No need to wait in line. Of course, do not go in summer, the heat is unbearable and you do not enjoy the visit. And if you can take a guide to tell you the story better because otherwise you only see stones.

Long and interesting tour, Colosseum, Palatine and fori are a place where time stands still and despite the many tourists you can stop in the shade to imagine the 'empire and rest.

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!

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 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!

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.

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

Honestly, bypassing the chaos. We saved so much time and our tour guide was wonderful. Highly recommend. Bonus: The tickets include entrance to the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill. So we enjoyed that after taking a break for lunch.
