WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Arch of Constantine
Join us to pick up your tickets 15 minutes prior to the scheduled time, next at the ARCH OF CONSTANTINE (the short side overlooking the colosseum-look for a BLACK FLAG), the largest triumphal arch ever built in Rome located between the Palatine Hill and the Colosseum. The arch was erected in 315 to commemorate Constantine, the first Christian emperor of the Roman history.
2. Colosseum
You will be added to a small group (max 30) with a privileged skip-the-line entrance and, after the entry procedures and the mandatory security checks, you will be free to explore the Colosseum by yourself. The Colosseum, the symbol of Ancient Rome, is the biggest Roman amphitheatre for gladiator games ever built, the most well-preserved one and one of the most visited monument in the world. Definitely a must see!
3. Palatine Hill
After the visit to the Colosseum, you will be escorted to the entrance of Palatine Hill/Roman Forum and you can explore both sites by yourself. According to the legend, the Palatine Hill is the place where Rome was founded by Romolus thousands of years ago. This green area is full of ancient temples and houses and it hosts the magnificent residences of the Roman emperors. It is a true open-air museum!
4. Roman Forum
After the visit to the Colosseum, The Roman Forum, the heart of the Roman Republic where all the public activities took place, is he most suggestive space from Roman times. A lot of temples, houses and other magnificent buildings like basilicas are still well-preserved and visible: enjoy to walk along Roman roads through their colums, like a true Roman citizen!

The colosseums round walk is quite unorganized, the signs give you very little
instruction and the crowd is just chaotic. Also you can skip the line by just buying the ticket on the official website, which is waaaay cheaper than any of the tickets in trip advisor!

We booked this tour weeks in advance. Our time was 2pm. The tour operator knew one of our tickets did not show our name but the tour companies name so we could not use the ticket. Instead of contacting us first thing that day, they told us 10 min prior to our time. The company refunded our money but it was too late to purchase tickets on site. We only had this one day to see the colusseum prior to returning to the US. Very unprofessional.

Paid extra for VIP floor tickets.
Arrived early for our scheduled time to find out from our organizers that the time slot was unavailable and we would have to return later. Then when we got in we were informed that we were only given regular tickets not floor access.
Quite annoying. We were refunded the vip premium but didn’t get the access we wanted.

We got it in the Colosseum.
Other than that, there wasn’t much positive about the experience, because it was unorganized chaos from the start. There were no “skipping the lines”, just additional waiting to the Colosseum, the Palatine and the forum.

Trip was changed at the last minute missing the part that we had paid extra for, so we ended up paying £115 for a 46 euro trip… communication was very poor to try and sort it out

Didn’t use audio guide.. wasn’t offered one.. disappointing … it was adequate , very busy but disappointing we didn’t get into dungeons.. a bit of a virtual experience would have been great, like in other countries
