Family-Friendly Colosseum Tours

The guide refused to wait for me and my group of 7 because we were 10 minutes late and she was very rude about and wouldn't answer my calls when we arrived. Total unprofessional Jerk!

The guide was great! Especially keeping the kids interested in all the history! Well worth it for families!

Buongiorno il ritrovo è alle 7.45 ma in realtà ci vuole ancora circa un'ora per entrare inoltre la descrizione VIP dava idea di avere un tour guidato VIP per poche persone invece eravamo in circa 15 persone e la guida ha fatto una introduzione prima di entrare in cappella sistina e poi si era liberi

We loved our guided tour of the Colosseum and Roman Forum. Maria, the guide, was funny and nice. She also made sure to find shaded areas for us to stand in as much as possible since the day of the tour was extremely hot.

An unforgettable visit to the Colosseum thanks to our guide Said! His explanations were clear, full of anecdotes and very lively. You could tell he knew his subject inside out, and really enjoyed sharing his knowledge. Thanks to him, we discovered the Colosseum from a whole new angle, far beyond what you'd find in the usual guidebooks. Many thanks to Said for this fascinating experience!

Many thanks to our guide Said for this fascinating tour of the Colosseum, the Palatine and the Roman Forum! Thanks to him, history really came to life, even for our 13 and 17 year olds, whom he managed to put on stage! Clear explanations, lively anecdotes and well-judged humor: a real family pleasure. An enriching, fast-paced visit, conducted with passion and kindness. We highly recommend Said, who even recommended a good restaurant at our request!

Super visit, made very interesting by our guide "Saïd" who knew how to captivate us with a lot of annecdote and explanations on these old stones loaded with history, and as we were only 2 couples (French) for this visit we could fully enjoy our visit, even my companion who does not like this kind of activity too much found it very interesting thanks to our guide. Thank you Saïd

The guide, Said, was engaging and very professional. She went well beyond the time of the visit as she understood that we were involved and interested in her explanations. The booking site worked well and the directions to the appointment were also clear and thorough. I will certainly have more experiences with you. Recommended!

The tour guided by SUSANA, was EXCELLENT, for her dedication, her clear answers and with historical value. The whole tour was wonderful despite all the tourists who attended that day (something normal) but I highlight the work of Susana in that all the group observed every detail with valuable information. THANK YOU SUSANA. (group colosseum, palatine and roman forum of 9/6/25 at 11hs.

The experience with our guide, Bárbara, was simply extraordinary. Her in-depth knowledge and friendliness made all the difference on the tour. She is a true born teacher, who talks with passion and a twinkle in her eye about every detail of these monuments that have marked the history of humanity. Barbara not only guided us, but transported us back in time with her rich and engaging explanations. Without a doubt, it was a privilege to have her as a guide - she turned the tour into an unforgettable lesson.

First of all, the guide Eleonora was great at explaining and making the tour enjoyable everything else and meraglioso given what the Romans did

The guide who showed us around did a fantastic job. He showed us the best and most beautiful spots of each monument. He showed a lot of interaction with the audience. He even helped take the pictures; afterwards, he helped me and my friends get a bite to eat nearby. Top experience! As a result, he received a tip from us that was more than deserved!

I was struck by Prof Carmelo Vinciguerra's outstanding preparation as an expert in archaeology and a lover of art and his work so fascinating . Accurate and comprehensive descriptions with continuous insights . He also included for us a visit to the Church of Vismo and Damiani , vetsmente splendid, which was not included. The Colosseum was very exhaustive to us in its use, construction and fall into ruin, between earthquakes and looting. A beautiful expetience! I recommend this guide to everyone. Thank you Dr. Vinciguerra, see you next time! Greetings, Vincenza from Milan. (group of 4 adults)

Tour was originally booked with head out, unfortunately the guide was unable to work so they transferred us to Crown Tour's. They were very professional in their correspondence and provided multiple options including change of date or transfer to another operator. They provided clear instructions via email including new meeting point. On arrival the staff from Crown tours were friendly and professional. Our guide, Damiano was great, very knowledgeable, understanding of the groups needs and fun. The Colosseum was absolutely magnificent.

The guide was super professional. Well informed and very open to questions.

Very good and very nice our guide Fabio

Our guide Susana was very attentive and professional, she made the tour very enjoyable.

Fantastic and amazing

Very kind and good guide Alessi. He tried to make us as comfartable as he can do under 37 C.

The guide was very friendly and well directed throughout the visit, recommended.

Our guide Barbara was excellent and the tour was very interesting.

The listening method was good, and the guide talked about topics that were foreign to me, perhaps lacking time to talk about Julius Caesar, Marcus Aurelius and others, but it was bearable.

THE TOURS WERE VERY ENJOYABLE AND INTERESTING. THE GUIDES KIND,ATTENTIVE AND KNOWLEDGEABLE. WE DID NOT HAVE ANY HICCUPS.

The professionalism of our guide, the explanations given and very attentive to the needs of the clients. An enjoyable tour , full of information and pitted many curiosities

Saïd was a really great guide, telling the story with just the right amount of humor to keep everyone interested.

Tot perfecte i la nostra guia Patri molt amable, amb gran coneixements i ens ha fet passar el tour d'unq manera molt interessant

Juan Miguel Ortiz is an incredible guide. He knows a lot about history and conveys it in an impressive way. The best part of the tour was his ability to tell the story in such an interesting way.

