Tour description

The Colosseum is one of the most visited archaeological sites in the world and attracts thousands of tourists every day. It is important that you have a reservation to skip the line, and considering its fascinating history, a guide is ESSENTIAL. Let me take care of all the details for your once-in-a-lifetime experience. You just have to worry about showing up! You will find me waiting for you at the Arch of Constantine ready to welcome you to this wonder of the world. After a warm welcome, we enter the Colosseum through a priority reservation entrance. Inside the Amphitheater, you will discover the amazing past of the Colosseum and the mystery behind the notorious Gladiators from one of my handpicked expert guides. Then you will have 20-30 minutes of free time inside to take photos and process your amazement! The Palatine Hill and the Roman Forum is where my experience lies. I doubt that I have spent more time anywhere else in Rome in the 20 years that I have called it home. I will share my expert knowledge with you and bring back to life the heart of what was once a bustling capital of the Romans! Finish off by exploring the ruins of the Emperors' Palaces and the birthplace of Rome. Although this is a free tour, we have to reserve tickets to enter these archaeological areas, which you can pay in cash or by card upon arrival. Tickets for adults cost 18 euros, those under 25 from the EU with an ID cost 5 euros, and for children under 18 there is a reservation fee of 2 euros.

What absolutely fantastic value for money this tour was. Blown away! At first was a bit skeptical to be joining a FREE colosseum tour (just had to buy my own tickets) but it was AMAZING! So so good I am so impressed. Colin was absolutely fantastic, such an engaging talented person. We covered the Colosseum, palatine hill and the Roman forum in depth, saw the most amazing sights and I took the most incredible photos! So happy I joined this, thank you so much Colin!
