Itinerary
The Colosseum is the largest amphitheater ever built and the symbol of Rome. Travelers marvel at its imposing architecture, imagining the gladiatorial games and wild animal hunts that entertained up to 80,000 spectators.
The Roman Forum was the political, religious, and commercial heart of ancient Rome. Visitors walk along the Via Sacra among the ruins of ancient temples, basilicas, and triumphal arches reliving the daily life of Roman citizens.
Palatine Hill is the founding core of Rome, the legendary site where Romulus is said to have established the city. It offers the best panoramic views over the entire Roman Forum and Circus Maximus. Travelers can explore the vast ruins of imperial residences and the beautiful Farnese Gardens (Orti Farnesiani).
The Circus Maximus was the massive stadium dedicated to chariot racing. Today, the oval imprint of the arena remains, but its enormous scale, which once accommodated over 250,000 spectators, is clear.

This was a great way to visit the Colosseum. The app was just OK - It did have some glitches and flaws but for the most part, we were able to get some good information while using it. It was easy to find the meeting spot and the people at the meeting point were very helpful in explaining where to go.
Beautiful experience. My kids were very intrigued. Love to see them interested in history. One price for all this was worth it.
Unfortunately it was crowded and hot at the end of July, but this activity delivered! We were running late, the operator emailed the tickets to us and it worked out! We definitely had the opportunity to spend as much time as needed, did not use the app, but enjoyed the Coliseum.
A great experience. The voucher received was easily redeemed with the tour operator, who was super friendly. Although the Colosseum and Forum were quite busy, the timed access was great, ensuring we entered quickly. This option gives you the freedom to explore these sights at your own pace, which is so much better than being part of a tour group.
Unfortunately this was our only option to get in due to all of these tour companies buying up available tickets. What should have been $18 cost more than triple for them to provide you with a sub par app and “video” guide.
It was a dream come true to see this in person and it was more that I could ever imagine.
Tour operator was always incontact with us since our plane arrived late!! Just make sure you download. All the apps before arriving to hear the tour and for sure have a full battery!
Great tour, great guide with the app. Unfortunately, we did not complete the tour because we booked the Colosseum entry for 05/31 at 5:30 PM to avoid the heat, but we did not have time to visit the nearby attraction because it closes at 6:15 PM and THIS WAS NOT COMMUNICATED. The ticket was still valid for 24 hours, unfortunately, the next day we had other visits and could not return.
The lady in the office was lovely and gave us the maps and directions of how to enter the Collesseum. The tour itself was by AI video. I would suggest having these downloaded prior to entering although I was able to get WiFi inside to download them before we started. There are 13 videos in total and there were impersonal and felt history rich for us rather than being an immersive experience. We enjoyed being in the Colesseum but actually gave up on the videos after a while.
Clear info with instructions on how to obtain tickets. Also clear communication in advance by email and SMS. Office is located near Colosseum in quiet street. Very helpful girl. Audio guide goes with own phone with pop-up movies in language of your choice (no NL) Does not work completely problem-free.
