Small-Group Tour of the Colosseum Including Roman Forum and Palatine Hill

About this activity
Meet your guide and small-group of 15 people or less by the magazine kiosk in front of the Colosseo metro stop, which is directly opposite the entrance to the mighty Colosseum. Bypass the famously long lines with your included skip-the-line entry, and head directly inside the largest amphitheater ever built to explore its first and second levels with your guide.

Next, its off to the Roman Forum to experience the commercial and political heart of the empire. Along the way you’ll pass such sites as the titanic Arch of Constantine, Julius Caesar's final resting place, and the Temple of the Vestal Virgins: a temple served by six Vestal virgins who were charged with the unenviable task of safeguarding the morality of Ancient Rome.

Finally, you’ll ascend Palatine Hill to hear the legend of Romulus and Remus, the mythological founders of Rome, and learn how the word "palace" actually originated at this very place. By the tour's end you'll have a better understanding of the importance of this once-great empire — and the characters that played such a crucial role in shaping history — than ever before. 

Your tour concludes inside the Roman Forum.

Additional
  • Confirmation will be received at time of booking
  • The Colosseum has changed its admission policy to ensure that only 3,000 people are allowed within the amphitheater at any given time, meaning much less crowding during busy periods. Although our tickets are pre-booked with Skip the Line access, this may mean a slight delay on entering if capacity has already been reached. We expect that the instances of this will be limited but ask for your patience if you travel on a busy day and are affected by this unavoidable circumstance. In all, it should make for a much nicer experience for all (and longer general access lines!).
  • The Colosseum is subject to occasional closures. Please provide us with detailed contact information in case we need to reschedule your tour

It was a great tour and our guide, Jaber was very informative and interesting!! He showed us maps of how it would have looked in the past and was truly interested in what he was doing. He also kept checking that we were all present an would wait for us and kept trying to keep us in the shade if possible as it was 30 degrees celcius.

We toured early in the morning at 8:30 am so it wasn't too busy and we skipped all lines with zero wait times-even through security. We lucked out and ended up getting a private tour as the other party booked for the small group did not show up. Our guide was very professional and knowledgeable. He encouraged us to ask questions as much as we wanted. Vincenzo was his name. Great guide and memorable tour.

GiGi our guide made this a very interesting and informative tour. His knowledge of this venue was very impressive and his warmth and friendliness, referring to each person by their first name made it all very special. I would highly recommend this tour.

Would recommend to anyone. Our guide, Phelix was tremendous. The group was met on time at the instructed spot. We went on a day where there was the National period where Italy's citizens were encourage to visit these spots for free, so the skip the line advantageous were not present, but Phelix handled with poise and got us through quickly, and spoke the whole time in line, providing great insights to history of Rome, the area, the leaders, what occurred and made the fact that the skip the line advantages weren't present, irrelevant . The 2 1/2 hour tour was enjoyable because of the guide, Phelix, his knowledge of history, his ability to speak English was just excellent. And he has just a great great personality. Would recommend this tour to anyone, and if you are fortunate enough to have Phelix as your guide, all the better. I love history, and Phelix exceeded my expectation with his constant background to the history of everything, brought it alive!
