The Colosseum is a must-see when exploring Rome, and there’s no better way to make your visit special than by waiting for the gates to close, the sun to set, the air to cool, and twilight to paint the amphitheater in golden light.
On this VIP tour, you’ll enjoy access to restricted areas, including the partially reconstructed Arena Floor and admire the most recent discovery of graffiti dating back to Late Middle Ages. All without the usual crowds, noise and heat of a daytime visit.

Departure Point
Via dei Fori Imperiali, 00187 Roma RM, Italy
The tour starts on the platform directly in front of Trajan’s Column: located on Via dei Fori Imperiali near Piazza Venezia. Standing right in front and facing the Victor Emmanuel II Monument, it’s directly to the left across the street. The guide will be waiting there wearing a blue polo shirt.
Colonna Traiana, Rome, Italy Our tour starts with Trajan’s Column where you’ll pass through Via dei Fori Imperiali overlooking the Roman Forum (closed at this hour), the civic historical centre. Home to the bustling marketplace, ruled by moneylenders and shopkeepers, this was Rome at its finest. Here politicians held rallies before elections, soldiers marched triumphantly down the Via Sacra, and the Vestal Virgins decided if men lived or died. 20 minutes
Roman Forum, Rome, Italy See a spectacular view of the Roman Forum (from outside). Even the ancient Romans rarely saw the Colosseum like this: empty, peaceful, and cool. But away from the crowds, and with your guide on hand to fill in any details, it’s easy to imagine the arena as it once was. 15 minutes
Colosseum, Rome, Italy As that empire expanded, so did the Colosseum’s repertoire. The Arena Floor filled with combatants, creatures and recreations of tales from far-flung places. Not only will you get to enter the Colosseum after it closes to the public, you’ll enjoy access to restricted areas, including the Arena Floor itself.
With the amphitheater lit up like the grand stadium it once was, and without the usual daytime crowd, you’ll have the chance to capture some truly amazing photos. See the Colosseum through the eyes of both gladiators and spectators and admire the most recent discovery of graffiti representing people’s names, dates, sacred and profane symbols illustrating stories about people who lived, worked and hung out at Colosseum. 80 minutes

Amazing experience seeing the Colosseum at night! We were the last group to tour and it was magical being there almost alone. Would love to do it again!

It was a little hard to find the meeting spot because of all the construction going on but eventually we found the guide.
Carlos did a great job!
Despite there being VERY loud protesters outside the Coliseum and noisy helicopters, monitoring the protesters, directly above us and a ticket issue for someone in our group which caused a slight delay, Carlos did his very best to find quiet spots for us to hear and he made it very interesting.
Word of caution: when you book make sure the name on the ticket matches exactly the name on your ID, which you must show to get into the Coliseum or they will not let you in.

Great tour though I thought we would be doing the underground and it does not include this part of the tour. Our guide was friendly, knowledgable.
