We loved how organized it was. The tour itself was just okay- we felt a bit overwhelmed with all the talking at us but that could be just a personality. It was so so hot and our guide was very thoughtful with stopping for water.

The tour was on time, the entrance to the Colosseum was quick. But the best thing of all was our guide! Unfortunately I can't remember his name, but he's an incredible storyteller!

The guide was very knowledgeable and clear, making the walk up to the Colosseum so interesting. Colosseum itself was spectacular. The instructions about the meeting point was very confusing. Not clear what side of the Trajan's Column to meet and that the sign to look out for was one of the guide's sticks and not permanent sign. That was the only negative feedback.

Interesting and comprehensive comments ... walked at a comfortable pace and friendly group of travellers

Cloaked in darkness and lit up like a stage, the Colosseum during the evening is an impressive and dramatic sight not to be missed by any visitor to Rome. Now you can experience this scene both inside and out, on our special access evening tour.

Experience the Colosseum Without the Crowds

You’ll enter after the Colosseum has closed to the public when this ancient amphitheater is at its most quiet. With an expert, English-speaking guide on hand, you’ll get to explore the Colosseum like never before and get a crash course in its fascinating history.

Small Groups & Expert Guides

With groups of only 25 people or less, your tour will be intimate and your guide easy to interact with. This unique tour is perfect for visitors who want to explore the Colosseum at a slower pace than is possible not during the chaotic (and hot!) daylight hours.
