Your guide was waiting just where he said he would be guided us into the Colosseum without any fuss and from there we had a great time wandering around at our leisure until it was time to go over to Palatine Hill and the Roman Forum which was another fantastic experience, very please we booked the tickets with you and will definitely use you again at other locations.

Disappointed by not being met at the start - I only recieved a whatsapp message as we were on our way to the Colloseum and the meeting point. Several phone calls were made but by this point (aprox 45 mins before our tour) I was using my phone to navigate streets etc. We did enjoy the access the tickets gave us and took our time to view as much as we could.

The ticket said that the entrance was at 5 pm and that we had to be at the meeting point 15 minutes before... we arrived at the meeting point at 4:40 pm and we never saw the guide and we never saw the identification sign that we were given, so we decided to go in alone. The guide contacted me and was very nice, but we were already inside. He mentioned that the appointment was at 5 pm and that from then on they would wait 15 minutes and go in. In the end, we got together and he handed us an interesting book and nothing else. Finally, mention that we bought tickets at 5 pm and the ticket says 3 hours and at 6 pm they kicked us all out so we did not get to see everything we wanted to see. In short, everything was unclear and confusing.

We enjoyed moving freely around the Colosseum and the Forum, with the help of the little book. However, we didn't like the fact that our visit was postponed for an hour.

Your experience


Pulse of ancient Rome

Your journey begins at the Colosseum, an iconic symbol of Rome's imperial past. With your host leading the way, you'll bypass the long entry lines and step straight into the ancient theater. Experience the thrill of the battles gladiators once fought, as you explore the first and second tiers of the amphitheater, delving into details of the caste distinctions and seating arrangements. Visit the museum for more historical insights. From there, you'll proceed to the Roman Forum where you can wander among the ruins of once-thriving temples, markets, and government buildings. Finally, climb the Palatine Hill, the legendary birthplace of Rome, and enjoy panoramic views of the city below. This immersive tour includes ample time to explore these historical sites at your own pace.

Customize your adventure

Choose from a variety of ticket options to enhance your experience. Opt for a digital audio guide in six languages, offering a more in-depth understanding of these historical sites. For those who prefer reading, a detailed English guidebook is available. For a unique, immersive experience, go for Virtual Reality or multimedia video. You can also get exclusive access to the arena and feel the rush of gladiator battles, that pulled people from all walks of Roman life.
