Itinerary
With your audio guide playing, step through the same entrances gladiators and spectators used nearly 2,000 years ago. As you make your way through the ancient corridors and tiered seating, your narration explains how this massive amphitheater was built, how it functioned during a single day of games, and the dramatic spectacles it once hosted — from gladiatorial combat to mock naval battles. You'll learn about the emperors who funded and expanded it, the ingenious systems used to move animals and fighters up into the arena, and how the Colosseum fell into ruin and was later rediscovered. Listen at your own pace as you explore the different levels and take in views across the arena floor.
Walk the Via Sacra — the very road ancient Romans used for triumphal processions — while your audio guide narrates the stories behind the temples, arches, and government buildings that once made this the political and religious center of the empire. You'll hear about the Arch of Titus and the events it commemorates, the ruins of the Basilica of Maxentius, the Temple of Saturn where Rome's treasury was once housed, and the Arch of Septimius Severus. Your guide brings context to what would otherwise be scattered ruins, explaining how senators, emperors, and citizens used this space and how it shaped the course of Roman history.
Climb to the legendary birthplace of Rome, where your audio guide reveals why this hill — according to myth, the very spot where Romulus and Remus were raised — became the most prestigious address in the ancient world. As you wander among the ruins of imperial palaces, including the sprawling Domus Augustana, your narration explains how Rome's emperors lived, ruled, and entertained from this commanding position above the city. You'll hear the layered history of the hill, from humble early settlements to opulent imperial residences, before reaching the Farnese Gardens for one of the best panoramic views in Rome — overlooking the Forum on one side and the city skyline on the other. Take your time here; there's no rush to move on to the next stop.

It was a self guided tour. The companion app didnt work most of the time. It didnt pick up the markers for audio guidance. The person arranging the tickets was nice and made sure I had everything I need to get on the tour.
Excellent customer service, got tickets on time, they guided very well and we didn't face any difficulties
I was able to obtain last minute tickets, Although the process of acquiring the tickets was a little unconventional- the process was worth it !
Wonderfull experience. The whole trip was enjoyable
I had a really good experience with reasonable fee, good customer service, tickets were provided on Time and auto guide was very fair
Difficult and complicated. This tour operator is not your typical company where you purchase the tour, show up and there is someone there with a sign waiting to issue your tickets. I purchased the tour on Viator, paid for it and received instructions to meet a man in front of a restaurant near the Coliseum. Once I located the man, I had to do a series of downloads, then he purchased the "actual" tickets using his company credit card. I was very nervous, not understanding what I had actually purchased through Viator. His english was poor so he could not explain what exactly the process was. I would not book through this vendor again,
We already had the electronic ticketings but was told to go to the redemption location. Very confusing and a waste of 1/2 hour until sorted out. Plus, entrance to go in wasn’t easily marked so we needed to search. In addition the ticket prices went up in price quickly which wasn’t nice for a repeat costumer.
I was absolutely sure this was a scam. But it worked. It was the only way we could get into the Colosseum on our timetable on short notice. Look, the audio app is not great. I think it’s rated 1 1/2 stars out of 5. But we got in!
The only positive of this tour is that we were able to buy it on short notice (the day before) when all other tours were sold out. The initial confirmation of our purchase indicated TWO different addresses where we needed to meet the operator to exchange vouchers for our actual tickets, and then the operator gave me a THIRD location (Cafe Roma) when I happened to message them the evening before for clarification. In person transfer of tickets/passes to our phones, or at the very least being told to download the TWO required apps in advance, could have been done electronically in advance, avoiding the need to find the resellers at the top of the stairs near Cafe Roma. The operator did not initially give us a link to the audio tour app, so we had to make yet another trip up the stairs to find them at Cafe Roma. The app that they provided was very poor with only 6 stops, confusing navigation to those stops, and short and only minimally informative narrative at each stop. We gave up on that app and instead purchased the VoiceMap audio tour which was much better with about 2 dozen stops, excellent navigation, and very informative and interesting narration.
Super weird experience. You’re basically paying a ticket reseller extra $$ if you weren’t able to book entry online in advance. We had to download a Roma Pass app and enter the ticket reseller’s credit card info. They also had us meet them over an hour before our entry time, so we were just hanging around in one of the busiest parts of town for a lot longer than necessary. It was bizarre. But at least we got in.
I had a wonderful experience and tour guiders were nice.
We had a great experience! The tickets were provided on time, and the whole trip was really informative and enjoyable. We learned so many new things and discovered details we wouldn’t have known otherwise. And it was definitely worth it. Highly recommended!

brought the ticket for colosseum online , booking was confirmed i received the pdf ticket by mail and by whatsapp.
Good experience with Amazing Italy Tours. They provided helpful assistance sent the tickets on time and made the tour easy to manage. The digital audio guide was also useful for learning about the Colosseum during the visit. Overall a smooth and well organized experience.
It was an amazing experience, to learn the history of one of the seven wonders of the world from professional guides
Recommended ***** We really Enjoyed Colosseum .
It was really good trip i really enjoyed that and i think everyone should go and have experience of this trip
An astonishing swindle. Makes you seem like you're getting tickets and even has ticks next to the most important questions such as access to the main sites. Then you pay and someone tells you that alas, no tickets. Just an audio guide.
Due to lack of communication and changes, I had to take the tour alone with my family, I do not recommend anyone to hire this resource for knowledge, it is better to look for another company, zero stars 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
We ended up not using the audio guide, but the tour was very worthwhile. It was more expensive than the official website, but since it was sold out, we ended up opting for this one. No problems receiving the ticket and entering the coliseum.
That's great! The Colosseum is breathtaking, and the Palatine Hill is the best place to overlook the Roman Forum. Audio guide applications make the journey much more exciting than just walking around. Tip: Download the app before you leave, and bring headphones and water. Highly recommended!
The activity listing was very misleading, it said it included admission and that was not the case, I had to buy the tickets separately at the official box office and there was no availability even though I would have wanted to pay again for something that I supposedly had already booked
