As the most enduring symbol of the Roman Empire and one of the most famous landmarks in the world, the Colosseum receives more than 6 million visitors per year – which means it's not easy to escape the crowds. A visit to see the world's largest amphitheater – once known as the Flavian Amphitheater – is well worth it, though.

Inside the ancient complex, there is very little signage explaining what you're looking at, which is why tours are a popular way to explore. A good tour will not only get you skip-the-line access but also bring this incredible place to life.

Keep in mind that most Colosseum tours only give you access to the arena floor and upper level. If you want to visit the hypogeum (Colosseum underground), you need to make sure it's included in the tour.

Best Private: Roma Experience – Private Colosseum Tour With Roman Forum & Palatine Hill

Courtesy of Roma Experience

Price: From 499 euros per person (about $548) Duration: 2 hours and 45 minutes

For a deeper understanding of the Colosseum, a private tour with Elisa Valeria Bove, CEO of Roma Experience, is one of the best you can take. As an archaeologist, Bove has been involved in excavations at the Roman Forum and other historic sites. Her Colosseum tour typically includes the Roman Forum, Palatine Hill, the Arch of Constantine, Via Sacra and the House of Vestal Virgin. Be sure to specify if you want to visit the hypogeum (Colosseum underground) when you book.

Roma Experience organizes bespoke private tours throughout Italy, including multiday itineraries. Bove will work with you to customize your experience and bring you to places you wouldn't think to visit, like Quintili's Villa on the ancient Appian Way.

Best for Families: LivTours – The Best of Colosseum & Ancient Rome With Exclusive Arena Access

Courtesy of LivTours

Price: Adults from 139 euros (about $153); kids from $124 (about $136) Duration: 3 hours

Recent visitors praise the guides on this tour for bringing the stories about ancient Rome to life and entertaining everyone along the way — kids included.

Upon booking this tour, participants receive an invitation to download an app. During the tour, the guide gives everyone a cardboard virtual reality headset that works with the app and shows a reconstruction of the Colosseum and the surrounding valley. After visiting the Colosseum, the tour continues to the Palatine Hill and Roman Forum, where the virtual reality headsets show you a reconstruction of the Circus Maximus and the structures in the Roman Forum. At all the sites, you get skip-the-line access.

These semiprivate tours are guaranteed to have no more than six people, making them a more personalized experience than other group tours. However, because the tours are small, the guides don't use headsets, and some participants note that it can be difficult to hear the guide over the noise in the Colosseum.

Price: From $60.46 per person Duration: 1 to 1.5 hours

A nighttime tour of the Colosseum not only affords an opportunity to see the famous landmark aglow, but it also allows visitors to avoid some of the crowds and high temps that come with a daytime visit. Recent tourgoers say they enjoyed the tour for these reasons, also noting that the guides are excellent. However, many wish the tour were a bit longer (or priced cheaper considering its short duration). The tour does not cover the Roman Forum or Palatine Hill.

Evening departure times vary by time of year.

Rome Tours offers a variety of other tours throughout the city, from a comprehensive daytime tour of the Colosseum to a bar crawl .

Frequently Asked Questions

Most tours last about three hours and require that you arrive at your departure point early. Factoring in transportation time, you'll want to allot at least a half-day of your vacation itinerary for the Colosseum.

The best time to visit the Colosseum is from November through February during the offseason (and when temperatures are cooler).

There isn't a dress code for the Colosseum, so plan to simply wear comfortable, seasonally appropriate attire (and know that summers in Rome can be extremely hot). No matter when you go, comfortable walking shoes are a must.

1. best colosseum private tour: ancient rome: colosseum and roman forum private tour.

• Departure Point : Piazza del Colosseo, 1, 00184 Rome
• Departure Time : Between 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM
• Duration : 3 hours
• Includes : Skip-the-line access to Colosseum, Roman Forum, Palatine Hill, licensed tour guide

As the largest amphitheater in the world, the aptly-named Colosseum is certainly an impressive and unavoidable marvel located in the center of Rome. Ancient Rome is fascinating not only for history buffs, but pretty much anyone who’s ever heard of gladiators or the iconic metropolis.

