Highlights
  • Colosseum - The Colosseum in Rome, also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre, is the most iconic ancient structure of the city, completed in AD 80. It was used for gladiatorial contests, public spectacles, and events such as animal hunts and executions. Oval in shape, it could hold up to 80,000 spectators. Its architectural grandeur and historical significance make it a symbol of ancient Roman engineering and culture. This testament to Rome’s rich history is yours to visit at your own pace with your reserved entrance and audioguide. Take your time discovering this symbol of Roman culture from top to bottom at your own pace.
  • Via Sacra - The Via Sacra, or “Sacred Road,” was the main street of ancient Rome, running through the Roman Forum. It was a significant thoroughfare for religious and triumphal processions, connecting key temples and public spaces. Starting at the Capitoline Hill, it passed by important landmarks such as the Arch of Titus and the Temple of Vesta. The Via Sacra was central to public life in ancient Rome, serving as a path for ceremonies and a bustling hub of activity. Today, it remains a notable archaeological site, reflecting the grandeur of Rome’s past. Walk on it as you leave the Colosseum to reach the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill
  • Roman Forum - The Roman Forum is a must-visit in Rome because it offers a captivating glimpse into the heart of ancient Roman civilization. Once the center of political, religious, and social life, it is home to iconic ruins such as the Temple of Saturn, the Arch of Septimius Severus, and the House of the Vestals. Walking through the Forum will allow you to experience the grandeur and complexity of Roman architecture, culture, and history. It will provide you a tangible connection to the events and figures that shaped the ancient world, making it an essential stop for any history enthusiast.
  • Palatine Hill - Palatine Hill is a crucial destination in Rome due to its historical and archaeological significance. As one of the city’s seven hills, it is traditionally considered the birthplace of Rome, where Romulus is said to have founded the city. The hill is home to extensive ruins of ancient palaces, including the Domus Augustana and the House of Livia, which reflect the opulence of Roman imperial life. Offering panoramic views of the Roman Forum and the Circus Maximus, the Palatine Hill provides a serene and evocative glimpse into Rome’s ancient past, making it a must-see to finish your exploration of the Ancient Rome!

Great customer service and great self guided tour. - We had a great time at the Colosseum. It is a lot of walking while inside with a ton of steps, there is a lift for people with special needs though. The meet up was exactly where the pin was sent to us on the invite and the personnel’s company was clearly marked on their shirts. The young lady that provided the tickets to us was very professional explained in detail where we needed to go and showed us how to use the app. We were also able to get our tickets early, however the gate personnel will not let you in early at all so be prepared to wait until the exact time of your ticket.

A great way to see the site - A great tour with a very knowledgeable guide who spoke clear and understandable English. Meeting place was a bit hard to find due to construction.

Beautiful - If you’re a history buff this site would be great to immerse yourself in fully, however if you are like me who just loves looking and admiring the historic structures while listening to a podcast about its history then just walking on the perimeter of the collosseum in the evening is more than enough. It was packed with tourist in the glaring heat during the day but in the evening it’s so much more chill and enjoyable to explore the outside perimeter and bask in its lit up beauty. It’s a beautiful place to look at in its lit up glory in the evening so I highly recommend going to it in the evening or night.

Fun day tour - This tour is for you to enjoy at your own pace which is perfect for us as we don’t like going with a group and not being able to enjoy seeing things much. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Only thing was we didn’t know the audio was an app on your phone rather than a handheld one and so didn’t bring our own AirPods to listen to. Would have been better with the audio during our tour but overall it was good. The places are amazing, except for the heat! Brutally hot.

Dont book via tripadvisor! - Dont book via tripadvisor, you're better off going and getting the ticket on the day. I didnt get what I ordered due to a system issue, then only got a approx 23% refund. I will never use your services again.

Do Not Recommend - It’s not escorted entrance, and you have to coordinate with a group of strangers to get in. Basically, there’s one ticket that’s good for however many people are in your group. You all have to stay together to get into the Colosseum, and then you have to pick up a meeting point and a time for you all to get back together so you can get into the Roman Forum together. No one escorts you in. We only bought these tickets because we could no longer buy tickets through the official website. If tickets are still available through the official website, definitely go that route.

Scam with arena entrance - I bought these tickets with additional entrance to arena floor, but got tickets for arena floor entrance only. When I asked about it to City Wonders personal they said that they don't know anything about it. But also didn't offer any assistance or way to get our original tickets or refund. Since we weren't the only ones with this problem (we met multiple people who had the same issue with City Wonders), it seems like a scam. Also when you buy the tickets there's information that there will be guided entrance in to Colosseum (not a guided tour but just guided entrance) and there's nothing of that. Highly NOT-recomended
