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.

“Easy entrance that avoided a huge line. The Colosseum itself is massive, and the fact that after 2000 years that any of it is still standing is a testament to the engineering and construction quality. Especially since it only took 8 years to build! A must see - no wonder it is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World!!!!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 25 reviews · 2 to 3 hours (approx.) · from $66

Small-group arena access at the Colosseum plus Roman Forum and Palatine. Skip the ticket line, use a phone audio guide.

“Why can't the tickets be sent to my app, why did I have to go half a mile past the Colosseum just to redeem tickets that were then sent to my phone anyway? It is a very convoluted way of doing things and due to running late, it was a very stressful start to the visit and took some of the pleasure of seeing such a magnificent landmark away from the experience. I downloaded the Viator app as I thought I would just receive tickets to my phone but that is not the case with the trips I booked, it is very confusing and frustrating.”
