CoupleVerified booking3 weeks ago5/5The Colosseum is an amazing sight full of wonder and history. Our tour included access to both the upper and lower levels, accompanied by an audio tour guide as well. The tour also allows an in depth view of the history of Troy, leading to the founding of Rome itself. If you had a couple of hours to spare during your stay in Rome, PLEASE visit the Colosseum and immerse yourself in one of the worlds most famous landmarks!VValache V

I am grateful to you and thank you once again for your generosity and kindness! Even though it was very hot!KKaren V
CoupleVerified bookingLast week5/5To see the colosseum as you turn a corner on a street is an absolutely unbelievable sight. To go in the colosseum is something I cannot describe. You need to be there to understand. When your standing inside it, it roots you to the spot. It's been a week since I visited and im still in awe.IIsmael P
FamilyVerified bookingJul 20265/5The ticket-buying process was really thorough. I want to add that trying to get tickets online was a nightmare—they were all sold out—but this part gets a 10/10 from me. We had trouble downloading the audio guide, but I can't say for sure if it was due to poor reception at the venue or the download page.CCarolina M

You can join the tour at any stop and hop on and off for the duration of your ticket.
Colosseum, Palatine Hill & Roman Forum
Hop off at stop #3 and head to the Colosseum, where gladiators once battled for glory in the grandest arena of ancient Rome. Your ticket also includes Palatine Hill, the legendary birthplace of Rome, and the Roman Forum, where temples, arches, and political ruins tell stories of a bygone empire – all offering a fascinating walk through history.
Pantheon
The Pantheon, once a temple for all gods, now stands as a masterpiece of ancient engineering and Renaissance influence. Just a little off stop #5 on the Red route, you’ll find the Pantheon, standing tall with an enormous dome with an opening at its peak known as the oculus, that covers the marble work of this Roman temple-turned-Catholic church in natural light. Inside, find sunken panels, royal tombs, and Raphael’s resting place, all steeped in centuries of history.
Castel Sant’Angelo
Take the Red route on the bus tour and hop off at stop #6 to visit Castel Sant’Angelo. Built as Emperor Hadrian’s tomb, the landmark later became a fortress, papal hideout, and now a museum. Wander its five floors, from eerie prison cells to opulent papal rooms, and explore its vast collection of ancient weaponry. End your visit on the rooftop terrace with breathtaking panoramic views of Rome.
