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.”

Very informative tour. Nice to skip some of the many lines, and to learn while we waited. Tour was well organized and professional.

Well organized company, knowledgeable tour guide. We had a nice time. I appreciated the length of the tour (not too long and you are free to stay as long as you want afterwards). My only feedback for the company would be that our particular guide spoke rather quickly in a staccato Italian accent that didn’t come across very well in the headphones.
Pro tip: if you are doing this in the summer go as early in the day as possible. We went at 11:30am and it was already over 90 degrees F. And “skip the line” really means “wait in a different line for 20 minutes designated for groups”. Nothing this or any company can do about that…just set expectations.

The 5:30pm tour and information was great. Our guide really knew her facts and made the experience great. She was a little difficult to understand out times but when we were in less crowded areas we could understand her well. My feedback would be to consider a different meeting point as it was crowded and uncomfortable at times with all peddlers.

Guide was friendly and knowledgable and provided a lot of information. Be prepared for numerous steps, walking and standing. Great way to see the colosseum and learn the history.

Good tour. Colosseum is big and hard to navigate. It's good to join with a guide in order to focus on important viewing sites. Guide was knowledgeable. I found the instructions of the meeting point a little hard to find. But i called them on the stated number and they directed me to the location. Overall good tour and was done very efficiently.

Our guide Paolo was extremely knowledgeable and we learnt lots of interesting facts. The “skip the line access” means the tour group can go into the dedicated tour group line rather than the general admission line - it’s still a fair wait.

The tour was outstanding. Pepe, the guide was extraordinary and everything was just perfect. Lots of knowledge shared and it makes a Whole difference to experience the coliseum with a guide or alone. Its absolutely worth it ! I cannot recommend it enough. The guide was above and beyond my expectations !

Initially we had a hard time finding the meeting location, it ended up being outside the metro station next to a convenience store. We arrived 15 minutes prior as requested, however the coordinator arrived at the time of the start of the tour. She was pretty fast at providing the entrance tickets and audio equipment and had a good attitude. Once our tour started the tour guide Pepe was very knowledgeable, had a great attitude and made the tour very enjoyable. We would recommend this tour to our friends and family.

Not being able to take pictures. Everything was hurry, okay? The sound quality was awful as well. Save your money because I lost all of mine.
