Itinerary

Admission included60 min

I recommend guided tours. These options can help you save time and ensure a smoother experience. Additionally, guided tours often provide knowledgeable guides who can share interesting facts, stories, and historical context as you explore these ancient sites. Palatine Hill, the legendary birthplace of Rome, offers a panoramic view of the Roman Forum and the city itself. It was once home to emperors and aristocrats, with luxurious palaces and gardens. Exploring Palatine Hill allows you to delve into layers of Roman history, from its mythical origins to the days of imperial Rome.

Admission included45 min

Roman Forum The Roman Forum features impressive architectural remains, including temples, basilicas, arches, and monuments. It showcases the architectural styles and techniques of ancient Rome, demonstrating the grandeur and engineering prowess of the civilization.

Admission included45 min

Palatine Hill Palatine Hill's fame can be attributed to its historical connections to the founding of Rome, its association with imperial palaces, the stunning views it offers, the archaeological excavations that have revealed ancient treasures, its mythological ties, and its cultural and historical significance as a symbol of Roman power and luxury.

Directions can be trippy

I think this guide was pretty good considering the price. I went with my sister (16 and 18 year olds) so we only paid for one of us since children are free. We met the host right by the colosseum, so there wasn't any stress finding the right address. It was easy to come into the Colosseum and the other landmarks with the already bought tickets and the sound files worked well. This also lets you move around as you wish at your own tempo which we also appreciated. The only loop hole I'd mention is that it is a little hard to find what (or where) each sound file is talking about, considering there is a file for a great number(!) of things inside the colosseul and foro romanum (Those files were very interesting!!). It did start with "To your right" or "To your left", but we didn't know if we were standing in the right direction to begin with, so we got stuck often wondering where we were supposed to look. The files had pictures and titles that did help alot, but for two teenagers that has minimal knowledge about roman history, it still felt complicated. We thought multiple times how a live guide would fit better for us. Overall; great information and most went as you'd expect, just a lot of wasted time spent buzzing around and looking at the wrong places🥲 If I could go back, I'd honestly get a proper guide.

Great place for 4hrs with the right tour

Coliseum, Roman Forum, & Palestine Hill. These are magnificent! We scheduled for later afternoon. With gates closing at 6pm, it pushed our time to keep moving. We could have stayed another hour. Communication with a 3rd party wasn’t clear. He was also limited what he shared as to how to be most efficient with that time. Plan to have water cuz it’s limited inside the Coliseum

Worth visiting once in better weather, map and audio guide useless in orienting you

Definitely cuts down the wait time at ticket booth but this basic your offers you nothing more than what you get at the booth. If you don’t want to wait in line, buy this ticket. Viator agent on site gave me a digital map and very rushed instructions on where to go and what to do. They give you a link to an audio tour when You check in. The digital map shows entrances but nothing more that will help you orient you towards the places you see. The audio tour is more a byline commentary and is not a true guided tour. It does not “walk” you through the colosseum and explain what you’re seeing. The colosseum itself has plaques detailing the historical and architectural details of certain structures but would have been nice if it contained details on use and purpose of those structures. Overall, the entire visit was very disappointing.

Waste of money

Waste of money. When we arrived expecting a live guide, we received a WhatsApp scan and our tickets sent to us electronically. Then an audio guide that was definitely created by AI. We could have saved 30 euros and bought our own tickets. Why pay that type of markup for a sub-par AI audio guide that should cost 5 euro max? Terrible value for money. Save your money for a live guide. 1/10 would not recommend.

We booked this tour last...

We booked this tour last minute but it was perfect for us. We wanted to see the inside of the Colosseum but go at our own pace. This tour gave us just that.

Too expensive

Way too expensive and the staff was stressed, unfriendly and pushy. The Audioguide was okay but nit worth the price tag Never Again.

Operator response

It was better for you stay on the line hours after hours in the sun , We did not force you to book it , You saw the price and book it. You did not find the ticket anywhere, after that you got it from us . This audio guided tour with ticket is not for poor minded people. Change your mind and see how beautiful the world is !

Tour at your own pace with sound tracks.

The host is super nice and knowledgeable. He holds a flag with company logo and is easy to find. I booked the tour at 12:30 but the time ticket I got was for 1:30 pm so make your travel plan accordingly. The ticket gets you into three attractions but did not include the Arena ticket for the Collosseum.
