The 15 Best Colosseum Tours & Tickets

764 tours  ·  from $4 a head

Family Travel Fever is an independent family travel site. It is not run by, or connected to, any of the places or ticket offices it writes about.

One ticket covers the Colosseum, the Forum and the Palatine, so the real choice is how you go in: plain entry, a guide, the arena floor or the underground. These 15 sort that out with prices, durations and how each one goes with kids.

Priority entry to the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill with a live guide, headsets, and optional arena access.

“we chose a small group as have difficulties hearing in crowded areas even with the headsets. Turns out it was only my wife and I and it was a spectacular tour with Carolina our guide. She was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic throughout the tour. Simply one of the best tours we have ever had with Crown Tours”

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 24,770 reviews · 1 - 3 hours · from $41

Audio-guided Colosseum, Roman Forum & Palatine Hill with skip-the-line entry and optional arena floor access. Simple pace, big payoff.

“It was great to visit this World Heritage landmark in winter, when it’s far less crowded and queues are much shorter. Entry was easy and relaxed, and the one-way route through the Colosseum was very manageable. We purchased access to the arena floor, which was well worth it as it offers a fantastic vantage point. Had we known it was possible to also purchase access to the underground areas, we would have done so. The audio guide was reasonable, though it was sometimes difficult to align it precisely with where we were in the tour. The Roman Forum was equally impressive, offering wonderful views back toward the Colosseum and across…”
