Amazing. The history amd stories about the coliseum are amazing. 2000 years old. It is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. Love going down to the arena. The area around the coliseum is awesome.

The Colosseum is obviously a must see when in Rome. The building is impressive both inside and out. I visited here on a guided tour, with access to the ground level inside. However, you can easily enjoy it on your own with a guided tour. Also stopped by in the evening which was a nice photo-op.

After a few cancellations we finally got on our tour last week. We went to the colosseum in the evening for the underground and arena tour. It was fabulous - very quiet with few people around so we had time to enjoy it all. This was definitely the tour to go on - underground is amazing. It’s an absolutely fantastic place

Visiting the Colosseo in Rome was a journey back in time, an experience that etched itself into the core of my travel memories. This ancient amphitheater, a symbol of the grandeur of the Roman Empire, is nothing short of awe-inspiring. From the moment I approached its colossal arches, I was captivated by the sheer magnitude and architectural brilliance of the Colosseo. Stepping inside felt like stepping into history itself. The remnants of a glorious past surrounded me, each stone whispering tales of gladiatorial combat, roaring crowds, and the cultural richness of ancient Rome. What struck me most was the palpable sense of history that permeates the Colosseo. Standing in the same arena where legendary battles took place was a humbling experience, a reminder of the ingenuity and ambition of ancient civilizations. As the sun set, casting a golden glow over the ancient stones, the atmosphere became almost surreal, as if the ghosts of the past were watching over the monument.

Absolutely amazing. This is the first trip that we booked any tours BUT if you don’t book one in advance, you may have to wait hours in line. The only thing I think could be improved is the meeting area. The tour guide was exceptionally fun and full of facts that we never had heard before! You can book different tours but we just did the one of the Colosseum with the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill. The colosseum gets packed fast so booking early is the best way to go. We loved it! We booked our tours through Get Your Guide.

If you do one thing in Rome, you need to visit the colosseum! We did a tour and saw it at sunset and went out on to the gladiator platform. I would have loved to have seen the underground where the animals and slaves and gladiators were kept but it was sold out. Tickets are released a month before hand so make sure you book early if you want full access!! Go early morning or late evenings. Photographer? Make sure to get to Palestine hill at sunset to get some lovely shots from the outside. Full of history this was great to see it up close. Our tour meant we did it in an hour and a half but could have spent longer here. Lots of steps but there are lifts in places if you need access.

We went through the company city wonders. Our tour guide was Emanuela- she was absolutely amazing! We booked the tour of the Colosseum and the forum through city wonders and it was absolutely perfect. We all met at a designated spot, received radios so we could hear the guide well, and she spent the perfect amount of time in each place and gave the perfect tour. She was so personable and engaging to everyone on the tour- I wish she had been our guide throughout our whole trip! The price for this tour was very fair.

If traveling in Italy you have to see the coliseum but we certainly don't enjoy the crowds. We purchased a tour to skip the line, but even with that, there were lines everywhere. I think marking the lines better might. Our guide was constantly telling individuals that they were in the wrong line, and this isn't even the busy time of year.

The colloseum is definitely a beautiful and awe inspiring site! Even from the outside you get a good view. Inside is very busy and some areas get very clogged up. The most annoying thing we found was the guided groups as they would all stop and completely block up an area so that you couldnt see exhibits or read the signs or even get past them on some occasions.

In spite of the huge crowds and scammers doing their annoying stuff, this was amazing. Our guide was an archeologist who was knowledgeable and very passionate about the place. We took the underground tour, and it was appropriately creepy. I could almost hear the crowds cheering as they watched the brutal scene unfolding before them. (I wasn't aware that the Colosseum presented spectacles 24 hours a day - the slaughter is inconceivable to my modern mind.) Absolutely overwhelming experience, the best part of the trip.
