The colosseum was amazing, but we were supposed to pick up our guidebook outside 15 minutes before entering. But we could not find him to pick the book up. We messaged and it said he had read it, I waited and messaged again, but no response, gave up and just went in.

It would be nice to have pdf tickets at the time of booking... This would avoid the stress of knowing whether or not you'll be able to enter the tourist site. Why not e-mail the tickets directly when you book?

This tour is one of Rome's must-sees. Not to be missed. On the other hand, paying more for a vague paper guide is not justified. There's no point.

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.
