Colosseum Last Entry
Andy was an amazing guide he had so much knowledge and catered the tour to what we wanted and the questions we had. He had some of the best humor I have had with a tour guide yet. He was always checking on our comfort and made sure we had water. Highly recommend.

An incredible tour with a wonderful guide!
Thank you for a spectacular tour! Our guide Paola was wonderfully friendly and knowledgeable. The cannot be anything about Ancient Rome that she does not know! The aperitivo at the conclusion of the tour was a really special experience, watching the sun set on the forum. Thank you again!

Dennis is a great guide!
We have been on vacation for 7 days and had several tours and Dennis was our favorite tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and knew how to include just the right amount humor to keep us entertained. He was great!

Best Colosseum tour
If you want to tour the Colosseum it must be with Alexandra. She elevated the whole experience with her vivid stories that brought ancient Rome to life. Thank you Alexandra.

Great tour!
We had a great time on this tour! Our guide was Patrizia and she was amazing. Super knowledgeable and able to navigate the crowds well. I felt satisfied with our time at the Colosseum but for me the show stopper was the Forum as I had no idea so much history was there. Our last stop for aperitifs at a nearby rooftop bar was the cherry on top. We had amazing views of the Forum below. Highly recommend!

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Last Entry Colosseum, Arena Access, Rooftop Aperitif Private Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rome.
How much does Last Entry Colosseum, Arena Access, Rooftop Aperitif Private Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $189 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 Last Entry Colosseum, Arena Access, Rooftop Aperitif Private Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3.3 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 Last Entry Colosseum, Arena Access, Rooftop Aperitif Private Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 57 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rome, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Last Entry Colosseum, Arena Access, Rooftop Aperitif Private Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Last Entry Colosseum, Arena Access, Rooftop Aperitif Private Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Last Entry Colosseum, Arena Access, Rooftop Aperitif Private Tour?
+
Around 20 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 3.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Last Entry Colosseum, Arena Access, Rooftop Aperitif Private Tour 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.
