Use a dedicated gate restricted to the general public access to enter the Colosseum. Walk through the Gladiators Gate and right onto the Colosseum, where gladiators fought in ancient times and catch a glimpse of the beautiful Roman amphitheater surrounding you, where 60,000 screaming spectators would watch champions fight their opponents to the death. From here, you can even see the names of Roman nobles carved into some of the seats right atop the Arena Floor. Get your cameras ready, this view makes for the perfect picture.
After experiencing the exclusive Arena Floor, climb to the first and second tiers of the Colosseum. See where Rome’s wealthiest citizens sat to watch the gladiator games. Your guide will explain the rules of gladiator matches, as well as how this glorious structure got the name “Colosseum.”

Reviews for Colosseum Guided Tour
Colosseum guided tour

Guide was amazing!
Very well educated about the history of the colosseum.
Super friendly and even offered suggestions on restaurants!
We got a little lost so one of the guides, Tana’s came and found us!
We expected a better tour for the cost

We really wanted a guided tour rather than going it alone. Unfortunately we could only understand about half of what the guide said. He had a very strong accent and should have spoken slower and enunciated more. We also felt like it was too short!
You cancelled last minute. Boo. We will not use you again for a tour.

Well since you cancelled my tour 15 minutes before the scheduled time, we waited in line for an hour and a half for regular tickets and except for the wait, we had a lovely time. No thanks to Trip Advisor. Do not recommend.
Coliseum tour

The coliseum was great and our tour guide was really nice, but we couldn’t hear him the entire tour because the radios they used weren’t very good. Also, when we showed up it seemed a bit unorganized and chiatoc.
Wonderful time at the Coliseum.

The tour was very informative and well done. Our guide, I believe her name was Maria knew her material and presented in a great way. Probably should be a 4 1/2 stars but I don’t k ow how to do the half’s.
