Things to do in Colosseum

Our tour guide, Elena was very informative and passionate about sharing the history/ stories of the places we visited. The tour went on smoothly and fuss- free. Despite the crowd, it was an enjoyable experience!

I arrived about 30 minutes early and waited, but since others had written in reviews that they wouldn't let you in until the last minute, I took pictures and killed time around the area. However, when I went back 10 minutes before the start, I was able to get in smoothly without waiting! It didn't seem like they were particularly strict about the timing. I think it's convenient to print out your ticket and keep it handy, but mobile tickets on your phone are also perfectly fine!

Great tour, Favio was such an amazing tour guide, full of stories and very knowledgeable. The only thing is the meeting spot can be a bit confusing, we got lost but did managed to turn up just in time. Otherwise, enjoyable tour.

Looking up at the ceiling from inside the building, it feels so grand and enormous, as if you could be drawn into it. Sunlight streams in through the hole in the ceiling, and I imagine the way it illuminates different spots changes with the time of day, creating a unique atmosphere each hour. It's so magnificent that I can understand why this building has remained perfectly intact without collapsing.

This tour is worth booking. Our guide, Giorgio, was a wonderful guide. He gave us lots of stories, showed us how everything looked during the old Roman times. He explained every detail of the Roman Forum, the Palatine Hill and the Colosseum while being patient enough to answer the questions of our groupmates. Check-in for the tour was done fast and smoothly too.

We enjoyed the guided tour of the Colosseum which allowed us to understand its history, culture and functions so much better than we would have if we had gone without a guide. highly recommend getting a guide to get the best experience when visiting the Colosseum. The only issue was a slight confusion due to the tour company's (Towns of Italy) automated message system which told us to assemble at 3pm at a different location when we were supposed to meet directly at the Colosseum at 4.45pm.

Easy to redeem just use the qr code in the voucher given. No need to meet up or validate whatsoever or print out voucher. Luckily during our time there was no queue.

We had a fantastic experience on the Rome Night Walk with Carpe Diem. Our guide, Dan, was extremely knowledgeable and shared fascinating information about Rome’s monuments, history, and famous landmarks throughout the tour. He made the experience both informative and engaging. Dan also provided excellent food recommendations and shared useful links to restaurants and local spots to visit, which was especially helpful for the rest of our stay in Rome. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Rome. If you’re planning a multi-day trip, doing this tour on your first day is a great idea, as it helps you get oriented and discover places you may want to revisit later. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and a great introduction to the city.
