What To Expect

Skip the Line: Ancient Rome and Colosseum Half-Day Walking Tour

Your day of sightseeing starts near the Colosseum, where you meet your guide and take a walk up Oppian Hill for a view of the amphitheater, perhaps Rome’s most iconic symbol. Then walk back down and enter the Colosseum with your skip-the-line ticket, allowing you to jump the main entrance queue and go straight inside. Explore the first two levels of the arena, listening to brutal stories about the gladiator battles and other bloody events that once took place here.

Exiting the Colosseum, walk over to the Roman Forum, stopping by the Arch of Constantine on the way. Then walk up Palatine Hill for more views of the ruins before your tour ends on Via Sacra, the street that connects Capitoline Hill to the Colosseum.

At this point, you have free time to get some lunch and explore on your own before the second part of your Super Saver begins (lunch is at your own expense).

Best of Rome Walking Tour

In the afternoon, your walking tour starts at Piazza di Spagna, where you meet your guide and set off around Rome’s historic center. Admire the famous Spanish Steps, which lead up to the Trinita dei Monti church, and then walk to the Trevi Fountain, perhaps Rome’s most famous fountain, known for its legend that states if you throw a coin in the water, you will return to Rome someday.

Continue to the square that ancient Romans considered to be the center of the city, Piazza Colonna, and then visit the stately Pantheon. Walk through lively Piazza Navona, where street artists show off their talents and visitors mingle around the baroque fountains.

Great day with two different tour guides. Both friendly and helpful in each walking tour. Thoroughly enjoyed it

Overall experience very informative

Rob_I, Oct 2023

Our guide was very informative with an easy, calm and steady approach in teaching the Roman history, along with allowing all participants to absorb the surroundings at a relaxing pace

Lots of info in a little time!

Kristina_P, Sep 2023

Our tour guide Emmanuela was funny and very accommodating. She took her time with us and made us laugh a lot!

Great time

Pilar_M, Sep 2023

The guides were extraordinary, knowledgeable and entretaining . We have a blast at the Colisseum, our guide was exceptional. I wouldn’t sell these two as a package though.. a

Our Coliseum Tour

Ray_H, Jun 2023

My wife and I took the tour to the Coliseum, Palantine Hill, and The Forum. Our guide, Sylvia, was very knowledgeable, funny, and made us feel very comfortable right away. She is very passionate and extremely detailed. The pictures she shared with us helped us to understand what we were looking at. I highly recommend this tour! Great job Sylvia!!

Great combo tour

Angela_D, Jun 2023

Colosseum was amazing and Simone was a wonderful guide. In the afternoon Edy helped us see the sights. He was extremely knowledgeable and helpful.

Colosseum & walking tour

Leanne_A, Jun 2023

We absolutely loved all the things we covered that day. The colosseum was amazing. It was a little confusing finding our way to the meeting spot for the walking tour - but that tour covered everything we hoped. It was a little hard to understand the 2nd guide but we thoroughly enjoyed it.

I can’t say enough about...

Jacque_L, Jun 2023

I can’t say enough about the hard working people that run the tour companies. Instructions for meeting spot were very clear. Check in process very organized. Our guide Eddy was fantastic work us through the crowd. He battled the rain with us and provided great enthusiastic information about the locations.

Great tour guide

Jessica_U, Apr 2023

We had a wonderful tour guide. Rome was extremely packed and our tour guide did his very best to give us a great tour. We were disappointed that originally when we booked it was supposed to include a tour of a church and a stop for coffee or gelato, which we did not receive but, we do understand how difficult the day was with so many people touring the city that day.

Ancient world comes alive

Laurie_F, Oct 2022

Ancient world comes alive with Sabrina as your guide. Politics, gladiators, Roman history. Well done!

Going back 2000 years

paul_m, Oct 2022

Going back thousands of years was mind boggling. Our guide Sylvia "the frog" made it even more enjoyable. Her knowledge about the monuments was awesome and she took us back in history. Definitely worth skipping the line

Sisters trip

Laura_R, Oct 2022

Great tour and very knowledgeable tour guide. This tour is a must if you do not have a lot of time in Rome.

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Hello Laura_R, We really appreciate you taking the time to leave us an amazing review! Everyone at City Wonders is delighted to hear that you loved your tour -- and your tour guide. From our entire team, thank you for choosing City Wonders. We hope to see you again on some of our other unique experiences in the future. All the best, Edgar J. City Wonders

Do this one!

Michael_O, Sep 2022

Do this tour. Our guide was excellent. She was very knowledgeable and exceeded my expectations. Follow up this tour with an underground tour of the Coloseum, get the full experience. This tour included the Forum at the end. If you have time, walk around the whole Forum. Their was not enough time in the tour to cover the whole thing. Maybe search for a more inclusive Forum tour if you want a little more out of that area.

Great walking toyr

David_B, Sep 2022

We had a great time with guide Sylvia on this tour. She was so knowledgeable, passionate and friendly which made the experience so much better!! We wish the tour could have gone for longer and covered more of Rome!!! Only minor downside is we didn't get our gelato but we didn't do the tour just for the gelato so we found some elsewhere!! Highly recommend this tour!!

Awful experience - steer clear!

Gary_M, Aug 2022

Terrible experience. I arrived 20 minutes early to find the tour, but the description on where to meet was not helpful - it simply said to meet at the "second floor of the Colosseum metro." There were thousands and thousands of people there, and I could not find anyone from the tour company. When I finally found someone about 2 minutes after the tour was supposed to start, he refused to look at his list to see if I should have been on his tour. Go see these sites without taking this tour - you'll save a lot of money and frustration.

Never again

Cristin_J, May 2022

We were 8 minutes late for the morning portion of our tour. We were no allowed to try to meet the group in the line for the tour. We were told we could not join the second part of our tour later in the day. I get that we were late. We arrived to the location on time but struggled to find our tour in the crowds. No one from the tour company was helpful. Not in person on the phone or via online communications.

Fabulous Rome, will be back

Pheadra_M, Mar 2022

Very informative tour, enjoyed the second part most and smaller group and guide made it very interesting

Great except for second portion

Shawn_K, Dec 2021

The first portion of the trip was amazing the tour guide was very knowledgeable. We where very tired from the first portion of the tour and tried to reschedule the second portion for Tuesday 12/7. No one has gotten back to our request still

Whirlwind Rome!

Becky_W, Oct 2021

It was our 2nd day but our last day in Rome and we wanted to cover a lot of ground and this tour does it! In the morning we had a guide who took us through the Colosseum and the Roman Forum for about 3 hours. Selerna was so great with pictures to help us understand what thing would have looked like originally and she provided great stories and historical information! In the afternoon, Damian, walked us through more historical sights some with a more modern relevance including the Spanish steps, the Trevi fountain and the Panthenon. He was very informative and really kept the group engaged the whole 3 hours! Both tour guides gave us “insider tips” for lunch and dinner!

Great tour

Bo_G, Oct 2021

Laura was wonderful! She gave us so much information but in a unique story telling way, I 100% recommend!
