rome on a guided visit to the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill, with access to the Colosseum’s arena floor. With an expert English-speaking guide, trace the stories of the gladiatorial games and walk onto the arena where the action unfolded nearly 2,000 years ago.

Continue through the Roman Forum, once the center of public life, then explore the evocative ruins of Palatine Hill, where Roman emperors made their homes. The three-hour walking tour brings these landmarks together, with headsets provided for groups of six or more. Expect steps, staircases, and uneven surfaces, so comfortable shoes and water are recommended.

Meet your guide outside Cafe/Restaurant Angelino ai Fori on Largo Corrado Ricci. Bring valid identification that matches the traveler names on your booking. Book your Rome Colosseum tour with arena-floor access and experience the ancient city on foot.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.71 from 178 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 6.4.