The Ancient Rome: Colosseum and Roman Forum Private Tour is one of the best ways to see the legendary structure, avoiding the crowds and stepping into an exclusive experience like no other.

One of the things that always makes me a bit nervous about visiting a major tourist attraction, are the massive lines that usually come with them. Thanks to the skip-the-line access, as soon as we arrived to the Colosseum, we got to literally head right inside with our guide.

It turns out that our guide is actually an expert in Ancient Roman history, which we got to benefit from as he told us all kinds of interesting stories and background surrounding it!

With a maximum of 6 group participants, we were able to ask any questions, and move around much easier throughout the Colosseum. We got to see the site of the Forum, which was essentially the birthplace of Rome and where the center of everything was located.

I loved seeing the remains of the temples, and other interesting structures that I didn’t know anything about! To make it even better, our guide took us to Palatine Hill which was incredible!

It offers breathtaking views of the city (particularly Circus Maximus), along with plenty of well-preserved traces of opulent palaces that the upper Roman class used to inhabit. All in all, this tour makes for a fantastic way to take in some of the most important sites in Rome without having to run around in a massive crowd!

• Departure Point : Via del Colosseo 24
• Departure Time : 7:00 or 8:00 PM
• Duration : 2 hours
• Includes : Special nighttime access to the Colosseum, underground access, arena floor access, headsets

Exploring Rome is almost like walking through a museum, except for the fact that it’s a living, breathing city full of stories and history. One of the coolest places to visit within Rome is undoubtedly the colosseum – even more so at night with exclusive access to areas most people don’t get to see!

Even if you’ve already seen the famous landmark before, I guarantee the Rome Colosseum by Night with Underground & Arena Floor Tour will offer a much different perspective for you!

This unique and intimate encounter with ancient Rome let us explore underground chambers and the arena floor (amongst other places) free from the usual daytime crowds.

Of course, we also enjoyed access to the main areas that you’ll get to see on any tour, but this tour led by a professional archaeologist offered more insight than I’d ever had before.

Plus, being able to see the Colosseum at night alone, was worth it – it emits a much different vibe and took photos like no others I previously had! The tour started out on the exterior of the Colosseum, with our guide leading us around the entire building while teaching us about the structure itself, as well as the surrounding area.

I am already into architecture, but all of our private group was captivated by the interesting facts about how it was built, and how earthquakes deeply affected it.

After that, we headed inside, with lighting that really made it feel like we had headed back in time when it was in use during the days of the gladiators.

Venturing through the labyrinth of tunnels, we got to see where they kept the wild animals, as well as what’s left of cages, elevators, and even gladiator rooms.

Perhaps the most striking feature was the “Gate of Death”, along with the stories that made us see the gladiators more as humans as opposed to just warriors. Please do yourself a favor and don’t miss out on the best Colosseum night tour!

3. best colosseum family tour: skip the line colosseum tour for kids and families.

• Departure Point : Piazza del Colosseo, 00184 Roma RM
• Departure Time : 1:00 PM
• Includes : Private guided tour with Priority access, professional archaeologist and historian guide

I know a lot of people who avoid going to big “tourist” hotspots like Rome, because they’re worried if it’s going to be possible with kids. While I can’t say that it’s not stressful at all with big crowds, it’s more about selecting the right tours that cater specifically towards families with children.

If you’re looking for something like that, I have the best one for you: the Skip the Line Colosseum Tour for Kids and Families !

This is a slightly shorter tour than the others on this guide, which is actually designed to make sure no small kids get tired or sick of walking around. After we arrived to the Colosseum, we didn’t have to worry about waiting in massive queues with kids thanks to the skip-the-line tickets.

We headed right inside with our tour guide, who was also really great with little ones and keeping them entertained. They did a great job at taking some pretty serious material like gladiators fighting potentially to the death, and formatted things in a way that were appropriate for people of all ages.

The kids in our group were absolutely fascinated with the fact that they had lions and bears in the tunnels below, along with the visual aids and interactive activities.

