Colosseum

Discover the Colosseum in the serenity of night with a guided tour. Enjoy access to the main areas of the structure, as well as exclusive access to the underground dungeons and arena floor under the moonlight, where fierce gladiator battles once took place. Upon arrival at the Colosseum in the evening, meet your guide who will escort you on your exclusive journey. Away from the usual crowds of the day, enjoy the opportunity to admire the Colosseum in a more intimate and engaging way, as you first discover the grandstands. Then, you will enter one of the restrictive areas of the monument, the underground. Discover a network of tunnels where lions, tigers, and other fearsome animals were kept. See the remnants of cages, wooden elevators, and gladiator rooms where combatants awaited their frightful fate in the arena. Head up to the arena floor through the archway named "The Gate of Death." Hear thrilling stories from your guide under the moonlight.

Very unhelpful staff, too expensive for the same thing you see in the day. Just go during the day it’s cheaper and the exact same thing.
Great Experience

It was very cool to see the Colosseum at night, especially the underground level. The guide was not very engaging though.
A Disappointing Colosseum Experience

The Colosseum itself was glorious in the evening, however, our guide made this tour such a disappointment. While he was an historian, he truly struggled to express himself in English. Additionally, he rambled a few dry facts during each phase of the tour rather than give context to the history, its people, and culture. For over $350 (2 adults) it was not worth the cost for a 1-hour tour. Earlier in the week we toured Pompeii and Herculaneum with an excellent guide who brought the cities to life with his knowledge and sense of humor (at 1/2 the cost of the Colosseum and for 7 hours). It was a real contrast to what we experienced at the Colosseum. Viator, please do a better job at vetting the tour guides on offer.
Unique and cool experience

Such a cool way to see the Colosseum at night. There was a bit of confusion about the meeting point. There was about 10 of us all at the same place which was apparently wrong, thankfully someone in the group found our guide and we worked it out. Apart from that it was a wonderful tour and our guide was great! I prefer this to the day time tour, which is always largely crowded.
We learned so much last...

We learned so much last night about the Colosseum. Highly recommend this night tour. You are allowed inside to meet the guide exactly 10 minutes before the tour. She took us through the most interesting areas that I would never have seen in the day. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The night tour was wonderful and a great experience. Our tour guide was very informational. I think it would be helpful maybe to have a picture of where you meet your guide.
Quite a bargain

They gave me a ticket worth 26 euros and made me pay more than 100, they just resell. Unfortunately they cannot be bought directly from the coliseum, as they sell them all to them. Open the days with tickets already sold Half a business they have They could even add the transfer to the hotel It's a robbery.

Very informative tour. Visiting at night and seeing the areas below the arena floor gave a unique perspective of the colosseum.
