We Booked ( with The Tour Guy) and Ready for April 2024!!! Cant wait!! Thanks so Much- These Video Truly Help a ton!!
That’s great to hear. Happy Travels
This was a blast to film and produce. Glad this information is out there now
Wow this is so helpful! Love the maps, bus info, and different angles of the Colosseum.
This video is amazing and very informative! Thank you!
I remember visiting The Colosseum so well! This video brings me back. Amazing video as always!
Thanks so much Jessica!
This video came out so great Angel! I think its going to really help travelers understand how to approach visiting the Colosseum.
Thanks Sean. Our aim is to help people travel better and have more fun.
Took a colosseum tour with you guys and it was amazing! I highly recommend it
Hi Bobby. Thanks for the testimonial and comment. Any tips to pass along to fellow travelers?
This is super helpful! Looking forward to visiting the colosseum next month!
Bring the borraccia and fill with ice before leaving your hotel!
Last week, I did the exclusive access tour of the Colosseum with Dario (of the Tour Guys) and had a great time. We started off in the Roman Forum, explored the Palatine Hill, then took the Via Sacra to the Colosseum, where we visited the arena and some upper floors. Dario was an engaging guide the whole time, despite the heat. And I certainly left with much more knowledge than had I visited on my own. I’d highly recommend the Tour Guy tours. And as always, fantastic video! Wish I could go back now!
We appreciate your time with us and for this review. Thank you so much and we look forward to having you join us in another city.
I was surprised that the underground tour wasn't even that hot. SO much of it is in the shade, and our guide Serena gave us plenty of time to sit and rest. it was a great day
Yes it's shady and several degrees cooler. Glad you loved it n
We just booked the grand tour because of a video we found today on CZcams! Can’t wait to see Rome ! My husband is on IG and he can’t wait to put our journey on his channel ! Thanks 🙏
Great. See you in Rome
Love the video! Very helpful! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Cannot wait to go back! Amazing video!
How long has it been?
Thank you! Booked with you guys and will be visiting in 2 weeks
Cool. See you in Rome
Thank you for your videos
Glad you like them!
Awesome very detailed video answering all my questions and concerns. Your tour pages are also great. Will do the Underground tour for sure. Can't wait to check out your other tours for my once in a lifetime fall trip this year with my adult daughter.

I foresee many visits to Rome for you. What will you do this visit?
@@TheTourGuyVids Ive never been to Trastevere,! Not only for the fountains,churches..but "when in Rome,do as the romans do"...want to find local cafes,stores,where the locals go, I love the authenticity...and eat where they eat"..I will have my grandson with me, he's 16...so Id like to find places for his age?....I might just follow my nose and go down rosds,lanes that are off the beaten track,,I may find shops...im all for finding places that will be good for others....im on a budget this time,so nice to find places for people that are also on a tight budget.

We ate today (7/26/23) at the restaurant you recommended at 8:30 on this video. Thanks for the great recommendation.
Hope you enjoyed it!
I’ve just found your channel and love it! ❤ How long would you recommend spending time here.
2 hrs
Great video! I plan on ordering this tour and some other tours with you guys! Do you have a walking map of Rome highlighting other interesting stops?
Hey thanks so much. We don't have a map like that but our blog articles have links to google maps. We do that so you can bookmark what you like.
Angel, you do a genuinely great job. We’ll be there late Sept, and hope to use you group’s services. Still d3ciding the best neighborhood to stay, but prob Monti. Thanks much
Thanks so much. Check out our Monti video.
I've been to the Colosseum a few years ago with my sister. We are going back in late October. We plan on doing the night tour of the Colosseum this time. We are renting a car because we are also staying in Sorrento and Pisa. We are looking forward to this trip.
Very cool. Happy Travels
Very fantastic l love
Thank you so much
Waaah l literally love very much
If you have full experience ticket valid 2 days is it possible to start visiting from Froum Romanum and Palatonie ad then go to Colosseum?
Lovely video!! Thanks for sharing! We will be visiting in June this yr. We really want to stay somewhere central. Our hearts desire is to see the Colosseum and of course the Vatican and Sistine chapel. We'd love to taste all the yummy food and experience some adventure too. We are a family of 5. kids aging 18, 16, and 10. Where should we stay?? Thoughts and ideas?? Thank you in advance!!!! Amy
Here's our list of recommended hotels
theromanguy.com/italy-travel-blog/rome/where-to-stay-in-rome-this-year/
Thanks for all the great information. Do you know how to order the free tickets for children and where do we pick them up once we arrive at Colosseum? Any ideas if the line to pick up free tickets for children is very long? Not sure it's better to just buy the children tickets to avoid having to wait in line to pick up.
Do you guys do tours on Sat or Sunday? How early in the morning do you do the tours?
Yes. Thetourguy.com/tours/colosseum-tours
Hi, a SUPER ticket allows me to visit colosseum at a booked time. I wonder if I am allowed to visit Palatine Hill and the Forum using the ticket before the booked time?
Where did you buy the ticket from?
Can anyone advise on how long tour’s usually take? Like how much could you do in one day or would you need to split it over a few
It depends on the tour. Check our website for details. Duration of tours are listed for each.
Thank you so much for this video. We are visiting Rome 10/14-18, before taking a Mediterranean Cruise. I have a question. My father is 87 and can not walk more than maybe 1/4 of a mile before needing to rest. He is most excited to see the colosseum than anything else we are doing. Can you give me some ideas or suggestions on how I can prepare to make this trip possible for him?
I have a similar question, were you able to figure out a way.