It was one of the more “fun” tours of its kind, and even though it was tailored more towards kids, all of us adults really loved it, too! I would personally recommend on taking the tour a bit later in the afternoon (around 4 or 5), as it’s significantly less hot and the crowds are lighter.

I appreciated that our guide let us stop for photos throughout, making it easy to get some mementos to take home with us. If you have any kids in your group, don’t pass this one up!

4. Best Colosseum Budget Tour: Colosseum Tour with Roman Forum and Palatine Hill

• Departure Point : Colosseo Metro Station, Line B Exit
• Departure Time : 10:40 AM, 1:20 PM
• Duration : 1 hour, 30 minutes (approx.)
• Includes : Small group tour with local guide, skip-the-line access, access to normally off-limits areas of the Colosseum

If it’s your first time in Rome, it can be intimidating trying to figure out what is worth seeing and what you may have to skip. There are so many things to see in this city, literally where every corner seems to have something interesting to offer.

With the Colosseum Tour with Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, you get a taste of everything in a well-organized experience easy to fit into even the busiest of schedules.

This tour clocks in at around 2.5 hours and there are tons of different tour start times available so you don’t have to worry about it not working with the rest of your itinerary.

It also comes in many different languages, though I can attest that our guide spoke excellent English. Ours managed to keep our entire group entertained while still sharing valuable and interesting stories along the way.

While we didn’t have a skip-the-line or fast pass entrance, we did get to go through a dedicated group entrance which really helped move us inside quickly.

We got to see the monument from beautiful vantage points while our guide regaled us with tales of gladiators and drama-loving spectators. I also appreciated that they took us to the best spots for photos with plenty of stops along the way.

After that, we headed to Palatine Hill, which offers some of the best views of the Roman Forum – particularly of Circus Maximus. This is a fantastic way to gain insight into ancient Roman culture and how their society operated back then. Don’t pass this opportunity up if your stay in Rome is a brief one!

5. Best Colosseum Guided Tour: Rome Colosseum with Access to the Gladiator Arena

• Departure Time : 9:30 AM, 2:30 PM
• Duration : 3 hours (approx.)
• Includes : Expert tour guide, headsets, skip-the-line privileged access to the Colosseum and gladiator arena

If you’re looking for an even more brief tour experience, look no further than the Rome Colosseum with Access to the Gladiator Arena tour! It’s just 1.5 hours but packs in a ton of information and sightseeing with an expert guide who will share more than the cookie-cutter facts.

If you’d like to delve deep into the history of these brave fighters, this immersive experience is a can’t-miss! Imagine following in the footsteps of gladiators, while learning about the different games that happened right on this floor!

As we entered the Colosseum, our expert guide took us through each section while giving us an equally entertaining and educational narrative. The spectator stands and archways were incredible, and it was hard wrapping my mind around all of the wild animal hunts and dramatic enactments that took place here.

However, undoubtedly the centerpiece of the tour is the rare privilege of being able to actually step foot onto the arena floor. It’s crazy to think of how many humans and wild animals had to fight to survive (or for glory) right where we stood – almost as if the moment was frozen in time.

It’s definitely an experience that offers broader understanding and insight, rather than just a “Cool! Gladiators with swords fighting lions!” type of tour.

Beyond the arena, we were able to check out and learn the history behind the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, offering a more “complete” journey through Rome’s ancient splendor.

I really appreciated our guide’s focus on authenticity and education, and for that, I say it’s a must-see for any history buff! If you want the chance to stand on the threshold of antiquity and learn about Rome’s cultural heritage like never before, check this tour out!

6. Colosseum Underground and Ancient Rome Semi-Private Tour MAX 6 People Guaranteed

• Duration : 3.25 hours
• Departure : Piazza del Colosseo, 21, 00184 Rome
• Departure Time : 9:15 AM, 12:15 PM, 1:30 PM
• Includes : Small group size, head to underground and Colosseum arena, local expert guide, skip the line entry

Whether you’re a seasoned pro or it’s your first time in the city, you simply have to consider this next tour. The Colosseum Underground and Ancient Rome Semi-Private Tour will show you hidden secrets that lie beneath the surface of one of the most easily-identifiable, legendary structures in all of history.

