Colosseum Express : Guide + Regular Entry | Small Group
About This Tour
Discover the Colosseum’s regular-access levels with two ways to visit: follow a guided route or enjoy more freedom to explore at your own pace.
Choose the 1-h Guided Tour to enter the Colosseum with your guide and follow a complete guided route through its main levels. It’s the best choice if you want your guide by your side inside the monument, bringing its history and stories to life as you explore.
Choose the 45-minute Intro + Independent Visit for more freedom inside the Colosseum. Your guide will first give you a thorough introduction, bringing the history and highlights to life, then you’ll enter on your own with your included ticket and explore the main levels at your own pace. Unlike a guided visit inside, you won’t be tied to a fixed route or group, so you can move around freely and stay as long as you wish.
Both options include Colosseum access to the main levels and entry to the Roman Forum. Arena, Underground and upper-level access are not included.
