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

Beware! I tried to cancel a booking because of a strike in Italy delayed my travel and missed the window by three hours and they wouldn't refund the $750 I spent for my family. I will never use them again, and I feel like they ripped me off.