Hello everyone, It was a very nice, informative tour. The guide was very nice and knowledgeable. It was a bit difficult for me personally to understand, I missed 15-20% because of the pronunciation.

My 13 year old daughter and I love Roman history and our guide made it come to life. Despite searing July heat, it was truly an amazing experience that we both would wholeheartedly recommend.

Brazilian from Garça, SP, visiting the Colosseum inside in July 2025, the guide spoke Spanish, it was easy to understand, bring a bottle of water and a hat and come with sneakers and shorts.

All very well. Bianca was very charming. No lack of explanations and details of each site. Even with the extreme heat. For my part I would repeat with her.

Our historian and guide, Mircea, was exceptional. Knowledgeable, personable, and so accommodating. Both the tour and our guide exceeded our expectations!

This was a wonderful tour! It was very hot and our guide made sure to take good care of us. We learned so much and got to see everything we hoped to.

The monument was impressive and Said was all the "money" giving us so many detailed information that will never forget ! Strongly recommended

Seeing the Colosseum for the first time was a wow moment. But getting inside was just amazing and with the full experience of being taken around by our knowledgeable tour guide from Inside Out Italy made it quite special. The highlight was of course seeing the whole of the Colosseum from the arena floor but we also got taken up and round different floors and seeing it from different angles. Then after the Colosseum you're taken across to the Roman Hill and Paletine. So all in all it was what I would call a thorough tour the only bit we didn't see up close was the underground part of the Colosseum but you get to see the central underground section from the arena floor anyway. Well worth doing.

Visiting the Colosseum, or "Coliseu" as it's known in Portuguese, is an absolutely breathtaking experience that transports you back to the heart of ancient Rome. Standing within those colossal ruins, you can almost hear the roar of the crowds and imagine the gladiatorial contests that once took place on the arena floor. The sheer scale of Roman engineering is awe-inspiring, and exploring the intricate levels, from the underground hypogeum where animals and gladiators awaited their fate, to the upper tiers offering panoramic views of the entire amphitheater, truly brings history to life. The company that organized this tour did an exceptional job, handling every detail to ensure a smooth and enriching visit and helping to find the correct place. A special mention must go to our tour guide, Simona, whose passion and knowledge truly brought the Colosseum to life. She expertly navigated us through its storied past, pointing out fascinating details and sharing captivating histories that made the ancient stones speak volumes. It's a powerful reminder of the grandeur and complexity of a civilization that shaped so much of the world.

Our guide, Diego, was great! He was knowledgeable, friendly, intelligent, funny and loves telling the history of his birthplace. This tour has a lot to cover in 3 hours so if you're not a fast walker/stair climber there might be better choices for you. The only downside was that we got instructions to meet in 1 location only to get there on time and be told we needed to go to a different address- for folks without internet this could be difficult. It wasn't far but was across streets, through construction, and down an alley- could have told us to meet there from the beginning.

The highlight of my visit was our guide Bruno was the best, he is an archaeologist and explained very clearly. Fantastic

I don't think I could have done this tour on my own. So much to see & learn in this tour, deeply enriched in history. Our guide explained so much in the time we were with her, & her ability to be patient & direct us around the huge crowds & other tour groups was well done. Thank you for an amazing tour & the opportunity to walk away with so much knowledge & many photos

We came to Rome for the first time at the end of April and this visit to the Colosseum and the Roman Forum was a must. The tour was incredible from start to finish. It was a first for us to hire a guide, and we have no regrets! Simone is a very interesting guide, with a great sense of humor. We loved it and highly recommend this tour and this guide. Many thanks to her!

The tour was very interesting and well organized. A 2.5-hour guided tour of the Forum, Mount Palatine and the Colosseum - a great, informative experience!

Guide was very good

Grandiose !!! Magnifique rien à ajouter il faut le faire !!!

Everything was well orginised. The tour guide was great and had non stop information and history all through the tour.

Claudia our guide was very knowledgeable and a fabulous guide

Very crowded however this is to be expected, our guide was really insightful and helpful. She did a fantastic job.

I loved the experience as the guide was very friendly and approachable. Good organization in general.

No problem, everything went well

Crowded our guide John had so much knowledge and history was if we were reliving what it's like!!

Georgia did a fantastic job of guiding us through the Colosseum! Extensive details and many pictures to support her explanations. Great way to spend an afternoon.

The tour was fabulous. The tour guide, Victoria, was friendly and very knowledgeable, making our tour very educational. The area was very busy but due to the pre-booked tickets we bypassed all the queues. The tour was expensive and took in the colusseum, the Palestine Hill and the Forum. The tour was approximately 3 hours long. There were toilet stops and plenty of photo taking opportunities. The tour was conducted in English and had a radio set to ensure you could hear the guide at all times. The tour required moderate mobility with a number of steps being involved but generally was easy to manage and inside the colusseum there was an elevator. I can't recommend this tour enough.

our guide was amazing, her knowledge and enthusiasm for Roman history was infectious. I'd recommend this to anyone, we would never have seen so much in the time we had.

Brilliantly organised. Our guide was friendly, easy to understand, very knowledgeable and ever so kind and considerate - especially with the heat. Loved the tour and would highly recommend going as a small group.

Lorenzo the guide was simply outstanding

There was no one there, waited for hours and therefore would like my money back. Thanks
