Rome Colosseum Arena Floor 1- or 3-Hour Guided Tour & Roman Forum and Palatine Hill

Discover the Colosseum and ancient Rome
with an expert guide

Meet your guide at the meeting point in front of Colosseo metro station to start the tour. You can hear the guide's commentary clearly through earphones. Depending on your option, the tour runs as a 1-hour Colosseum tour, a 3-hour tour including the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, or the freedom experience.

Walk through the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill

On the 3-hour tour and the freedom experience, walk with your guide through the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, where the Roman Empire was born and governed. See ancient temples, imperial palaces, triumphal arches and scenic viewpoints while hearing stories of emperors, senators and ordinary Romans. The 1-hour tour option includes only entry tickets to the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, without a guided tour.

Stand on the Colosseum arena floor

With the guided tour options, enter the Colosseum with your guide, follow the guided route and step onto the arena floor where gladiators once stood. Under Colosseum visitor rules, you cannot leave the group to explore alone during the inside guided tour. With the freedom option, listen to your guide at viewpoints outside the Colosseum, then enter on your own with the Roma Pass and explore at your own pace (standard entry, no arena access). The Roma Pass also gives you 2 days of unlimited public transport.

※ Strict security checks are required before entering the Colosseum, with waits of 5–30 minutes.
※ The itinerary may change depending on local conditions.