Follow in the footsteps of everyone from gladiators to kings on this captivating tour with an expert guide to lead the way. With incredible attention to detail and organization, our guide was able to practically transform time.

In the time it could easily take to stand in line to see the Colosseum alone, we say the circular structure, along with Palatine Hill and the Roman Forum ruins. With small group tours maxing out at just 6 people, it was an intimate experience with personalized attention that elevated this tour heads above almost all the rest.

Once we met up at the Colosseum Metro Station, we skipped past the line and headed straight into the depths of the famous landmark. The subterranean chambers are a labyrinth where wild animals and gladiators awaited their fates, and our guide regaled us with many emotional tales of some of the events that happened here.

Then, we headed up to the arena level where we actually got to head straight onto the original floor which most visitors don’t get the chance to do.

After the Colosseum, we traversed the cobbled streets of Ancient Rome, arriving at the Roman Forum where time seems suspended in the remnants of temples and government buildings. We then continued up to Palatine Hill, which is known as one of the Seven Hills of Rome and known for being the most opulent place to live, where the wealthiest Romans resided.

7. Expert Guided Tour of Colosseum Underground, Arena and Forum

• Departure Time : Varies
• Includes : Fast track entrance tickets and reservation fees, guided tour of Underground and Arena of Colosseum, guided tour of Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, live expert guide, earphones, on-site assistance, night tour option available at Colosseum

If you’re traveling on a budget but still want to appreciate one of those “biggest bang for your buck” tours, look no further. The Expert Guided Tour of Colosseum Underground, Arena and Forum is a 3-hour experience which completely transformed the knowledge of Rome I thought I had. It’s a fully-customizable, profound excursion that will take you to some of the most legendary sights in Rome.

Before I get started, I do want to mention that we had the option to book a private tour for a slightly higher fee, which I do feel is worth it. We met up with our guide at the Colosseum, where we decided to take the night tour option which is not commonly offered.

This means less crowds, and a more intimate experience that I feel lends more of an authentic vibe to the tour. We learned all about countless stories of emperors, senators, goddesses, gladiators, and so much more as we toured around.

We even got to step on the Arena floor and head down into the Underground section: two areas that most visitors don’t even get to touch.  We then headed to the ground level, where we learned all about the revolutionary construction techniques that had never been seen before this.

We had some free time to explore before taking a little break and heading to the archaeological area of the Roman Forums and Palatine Hill. Here, we were able to take another 1-hour guided tour which was actually perhaps my favorite part!

The ancient temple ruins and stories to accompany the sites were so fascinating, and lent valuable insight into religion and Ancient Rome’s penal system.

Palatine Hill looks quite different now, though the breathtaking views I’m sure were equally as impressive as they were when Rome’s wealthiest took up residence here!

Planning Tips for a trip to Rome

Before you start packing your bags, you’ll want to know how to make your trip easier and how to get the most out of your time in Rome. These top 5 planning tips can help you do just that.

Even standing outside the monstrous architectural wonder that is the Colosseum, it’s hard not to feel overwhelmed at the technology and hard work necessary to build it. When visiting it, you will want to make sure you get the most out of the opportunity.

Tip #1: Wear Comfortable Shoes

It might be safe to say that you will want to wear comfortable shoes when touring many areas of Rome. However, there is no place in the city that requires comfortable walking shoes (can you link to a buying guide for shoes to this guide?) than the Colosseum.

This is a very large structure and many tours will take you up into the stands, onto the arena floor, or even into the underground tunnels and rooms where gladiators prepared for battle. With so much to see, you may spend hours here, and most of it spent walking.

Your best bet is to bring a comfortable pair of shoes from home, so you know they won’t hurt your feet with constant walking.

Tip #2: Take a Tour of the Colosseum

When standing in line to purchase a general admission ticket to the Colosseum, you may be waiting for quite a while. Plus, the general admission price doesn’t include priority access or access to other areas of the Colosseum.

When you purchase a ticket for a guided tour of the Colosseum, you will usually also receive skip-the-line access. This means that you will enter the Colosseum with your guide without having to stand in line. Many of these tours also offer access to areas of the structure that most people aren’t able to see.

