Avoid large crowds at the general public entrance and dive right into the Ancient Rome atmosphere by entering the Colosseum through the special Gladiators’ Gate and starting your 3 hour tour directly into the Arena where the combats used to take place!
After having met your licensed professional guide and your fellow tourers, your tour will start! Follow your guide inside the Colosseum, and enter this amazing sight from the Arena, restricted area, an official gladiator entrance. After the tour of the Colosseum, you will visit the Palatine Hill: the huge wonderful outside museum that hosted amazing legends and historical events. Then, you will continue your tour in the Roman Forum, place where the political, religious and commercial life used to meet together.
This incredible 3 hours tour will bring you back in the past, making you live the life of an ancient Roman for a few hours.

it's the Colosseum. can't miss it. but they changed the start time twice, and there is no tour, it's just tickets to get in. busy time of year, so I get it. but guest in front of me was asking a million questions and we were running late to the start time. not enough helpers to check people in.

The perfect four to learn about the history of Rome. 1000% should be done. We loved learning about the forum, and how Rome is literally a lasagna (lol). You won’t e disappointed with the knowledge of the guides and things you will learn.

The tour guide was very informative and funny. Started on time and went at at great pace as not to be rushed through.

Viator was absolutely horrible.
The tour that was advertised AND the customer service. Particularly, the customer service was incredibly underwhelming. Having a bad experience with a mis-advertised tour is one thing, but then explaining your entire experience to several customer service reps and them telling you that your case is sufficient for a refund, but that the refund team will not hear any of your experience...is incredibly frustrating. I poured my heart out to the customer service rep that I was WhatsApp texting as the issues were occurring with the tour company in real time and they said that they wouldn't share any of the horrible details with the refund team because they would independently conduct an investigation and come to a "resolution" on their own.
How can a reputable company's customer service team not relay crucial information about a customer's horrible experience to the refund team? This company has no intention of refunding their customers, no matter what happens. They did not take my experience into account at all. I paid the money in full, even though the tour was mis-advertised on Viator's website, my family was treated poorly, we were charged extra upon arrival to the tour, half of my family was not even allowed on the tour, and the tour company would not refund us. This whole thing has turned me off from ever using Viator for anything ever again. The customer service SUCKS.
I even followed up separately on WhatsApp with a new customer service rep and explained my situation AND emailed the refund team that reached out to me to DECLINE my request for a refund (even a partial refund for the members of my family that were just unable to experience anything of the $800 I paid for this experience). Both reps told me that the refund team had conducted its own investigation and decided WITHOUT MY INPUT OF EXPERIENCE that I would not get a refund.
When I asked what the criteria of the investigation was, they stopped responding to my email chain. They could not tell me why they could not offer me a refund. This was a total scam.

Stated 'Small group, average of 16 maximum 20' - there was 30 in our group and it was almost impossible to take in and see what the guide was telling us.
Stated 'skip the lines' - we had to queue 3 times, no saving time here!
Stated 'venture in through the gladiators gate' - we weren't even shown the gladiators gate, let alone venture through it. Although expensive, happy to pay for such a unique experience, so when it didn't happen, you can imagine the disappointment.
Stated 'Learn more about Rome's ancient past at the Palatine Hill and Roman Forum' - we were rushed through the Roman Forum as the guide was 'running late' and had 'forgotten his phone' so only saw half of it and did not get shown Palatine Hill at all.
5 to 6 hours (inc travel), much of which wasted in queues or trying to battle to see what the guide was attempting to explain.
Huge let down and disappointment - Viator not interested when I made contact to raise my concerns.

Small, manageable group with time allocation. Skipped the long queue during the process of entering Colosseum. Stunning view accessing from The Arena. Lady tour leader (can't recall her name) was passionate in delivering stories during the entire tour. In short, it was money well spent for this activity. Shout out to the lady that brought us on Mar 27th, 9:45am tour with "Pink sticker" group.

Silvia was such a lovely guide. She was so passionate about the history of the place and so happy for me to ask my many many (sometimes unrelated) questions!
The tour was a good pace and she provided easy to understand and interesting information. I would not have had anywhere as much of a good time had I gone by myself and relied on the signage!
Thank you Silvia!
