Itinerary
The Colosseum is an elliptical amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy, just east of the Roman Forum. It is the largest ancient amphitheatre ever built, and is still the largest standing amphitheatre in the world, despite its age.
The Forum was the centre of day-to-day life in Rome: the site of triumphal processions and elections; the venue for public speeches, criminal trials and gladiatorial matches and the nucleus of commercial affairs.
The Palatine Hill, which relative to the seven hills of Rome is the centremost, is one of the most ancient parts of the city; it has been called "the first nucleus of the Roman Empire".

The colloseum is amazing and worth a visit but we felt overwhelmed with the amount of people there and it was just too busy for us, there's different ques depending on your ticket type which was confusing initially but staff are helpful, I think if we returned we'd probably book a small group tour
Thank you for your review. We're delighted to hear that you found the Colosseum amazing and worthwhile to visit. We understand that the large crowds can sometimes make the experience feel overwhelming, especially during busy periods. We're glad our staff were able to assist with navigating the different ticket queues and help make things a little easier. Your feedback about the ticketing process is appreciated, and we'll continue working to make arrival and entry as clear as possible for visitors. A small group tour is a great way to enjoy a more guided and relaxed experience, and we hope you'll consider joining one if you visit again. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and we hope to welcome you back in the future.
I am pretty sure I booked the tickets for Monday 22nd, some how. Received tickets for Sunday when I was not even I Rome at that time . I’ve landed on Sunday evening.

The Colosseum was a must-visit. However, it was already crowded at 10:00 am on a Sunday in late June. The tickets were sent via WhatsApp and email by Italytours, which was convenient. We paid 40 euros each for a ticket, which normally costs 20 euros each. The Forum and Palatine Hill were beautiful archeological sites, but with these tickets it was not possible to skip the line and we had to stand in a long queue in the heat. Although we were guaranteed a ticket with this option, the price was a bit high.
Thank you
I didn't download the audioguide but it was worth it to pay a little extra to get the early timeslot we wanted to avoid the heat. It was good going round at our own pace rather than with a tour. We enjoyed the Rome and Troy exhibition.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review
Audio guide did not start as it should have and when it did…we had no idea where or what the audio was referring to. The numbered panels along the path to match the topic was not cleanly indicated / visible
Thank you so much for your wonderful review
I had an excellent experience visiting the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill. The entry process was smooth and well organized, and the audio guide provided fascinating historical insights that really brought the ancient ruins to life. Walking through the Colosseum was unforgettable, and exploring the Forum and Palatine Hill gave a deeper understanding of the history of Ancient Rome. The audio guide was easy to use, informative, and allowed me to explore at my own pace. The views from Palatine Hill were spectacular, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Rome who wants to learn about its incredible history while enjoying the flexibility of a self-guided visit. A truly memorable experience and well worth it!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review
The tickets provided are just the official tickets sold at double the price. No internet in the area to listen to the audioguide. Audioguide provided is also free of charge and same as signposted around the colosseum so not getting extra. It is better to buy from official website but was sold out at my time.
Dear Visitor, As clearly stated in our product description, all pricing details are provided in advance. We also made sure to arrange your tickets according to your requested time. Please note that your booking was made through a platform, which includes an additional commission fee that is beyond our control. Thank you for your understanding.
It was easy to enter and see , skip the line, no headache, the only things it was we didn't have internet and we couldn't upload the guide in our phone
Thank you so much for your wonderful review.
This is a scam I tried to go there this morning and now they won’t give my money back. We are a family from the uk we are British and they won’t refund us. You can WhatsApp me on 07539541721 and I will tell you about this. I want my money back because I had no service
Everything was great! Got WhatsApp message the day before with my tickets, instructions and app link for the audio guide.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review.
