What is not quite clear from the description is that it is a two-part tour. Before you get into the Colosseum, there is a small tour (approx. 1 hour) in advance. Personally, I was very excited about this part. You get some interesting information about Trajan, the Capitol, why ancient Rome lies deeper, etc. Then we go to the Colosseum - in our case unfortunately with a new guide. Both parts of the tour were very interesting, but we found our guides much more empathetic in the first part. Nevertheless, I can only recommend this tour to everyone. The Colosseum at night is much more relaxed than during the day.

This was incredible. Our Guide was amazing and so knowledgable. It was a great tour to take on our first day in Rome after disembarking from our Cruise. The Colosseum is so amazing to see lit up at night. The group is not gigantic and you have such personalized experience entering the Area after typical tour hours. Yes, it's going to be pricier than if you went in the day and bought your ticket per Rick Steves for like 12 Euro- but .... go big or go .... how often do you get to see the Colosseum? and then how ofter do you get to see it at night? My 20yo, 17yo, the 53yo and this 50yo were impressed- and glad to have gone!

The appearance of the Colosseum at night is very impressive. The guides were very knowledgeable. Inside the Colosseum, the lighting is poor and the footing not so good. Equipping the guide at the Colosseum with a small flashlight would be helpful, I noticed some visitors were using their cell phones as flashlights. The testimonials and film presentation were well done, and the visit below the stage was very interesting. I would have enjoyed access to the gift shop, but that was not a huge problem for me.