Hello
Can you give a guide on going to the stadio olimpico to attend a football game
Great idea. Thanks
After the tour of the colosseum is over are you able to stay in the colosseum without the guide and then make your way to the forum and Paletine hill?
Yes, if you would like! While our tours of the Colosseum also include the Roman Forum and Palatine hill with your guide, you are certainly welcome to remain longer in the Colosseum and do the rest on your own. Just let your guide know at the start. For the best experience, I would suggest booking a private tour and you could end with the Colosseum. Feel free to reach out on of our travel experts at info@thetourguy.com if you'd like to customize and tour and book.
Thank you for the quick response! I will be reaching out talk about a custom tour!! Thank you for the great info!! Grazie!
I didnt see any night time colosseum tickets. Do yall do those tours?
The best place to check for tickets is our website
Where do I get the tickets from u ?
theromanguy.com/tours/italy/rome
I was reading on whats not allowed inside the Colosseum. Yet, its confusing when i see videos. Are tripods and backpacks allowed? Thanks in advance.
Visitors are not allowed to enter with glass bottles, sprays, knives (even small ones) or scissors. No drinks are allowed either, apart from water - plastic water bottles are permitted.
Big bags are not permitted inside the Colosseum, but regular day-size rucksacks are fine.
There are no designated areas for storing bulky personal possessions such as suitcases or heavy backpacks, so if the staff at the entrance see you carrying them, you won’t be allowed in. Quite apart from the rules of the security check at the Colosseum, your tour won’t be quite as enjoyable if you’re struggling with luggage - so make sure you pack light!
I have a tour booked for next week. Can I enter with a small backpack?
I would avoid bringing a bag
@@TheTourGuyVids thanks
Update: I just did the Underground tour of the Colosseum. I didn't need to take a bag, so I didn't. However, many people had backpacks. It's no problem; just be ready to put your bag through the x-ray just like airport security.
Shall I visit on Sunday or no?
If you can only go on Sunday, then do it!
Surprised you didn't mention that all Rome museums are free on the first Sunday of the month and tour operators also have cut prices that day. I got a Coloseum and Palatine hill guided tour for 50% off.
That’s a great point and thanks for the comment. This point didn’t make the final cut. Much appreciated!
Tickets are rarely available online, so how do you get tickets once you arrive please?
@@aali4492 You walk up to the museum and they just hand you a ticket and the tour operators for the coloseum walk around the area. They are good sales persons. They can tell who are tourists and they approached me. That's what happened when I went. Though for castel sant angello someone tried to sell me a que buster ticket but I refused and when I got there the que wasn't that bad. Hope this helps. 😃
Can someone tell me where is he standing at 0:58. Is it a restaurant next to colosseum? Thanks
It's the Giardinetto del Monte Oppio.
@@TheTourGuyVids thanks a lot. We visited the colosseum but didn’t see this place where you are standing. Anyway it was really hot that day almost 40 deg Celsius so we were rushing to finish our colosseum tour 😓
@@NA-mg1uo no problem. Glad you were there even though it was 🔥🔥🔥
Next time I recommend picnicking in the shade with a view of the Colosseum. Happy Travels and thanks so much for the comment and subscribing to the channel.
Can you see the outside of the Mamertine prison without paying the 10 euro to go in or is it blocked off by some barrier?
Nah, pay the 10€. The outside is just a church-looking facade. If you go that far pony up and pay the money-save by not dropping as much coin on drinks that night!
@@TheTourGuyVids Cool. I will add it to the long list
What’s wrong with going during Sunday?
There is nothing wrong with going on Sunday, but you may experience increased crowds because the Vatican museums are closed on Sundays. So the recommended strategy is to go on a different day.
I am Indian🇮🇳🇮🇳 gujrati
No way man… please google rob Beckett!! Your his twin😂
Hahah I have. He’s a funny guy.
Love it mate Roman is better than porn
What is the official website of colosseum for the tickets ? Thanks
I, this was a good film made, but I would not book with this company. We booked the special access for an early underground tour of the Colosseum, and it was a fiasco. We were never told that you would need documentation to get in. Fortunately, I was able to find a photo taken years ago of my passport, so I was able to enter. But then, once we entered, our tour guide was not able to go in the underground to give us a tour because she herself did not have a ticket. So our group was left to wander in the underground by herself, and could not hear anything about the history of it or what certain areas were used for or told anything about it. It was so unfortunate to pay the amount of money we did to not get the tour that we signed up for. It very much felt like this was the first time they were giving the tour as again nobody was ever told to bring any documentation, and our tour guide was denied access because she did not have a ticket. Seems really fishy.
Wow. Seems.strange. Sorry to hear this. Whiich date was your tour?
your prices is to hight @@TheTourGuyVids
@@gduproduction 🤷🏽♂️
That's crazy seeing all those people. I went in Feb 2022 in order to help spread herd immunity as fast as possible. Went to all the "hotspots" in Europe. But I was one of less than 20 people, including employees, inside the entire coliseum. A stupendous sight to experience. I recommend everybody travels Italy and anywhere in Europe they please. It's wild, cheap hash and amazing food everywhere
At which place Colosseum
Definitely paid to eat with a view of the Colosseum in the background lol not very many people can say they did that.
People do it everyday
I am trying to find a tour to take, but I read somewhere that you can’t enter the Colosseum with a backpack. Most tours start before we would be able to get into our hotel. Is it true I can’t enter with a backpack?
Visitors are not allowed to enter with glass bottles, sprays, knives (even small ones) or scissors. No drinks are allowed either, apart from water - plastic water bottles are permitted.
Big bags are not permitted inside the Colosseum, but regular day-size rucksacks are fine.
