132 tours · €4–€1500 per person · ★ 4.8
Colosseum tours here were picked by hand: we read every listing and kept 132 tours rated 4.5★ or higher. With prices from €4 per person to €1500, audio guide options let you explore independently while private visits give your party its own guide. Guided tours of the Colosseum typically bundle entry to the Forum and Palatine Hill with a guide and headsets, so you can hear the commentary as you walk.
A quick way to choose: a Colosseum arena floor tour does not automatically include the underground; for a Colosseum underground tour, select the option that explicitly includes it. Audio guide options do not come with a live guide, even when the listing title says guided tour. Bring a valid ID matching the names on your booking, as incorrect names can mean refused entry. The best reviewed Colosseum tours come first below.
