Itinerary
Enjoy the most exclusive areas of the Colosseum, where most visitors cannot access: the COLOSSEUM ARENA FLOOR. It was the central sand-covered wooden platform where the fights took place (‘arena’ was the Latin word for ‘sand’). You will access through the special Gladiator's Gate of Death, where dead gladiators and animals were once carried away. Have your camera ready to take amazing pictures on the Colosseum: from the Arena floor you will have a 360-degree views of the Colosseum. After visiting the Arena floor, the tour will continue on the first and second tiers of the Colosseum. Here, the panoramic terraces will give you an excellent opportunity to take more stunning photos and admire the monument from a privileged position. Learn more about its history, the bloody games it hosted, and loads of anecdotes and curiosities. For example, why is the Colosseum called Colosseum?
Your tour will then lead you on a journey through history, visiting the area of the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill. The Roman Forum was the political, administrative and social heart of Rome, today one of the most extraordinary archaeological areas, where the illustrious past of the city echoes in the suggestive ruins of its ancient monuments. Explore the public spaces, sacred temples and market areas where the daily life of the Romans unfolded. Admire the the Basilicas in the Roman Forum where the great administrative trials took place and the great orators made their famous speeches. Walk along the Sacred Way where the religious processions paraded; pause in the Temple of Vesta where the Vestal Virgins guarded the sacred fire of the city and kept it alight. History has never been so alive!
Finish your journey through history among the majestic ruins of the Palatine Hill, where Romulus is said to have founded the city in 753 B.C. You will discover the glorious past of Rome, the life of Mark Antony, Cleopatra, Julius Caesar, the luxurious residences of Roman emperors and their daily life. There is no more exclusive or entertaining way to step back in time and immerse yourself in Ancient Rome’s history. Don’t miss this unique sightseeing experience in Rome!

Informative and hot! It was a great pace for the tour, make sure you have a copy of your passport or ID on you for the Colosseum. Def bring plenty of water (you can refill at the fountains throughout the tour. Bring a small umbrella or wide brim hat for the Italian sun!
We had a terrible experience with Rome With Silvia. We had confirmed tickets and a booked Colosseum tour for 3 adults and 2 children. When we arrived at the meeting point, the guide informed us that we were not on their schedule at all. From that point on, things only got worse. We repeatedly called the office and received absolutely no help. Our calls were ignored, there was no attempt to solve the issue, no alternate guide offered, no rebooking assistance, and no accountability whatsoever. Instead of trying to resolve the problem for a family standing outside the Colosseum with children, they simply cancelled our tickets on their end and left us stranded to figure everything out ourselves. Completely unprofessional and extremely disappointing, especially considering this was one of the main experiences we planned for our trip to Rome. I would strongly recommend booking with a more reliable tour company.
We are very sorry for the distress caused, especially while travelling with children. However, your booking did not appear in our system or internal records, which is why the guide had no reservation under your name. We regret that the issue could not be resolved immediately and recommend verifying why the confirmed booking was not transmitted to us.
The private tour allowed us to travel at our own pace. We could ask questions and have conversations about different related topics. It was great to see the Colosseum from a variety of perspectives. Our tour guide was exceptional.
We had an incredible tour of the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill thanks to our amazing host! Loretta (I’m blanking on the name) were incredibly friendly, engaging, and knowledgeable, bringing the history of ancient Rome to life. She made the entire experience memorable and answered all our questions with enthusiasm. Highly recommend!
Viator left us hanging. The local tour operator did not offer this tour on the day we picked, however Viator still booked this tour and took our money. Viator has been declining in the past few years and after this last negative experience we will not use them again. My advice- STAY AWAY! Choose another tour company.
We are sorry for the inconvenience. This tour was not available with our company on the selected date, and the reservation never appeared in our system or internal records. As Viator accepted the booking and payment without transmitting a valid reservation to us, we recommend addressing the matter directly with their customer service.
Alessandro was an excellent tour guide. He was informative, had photos to show the before and now, and provided a comprehensive tour of the Forum and Colosseum. Thrilled!
Unforgettable visit. We especially appreciated the professionalism and friendliness of the guide. We will definitely turn to this tour operator again for our future trips.
Great tour, spectacular views, the guide, Silvia, was fantastic. We were very happy to see the Colosseum with her, after hearing about it for so long. Being able to see exclusive parts of the arena was amazing. The guide made the experience incredible, thank you Silvia for everything you told us
Beautiful experience and the guide was very professional in providing us with all the information and facts about Ancient Rome. Breathtaking views from the arena and the second ring Recommended
Terrible company. Avoid this tour! All of the other tours at the meeting spot were organized, on time and leaving as planned. A group of 15 of us were left stranded without a tour guide. She showed up eventually after moving locations several times in the heat and apparently the tour company gave her a time 30 minutes later than they told all of us who booked the tour. Poorly organized. The guide was nice and knowledgeable but the tour did not match the itinerary in the description. Skip tours with Sylvia! All of our other tours in Rome were seamless!
Dear client, I'm sorry to hear that. The guide had the meeting point at 9.15. I don't understand the late you talk about and we didn't receive any other complain. You took part in a guided tour of 3h, including Roman Forum, Palatine hill and Colosseum, with the special access to the Arena floor. I don't understand which part of the itinerary didn't match with the description. The guide made this tour many times. You describe the guide as nice and knowledgeable but at the same time you complain that she didn't carry you to somewhere you supposed to go. I think that 1 start is not the correct rating of the quality of the tour. Thank you
