Private tour with Mira
We had a private tour of the Colosseum and Roman Forum. Our guide Mira was simply world-class! She made the tour absolutely interesting for our children as well and made everything tangible and easy to imagine through pictures and stories. This will not have been our last tour with Mira. A special thanks also goes to Matthias, who made this experience possible for us despite the short notice. Absolute recommendation!
Response from the operator: Hallo liebe Familie Ostermann ☀️, wow, grazie mille für diese wunderbare Rückmeldung! ⭐️ Wir freuen uns riesig, dass euch die private Führung so gut gefallen hat. Mira wird sich ganz bestimmt darüber freuen zu hören, dass sie es geschafft hat, Geschichte auch für eure Kinder lebendig, spannend und greifbar zu machen🩵 Genauso wichtig ist uns aber auch die Arbeit unseres Büros hinter den Kulissen. Gerade wenn eine Anfrage kurzfristig kommt, braucht es viel Organisation, Flexibilität und Einsatz, damit am Ende alles reibungslos klappt. Ein besonderer Dank gilt hier auch Matthias, der sich darum gekümmert hat, dass euer Erlebnis trotz der Kurzfristigkeit möglich wurde. Wir würden uns sehr freuen, euch bei eurem nächsten Besuch in Rom wiederzusehen ,vielleicht gibt es dann ja noch viele weitere Geschichten zu entdecken! Bis hoffentlich ganz bald und grazie mille 🇮🇹 für eure Empfehlung ☀️ Das Team der Deutschen Römerin

Great value the tour!!!!!! AMAZING!
Annette has given us an AMAZING tour! She is very spontanous, witty AND knowledgeable - and has the talent to be an actress :-) She told us about the Gladiators and events in the Colosseum in a colourful way, evoking all our senses - getting us to imagine, act and feel. Our 13 - year old twins didn't complain once, in 3 and a half hours - they were all the time engaged, fascinated or laughing about Annettes jokes. The whole group of 17 was having a very good time. Also the Forum Roman, the basilika are SOOO incredible. Well, we are very happy and grateful to have been on your tour!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words 🫶, We are truly happy to hear that you had such a memorable experience with Annett. She is not only the founder of our agency but also a passionate guide who loves bringing history to life, so your words mean a lot to us. It’s especially nice to know that your 13-year-old twins enjoyed the tour as well , keeping young travelers engaged for three and a half hours is always the best compliment for a guide! The Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the basilicas are indeed incredible places, and we’re glad Annett was able to make the stories of gladiators and ancient Rome come alive for you and the whole group. Thank you again for joining our tour. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to welcome you again in Rome someday☀️ Warm regards, The Team

Details matter!
Susi, our Tour Guide, was excellent with a high degree of connection with our group. She pointed out many details that otherwise would have gone unnoticed. She anticipated many questions and volunteered answers. I’m sure we learned twice as much as we would have with just the regular tour!
Response from the operator: Ciao!☀️ Thank you so much for the great feedback! 💫We are really happy to hear that you had such an amazing time with our great Susi and that she made the tour extra special and informative with all her insights Hope to welcome you again in Bella Roma. 🩵

We enjoyed it a lot
Great guide, great and funny experience! Totally worth it. I learned a lot of interesting facts, while still being entertained
Response from the operator: Wir danken dir von Herzen für die großartige Bewertung und die lieben Worte ❤️ Schön, dass es Spaß gemacht hat und die wichtigen Informationen nicht zu kurz gekommen sind 🤓☝️Bis zum nächsten Mal in bella Roma und ganz liebe Grüße von deinem Deutsche Römerin Team 🏛️

Why this scores 85
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
German Colosseum and Roman Forum: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rome.
How much does German Colosseum and Roman Forum cost?
+
Prices start at $49 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rome usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does German Colosseum and Roman Forum take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rome is not rushed.
Is German Colosseum and Roman Forum worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 85 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 677 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Rome, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule German Colosseum and Roman Forum?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is German Colosseum and Roman Forum suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book German Colosseum and Roman Forum?
+
Around 237 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rome can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rome and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does German Colosseum and Roman Forum start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rome within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rome?
+
Rome runs on skip-the-line access. The Colosseum underground, the Vatican before opening, and the catacombs south of the walls all require a licensed operator, and the price gap between the good ones and the rest is smaller than you would expect. We rank by guide credentials, group size and how reliably the promised access actually materialises. On Outty we rank every Rome experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Rome Pasta and Tiramisu Class: Ravioli, Fettuccine & Fine Wine 5*, Pasta Making & Wine Tasting with Dinner in Frascati from Rome, Rome: Pizza & Tiramisu or Gelato Class with Flowing Fine Wine 5*. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rome?
+
April, May, September and October. August is hot and half the city is shut. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rome?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
