Reviews for Night Colosseum Tour: with Gladiators Underground and Arena
Spooky good time - Excellent Experience!
louisvilleduo
We were quite exhausted having flown in that morning and toured the Vatican in the afternoon but we soon realized the experience was going to keep us fully engaged. The meet up was straightforward and our guides were both excellent (a person does the city tour leading up to the Colosseum and then then another takes over once you are inside). I believe Elisa was the name of our city tour guide and she did a great job of providing the interesting back stories connected to the layers of Rome we were seeing comparing it to Lasagna :). Once inside, we were treated to the details of the Colosseum itself which are enhanced I think by it being at night. Somehow it's easier to hear the echoes of the past at night, especially when the crowds are also MUCH smaller than other day tours we've taken. I agree with other reviewers that the little video stops were a little hokey but it didn't diminish the experience. Highly recommend!
Magical Night

Having seen the Colosseum by day last year with a friend, I decided to take my 17 year old son at night. There were no crowds like there are in the daytime. The experience is much more intimate. The weather was perfect and our guide did a great job. The finishing touch on the tour was a short film from a gladiator’s perspective on the night before a fight, which we viewed right on the fighting floor. Highly recommend.

Guide was very knowledgeable was very pleasant answered questions very well made sure she was in contact with the group at all times and did not walk too fast ahead of the group.

We had an enjoyable evening on this tour which was more than just about the Colosseum it also shed light on the Forum and Ancient Rome thanks to our guide. Well worth doing when in this amazing city
Incredible Colosseum at night: Elisa is fantastic!

This tour was the highlight of the entire trip for me and my husband: the emotion to enter in the Colosseum empty, understanding the grandiosity of the Roman Empire!
I had tours in different nations and this was by far the best one I had in years of travels, absolutely unforgettable! I can't talk high enough of our superb guide, Elisa, a trained archeologist: she really added a truly insight to this tour and she has got a flawless english (the best english I've found in Italy, without italian accent).
I took several tours and I was impressed about the way she is delivering the information, she is passionate and happy to share her incredible knowledge. She covered lots of material and answered every question, being engaging for all the evening. I will recommend this tour to anyone wanting to visit the Colosseum and I will not esitate to book with Rome Experience again.
A big thank to Elisa for the spectacular tour, I absolutely loved it, she is the best guide you can have in Rome!
