About this experience

The construction of the various wings of Palazzo Colonna lasted for five centuries and this led to the overlap of different architectural styles, both exterior and interior, that characterize it and reflect the different epochs of belonging. From 1300 to 1500 it presented itself as a real family fortress. Oddone Colonna, elected pope on 11 November 1417 and assumed the name of Martin V, destines the Palace to the Pontifical See and lives there from 1420 to 1431, the year of his death. In the austere halls of Palazzo Colonna, Pope Martino V plans and realizes in ten years a great plan of cultural, urban and administrative renaissance of the city of Rome, which lay in ruinous condition after the tormented period of the captivity of Avignon and of the Western schism. In 1527, during the sack of Rome by the troops of the Emperor Carlo V, Palazzo Colonna is one of the few buildings that are not burnt thanks to the good relations of the family with the Empire...

Angela_H · August 2026

Lorenzo was a great guide to the Palace. I would go back, in October!

Beautiful palace with a smaller collection of art work spanning several centuries and styles. Lorenzo was a fantastic guide, providing history and insight. He was also very patient with our limitations. Be aware that like the Vatican, this palace is not air conditioned. They offer umbrellas for walking the gardens, and some windows are open, but it is still very hot in August.

Response from the operator: Dear Angela, thank you very much for your support. We're really happy you loved Lorenzo and the Colonna Gallery. See you soon !!! Regards Max Parini

Very few people know about this palace that is only open 2 days a week and definitely worth seeing Our guide Lorenzo was very knowledgeable and gave a great tour of the palace and outside gardens He taught us about the history of the Colonna family and showed us very interesting art work

Response from the operator: Dear Mrs Sandell, we're very happy you loved this tour. Lorenzo is a really really good guide. Happy summer Holidays

Fascinating Tour

The interplay of art, politics and history makes this a fascinating tour. We were fortunate to have Rebecca as a guide, who did very well putting all the facets in context, making for a most enjoyable morning .

Galleria Colonna

We booked a guided tour through Colonna Palace website. The palace is in amazing condition thanks to the heirs who did a great job of maintaining it. Our guide was Frederica and she was delightful, very knowledgeable and insightful. Highly recommend booking a tour with her.

The Colonna Palace Walking Tour: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rome.

How much does The Colonna Palace Walking Tour cost?

+

Prices start at $100 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 The Colonna Palace Walking Tour take?

+

Plan for about 2 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 The Colonna Palace Walking Tour worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable family friendly in Rome, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule The Colonna Palace Walking Tour?

+

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 The Colonna Palace Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 2-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book The Colonna Palace Walking Tour?

+

Around 3 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does The Colonna Palace Walking 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.
