About this experience

Enjoy a premium tour of Ancient Rome, combining a guided visit of the Colosseum with one of 3 ways to access it: With the REGULAR option, you’ll enjoy a 1-hour guided tour of the Colosseum’s main levels, followed by included entry to the Roman Forum to explore on your own. Arena and Underground access are not included. Choose the ARENA option for a 3-hour guided experience that takes you onto the iconic Arena floor and continues through the Roman Forum with your guide. Inside the Colosseum, this option includes the Arena only, not the regular main levels or Underground. For the most complete experience, choose the UNDERGROUND option. This 3-hour guided tour includes the Colosseum’s main levels, Arena floor and fascinating Underground area, as well as a guided visit of the Roman Forum. Whichever option you choose, your Colosseum and Roman Forum entry is included.
