Meeting point at: Colle Oppio Park - Via delle Terme di Tito, corner of Via Nicola Salvi, inside the park - 15 minutes before the start of your tour (please look for the I Love Rome logo carried by our staff).
Step into the heart of ancient Rome! The Colosseum, once called the Amphitheatrum Flavium, stands as the world's largest amphitheater. Marvel at this iconic symbol of Rome, where gladiators once battled, and feel the echoes of history under your feet. The visit includes a tour to the first and second rings of the amphitheatre.
Wander through the Roman Forum, a magnificent sprawl of ruins nestled between Piazza Venezia and the Colosseum. As you journey along the Via dei Fori Imperiali, you'll traverse the heart of an ancient empire, witnessing the splendor of what was once the most important archaeological complex in the world.
Ascend the historic Palatine Hill, the most central of Rome's seven hills. Standing 40 meters high above the Roman Forum, it whispers tales of ancient legends. Believed to be inhabited since 1000 BC, the Palatine Hill is said to be where Romulus, the founder of Rome, was raised by a she-wolf.
Embark on an artistic pilgrimage to the Vatican Museums, an awe-inspiring expanse within the Vatican City. Established by Pope Julius II in the 16th century, this intricate maze is home to some of the world's most revered art collections. From the divine frescoes of the Sistine Chapel by Michelangelo to the ornate papal apartments adorned by Raphael, this journey offers a feast for the senses.
Conclude your tour with a visit to the awe-inspiring Sistine Chapel, a crown jewel of Vatican artistry. As you stand beneath the breathtaking ceiling painted by Michelangelo, allow its stories to wash over you. Please note: While our knowledgeable guide will provide intricate insights from the outside, remember that speaking is not permitted within the chapel to maintain its sanctity and reverence. Let the silent beauty speak for itself.
Note: Explanation provided from outside. Following the information, guests will be given free time to explore at their own pace.
Excellent tour bus that covered major sites . The service was regular and reliable and there weren’t massive queues or overcrowding on the buses unlike some of the other operators
Luca was magnificent. Passionate about his work and this really came over to us. I found it inspiring to listen to him. His knowledge was second to none and he loved answering questions. Thank you Luca!
Miracle was amazing. His knowledge was great and his delivery was simple for ya to understand. Easily answered all questions. Five star
Day 1 to collesium and P.Hill with Serena was excellent. We were the first tour which is highly recommended as not too busy. Serena was very knowledgeable and gave helpful tips on what to look for. Day 2 tour was to Vatican City and Sistene Chapel. This ran over by half an hour and was very congested and hot. Whilst the guide Alexandra was very knowledgeable there was way too much info which didn’t allow time to look around you with too much focus on her favourites.
This tour was a big waste of money. They don't have enough buses, so each stop takes a long time to load/unload, and if you aren't lucky enough to get a seat up top then you're stuck I. The stuffy non-air conditioned bottom. The stops are very far apart. We waited nearly half an hour for a bus and counted 4 of a competitor service ("Big Bus") go by. In the end we just walked. Also the kids had trouble getting the audio commentary to work--some of the audio jacks might need maintenance. Your mileage may vary. Oh yeah, and now we have some e-waste cheap ear buds to get rid of. We saw more than one pair on the ground during our walks.
Fantastico! Alessandra Flag 127 made it so animated and interesting with funny stories, picking out the characters from our group. Fully enjoyed the experience. Grazie mille, Alessandra, for making our tour Così bello! Go early!!
Emanuel #155 was awesome and very knowledgeable. He made the tour fun with stories , myths, and history ! Learned so much!
We went with Emanuelle 155 was amazing loved it very informative good amount of time
The upside is the commentary is timely and easy to hear even for someone with a hearing difficulty. Although the "music" played between her comments is awful and the same for the entire 90mins. Please put something classical behind it or nothing at all. The downsides. The buses are filthy Looks like they haven't been cleaned since Caesar. The backs of the seats in front, the handrails even the floor. They prob get no more than a sweep out at night. Rome traffic is horrendous but the driver would allow the bus to creep forward then "stab" the brakes constantly throwing me forward and then back. Now my back is sore!
The tour was informative and well paced.
Excellent tour. Roberta was amazing.
Vatican part of the trip was excellent. A bit hard to hear the guide with only one ear plug and all the background noise in an enclosed space. Rita was very informative with a great sense of humour. Too much standing around in one spot listening to way too much information at the Colesseum before we even got into the building made this part more of the tour less enjoyable.
It was very informative great access with an informed guide. Lots of walking.
We had a great tour with Christina #12. Her knowledge and passion for the history was amazing. She went at our pace and accommodated our groups questions and needs.

Roberta was wonderful. So knowledgable and experienced. Would 100% recommend
I was on the spanish tour guided by Carolina, who gave us a lot of knowledge, detailed history, and managed to convey the whole reality of the Colosseum and Palatine Museum with great emotion! She explain the entire guide like a real movie, for this I congratulate her passion and all the joy she put from work, it was amazing !! From Chile we thank you a thousand times!
You have to be at the meeting point 15 minutes before your reserved schedule time. However, you will leave from the meeting point 15 minutes before after your reserved visit time. In the, end there’s no use asking the participants to be ahead on time when the tour guide itself can’t make it on time.
We had a wonderful time and would whole heartedly recommend taking a tour with Alessandra (#11). She was excellent! Thank you for a wonderful experience!!