One of the best reasons to invest in a tour of the Colosseum is that your guide will also be able to explain the different areas of the structure that you visit. Learning not just the history but also the time-true stories and legends can make your trip to the Colosseum a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Tip #3: Arrive Early, Stay Late

The Colosseum opens for visitors at 8:30 AM. Many guided tours will start between 8 and 9:30 AM. Those that start before the day’s official opening can provide a wonderful experience, seeing the Colosseum and its marvels without crowds.

If you are also going to be visiting the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, be sure to stay in the area until after sunset. Seeing the Colosseum lit up at night is a view not to be missed.

Tip #4: The Roman Forum and Palatine Hill

Even many of the general admissions tickets to the Colosseum will provide access, or a discounted rate, for entry to the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill as well. With a guided tour, you can also see all three locations. This is a great way to spend a day and you will be able to experience some of the most popular attractions in Rome all in one day.

Tip #5: Choose Nearby Accommodations

If the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill are on your list of must-visit attractions in Rome, you may want to choose accommodations that are close by. Not only does this make it easier for you to visit these places, but it is also a wonderful area of Rome to stay. Transportation is conveniently located nearby and many tours of other areas of the city have pickup locations in this area as well.

Other Attractions in Rome

Rome is full of attractions you can visit around your tour of the Colosseum. The National Roman Museum is family-friendly and houses many interesting artifacts. The Basilica of San Clemente is not just a church, but also an archaeological site.

The newer building at the entry level dates back to the 12 th -century while you can head downstairs to the original basilica built in the 4 th -century AD.

If you’d like to see some of the more ancient attractions around Rome, you have several options. The Roman Forum is the location where Romulus made the founding of the city of Rome official. It was once the epicenter of Roman life.

Ostia Antica is just 25-minutes away by train. This location was once a thriving center of commerce. Today, you can explore over 100 acres of ancient shops, baths, temples, and even apartment buildings and houses.

If you have some extra time, a visit to the Tuscany region should not be missed. With beautiful hilltop towns and wineries you should take a day trip to Tuscany . If might be the highlight of your trip!

If you would like to see more of the Italian coast, a day trip to the Amalfi Coast or Capri should not be missed!

Even with the terrible heat, she helped us stay as cool as we could by finding shade for us when she talked. The only way to visit these amazing sites is with a tour guide; otherwise, you're missing out on the amazing history!

Our guide was very knowledgeable making the Colosseum and Roman Forum more than just a collection of ruins but rather a physical representation of the stories they told us.

Tour Description

Discover ancient rome on a small group tour .

A walking tour of Rome is the perfect introduction to the city, covering the most important archaeological sites. You’ll discover the truth behind the legends of the gladiators and the arena on your Colosseum tour , and gain new insight into this magnificent monument. Continuing on your Roman Forum tour, as you stroll through the atmospheric ruins, your expert guide will help you to understand the politics and power plays that animated the ancient city. Then there’s the peaceful Palatine Hill, where the history of Rome began with Romulus and Remus. You'll visit the impressive remains of the imperial palaces and admire the stunning views of the Colosseum and the Roman Forum from the top of the hill.

With an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide to lead the way, you’ll end your in-depth tour of the Flavian Amphitheater, Forum and Palatine Hill with a much greater understanding and appreciation of Rome - a city that continues to amaze its visitors nearly three thousand years later.

Our groups are small, with a maximum of 10 people, and we buy all our tickets in advance so you can skip the lines and spend more time exploring Rome, rather than waiting around.

Learn about the bloody spectacles of the ancient games 

The ancient Colosseum is undoubtedly the most amazing monument in Rome, built on a vast scale in less than ten years. The spectacles that took place here were like nothing seen before or since, and they were designed to entertain not only the people of Rome, but also the emperor himself.

The gladiatorial games are legendary, and on your tour of the Colosseum you’ll learn the difference between fact and fiction. But you’ll also discover that truth is often stranger than fiction, as you hear stories of wild animal hunts, mass executions, naval battles, and violent re-enactments of Greek myths that all took place in the arena. You’ll learn about everything that went on behind the scenes, including the amazing machinery that made the spectacles possible and so popular. For the rare opportunity to descend into the Colosseum’s Underground to see these machines and mechanisms up close, check out our Colosseum Underground Tour . 

