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 (unguided) 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 Arena Floor and continues through the Roman Forum with your guide. Inside the Colosseum, this option includes the Arena Floor only, not the Regular Levels or Underground. For the most complete experience, choose the UNDERGROUND option. This 3-hour guided tour includes the Colosseum’s Regular 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.