Buying the ticket was totally the right choice! The queue was insanely long when we arrived, but with the fast-access ticket we cruised straight through. Our guide, Donatello, was great—very knowledgeable and explained the history in a way that was easy to understand. Definitely recommend getting a guided tour, it saves a lot of time and hassle. 👍
Very good experience. Just booking.com should inform that the ticket need to be opened by your email. If u dont u would not be able to go inside
Fantastic guide very informative made the whole Colosseum come to life, had a great sense of humour. She was a lady from Tokyo who had lived in Italy for 35 years top class guide
Maria was great she was very friendly and helpful she was nice and has answers for everyone ahe was amazing loved her job thanks!
It was an informative tour and our guide, Roberta was very knowledgeable and kind. She was attentive and helpful. Our family enjoyed the tour.
Unfortunately Vatican tour guide called in sick, so no tour. The Colosdeum tour was amaxing!!! Our guide was the best. He knew his history. Thank you Luca!!!!!!
Rita was exceptional. She was lovely, friendly, and so knowledgeable. The Vatican City is not to be missed. The small group tour is the way to go. GRAZIE!
Wow!! We had a lovely day with Christina at the coliseum!! She was so knowledgeable and super fun! She was great at adapting the tour for our group. I was traveling with my elderly grandmother, and she took great care of us! We very much enjoyed the day! 10/10 great value for money, and great overall day! I will definitely be coming back, thank you Christina!
Alessandro was amazing! All conducted at a perfect pace. Very knowledgeable and informative and made the experience great for us all thank you! Best tour guide in Rome!
Today we enjoyed our Vatican Tour with Rita. It is our first time in Rome. She is an excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable, explains everything well and very friendly We highly recommend this tour.
Very informative, so much details by Fabio gentle and kind to all made it a pleasant day. I would recommend this to all especially Fabio
Amazing guide & experience. Very knowledgeable about history. Will definitely take this tour again in the future. Thank you!
Our tour guide Rita was friendly, knowledgeable and entertaining. She made the tour extremely enjoyable. We would highly recommend taking this tour.
Fulfilled one of my oldest dreams witnessing the coliseum, so much history and knowledge. The experience felt so surreal
Rita took us on a wonderful Vatican tour, sharing wonderful stories and explanations of everything. Thank you for a great tour!
These are both amazing structures & you don't realize the complexity of it from the outside. This was rescheduled & did the Vatican on a separate day which worked really well as the Colosseum was hard on the feet. Guide communications failed towards the end of the Colosseum Tour which I think frustrated the guide a little. Vatican guide was great & she was very informative & helpful. Crowds were large in both locations.
Had a tour of the Colosseum and the Roman forum . Absolutely amazing. This has been on my bucket list for a few years and now has a big tick next to it . The knowledge the tour guide Julia had was incredible
Emanuel was our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and friendly! The tour was very nice. I would recommend for people comfortable walking up stairs.
This was a very affordable and great way to see Roma! The text support was very helpful in guiding me to find my pick up point. My only wish was to get the recording of all the history that was shared. Thank you Gray Line!
You would be depriving yourself of an amazing experience if you didn’t take this Tour with Fabio. Fabio has you living the Colosseum as if you have travelled back in time. He provides before and after photos of all the attractions to enable you to get the full experience of what it was like back then. His knowledge is bottomless and accurate. Such a pleasure to have met you Fabio, you were awesome! 10 out of 10!
I travelled with my 3 kids. It was a special offer in Klook and I must say that it was a very nice purchase. The audioguide was excellent. The bus was punctual and clean. The staff were also helpful.
really liked it, very interesting. My tour lasted 3 hours, really liked the experience . Will recommend it forward ……..
We toured the Colosseum in the morning with our guide Alex who was fantastic. She was extremely knowledgeable and made the tour so interesting. Despite the crowds we were able to negotiate the Colosseum and Roman Forum with relative ease. Alex was also very helpful and thoughtful helping us with transport to Vatican tour. Vatican tour guide Rosa was also extremely knowledgeable and went out of her way to explain details. The tour was well organised and very enjoyable. Note: lots of walking involved so not recommended for those with limited mobility.
All was amazing, the guide was good she explain us all the history Hcycycuvuvu ji vi u b o obvguhihibibibibvuvuvu iihihibib
The views were amazing and our guide Alex was amazing too she was so knowledgeable about everything And took us to the best parts for great photos!!! Thanks again Alex for a once in a lifetime experience 😎
Lina was amazing! Friendly, knowledgeable and made sure we had lots of breaks during the heat. Really enjoyed seeing the stadium as well as learning about Roman history. Make sure to take lots of water.
Loretta was an amazing guide!! We had a wonderful day - would highly recommend as a great way to see the hot spots. Would recommend
Excellent guide Lila. Definitely do the 8:15 tour to beat the crowd and heat. She was very knowledgeable on the history of the entire tour and took her time to explain things well.
Amazing experience with Alessandra #11. Took us to all the highlights and gave us pretty amazing facts! knowledgeable!! !!
This tour was perfect for what our group wanted to do. Our tour guide Rita was fantastic, she was able to provide insights and information that enhanced the whole experience. Despite the extremely hot weather, Rita found opportunities for shade/water/rest whilst also providing in depth information about the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill. The skip the line was extremely helpful and I would recommend this to anyone who is travelling during peak travel season like us. If you are not sure whether a tour is worth your money it 100% is. The insights we gained could not have been achieved by simply viewing the sights yourself.
We enjoy the time with our tour guide. She is very pleasant. We have a great time. We will highly recommend her.