There was more to the games than meets the eye, and the entertainment at the Colosseum also had an important political role. Your expert guide will help you to understand the Colosseum in context, explaining what the games meant not only for the slaves and gladiators who took part, but for the whole of ancient Rome.

Explore the heart of ancient Rome in the Roman Forum

A Roman Forum group tour is an opportunity to learn about Roman history in the very place where the events took place.

These atmospheric ruins were once the political heart of the ancient city. You begin in front of the Senate, the imposing building used for the meetings and heated debates of the Republic. In the gardens and the House of the Vestal Virgins you’ll learn about the extraordinary lives and deaths of the priestesses who were tasked with ensuring Rome's sacred flame remained forever lit. We'll also visit the basilica of Julia and the basilica of Maxentius, the most important courthouses of the ancient city. The famous public trials that took place in these basilicas contributed to the fame of great historical figures such as Cicero and Caesar, whose orations were highly praised by their contemporaries.

Your walk through the Forum continues with a visit to the temples, as you explore the impressive ruins of the temples of Saturn and Castor and Pollux. Here you’ll learn about the Roman gods and the early days of Christianity, which often overlapped in unexpected ways - as you’ll see at the temple of Antoninus and Faustina, an ancient Roman temple that was transformed into a Catholic church. On your group tour of Rome you’ll also walk along one of the most important Roman roads of all, the Via Sacra, where you can still see the wheel-ruts of the carriages that passed over its flagstones for centuries.

The triumphal arches are another highlight of our visit to Ancient Rome, and you’ll be amazed by the Arch of Titus and the Arch of Septimius Severus, which dramatically represent the conquests of the Roman Empire.

See the palaces of the emperors on our Palatine Hill tour

Often overlooked by other tour companies, the Palatine Hill is one of the most beautiful parts of the ancient city. It’s also the oldes: according to legend, this was the place where the young and abandoned Romulus and Remulus were discovered by a she-wolf, and where Romulus eventually founded the city of Rome.

For centuries it was the most desirable part of Rome, as the lush hill offers stunning views of the city. The villas of the Roman aristocracy were later replaced by the enormous, luxurious villas of the emperors. On your Palatine tour you’ll explore the vast Flavian Palace, the Baths of Septimius Severus, and the Stadium of Domitian. These ruins are impressive in their own right, with their colonnades and mosaics, but hearing about the excesses the emperors indulged in here will give you a whole new perspective!

The Palatine Hill is also the perfect place to escape the heat of the city. Take a relaxing stroll in the shady Farnese Gardens of Pope Paul III, where you’ll learn about Renaissance Rome and enjoy an unparalleled view of ancient Rome - this is sure to be one of the most memorable parts of your experience.

Frank was a fabulous guide. His knowledge, experience and psssion was shared with the group. He was careful of us as it was very hot and was mindful to keep us in the shade as much as possible. Great tour!

Renee - Aug 26, 2023

Our Italian-American guide was the best of the best. She was very knowledgeable and very enthusiastic about her job! She as also very patient with me and my semi-limited mobility. She provided an alternate to me visiting one of the sites and provided me with elevator access in the Coliseum. That way I could appreciate the full extent of the tour without affecting other tour members' experience! Would definitely recommend Through Eternity tours to anyone visiting Rome!

Just had a wonderful tour of the Colosseum, Palatine Hill, and Roman forum with tour guide Olga from Walks. Olga was the best! I learned so much from her, and she explained it in such a down-to-earth fashion. Also loved the quality of the tour being smaller than most. Highly recommended!

Sep 09, 2024

Our guide Mauro was very knowledgeable and really brought the Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill to life. He was enthusiastic and passionate about the history of the place and we learned a lot. I recommend this kind of tour to help bring the ruins back to life, and if you are able, definitely go with a small group tour and try to avoid the afternoon heat during the summer by booking a morning tour.

Our tour guide Ilaria was wonderful. Her stories were fascinating and she made the Collosseum come to life.
