We loved the tour with Guido – even our teenagers were impressed. The experience is so much better with a guide’s knowledge. Guido gave us so much information and way more than just names and numbers. Absolute recommendation!

Our guide Siriana was superb and makes the whole experience super awesome. She is very knowledgeable and passionate about the history and what she is doing. It was very helpful joining a guided tour especially with the forum and Palatine Hill parts as it would be quite difficult to navigate yourself there as they are mostly ruins.

Busy times The Colosseum is very crowded on Bank Holidays such as Easter, May Day and Christmas, as well as in summer.

We will do our best to ensure that waiting times are as short as possible, and the tour as comfortable as it can be, whilst at the same time keeping it interesting.
