Description
One Tour, Two Perspectives. Experience the Colosseum at the heart of Ancient Rome with an expert guide. The Arena Floor is the core of this experience.

Alex was a wonderful tour guide. The small group option was fabulous as we could hear him clearly and the interaction amongst the group was great throughout the tour. Alex was knowledgeable, good-humored and personable. He told us fascinating stories about the history of the Colosseum. We had a terrific time and learned so many interesting facts. Top-notch tour and tour guide!
Rea was a great guide! We really appreciated her approach and personality.
Good tour, but we were not impressed by the guide. He talked for 45 minutes in the parking lot before we ever got to enter the colosseum. When we had to leave after 1 1/2 hours (the scheduled tour time), we had seen very little. Our guide said it takes 2 1/2 hours at least to see it and he wouldn’t hurry. That’s fine but we had to catch a cruise ship, which he seemed annoyed about.
Wow! Make sure your guide is Said because he is THE BEST. The stories he weaved in made it so easy to visualize everything clearly. This is the only way to do this place and it is worth every penny. Said is so passionate and it was so great to be a small group as well. We had at least an extra hour which was also great and plenty of time to take pictures of the astounding atmosphere. We particularly enjoyed the underground part. It is a marvel.
Eni is a fantastic guide and very nice person. We learned so much and got to see and understand so much more about the Colosseum and surrounding area than if we had explored on our own. The pace was just right in order to cover lots of different sections and it was like getting an excellent history lesson.
Being able to see the arena floor and underground was so fun. Our guide was so knowledgeable. I liked the underground as well because it was very hot while we were in Rome and it was nice to have a lot of the tour in shade. I absolutely recommend this company.
Roman Guides and Eni is a MUST! Communication was excellent from start to finish, so personable. We were a larger group so experienced 2 guides between us & both were very knowledgeable about the Colosseum / Roman history & entertaining! Admission & navigating the Underground / Arena entry went smoothly. If you are going to the Colosseum, it is definitely a must to do this tour.
Eni our guide was fantastic, brought everything to life, loved it!!
We had a very memorable experience under the colosseum was great.
Very informative tour. Endi is knowledgeable tour guide. Highly recommended
