Know before you go
- For safety reasons and to limit crowding during busy periods, the Colosseum allows only 3,000 people inside at any time. This may cause a slight delay for entry if capacity has been reached, even with pre-booked reservations
- Please bring valid photo ID as you will be asked to show this at the Colosseum’s entrance (including children 3-17 years)
- The tour runs rain or shine. Refunds will not be provided for no-shows or late arrivals
- Skip-the-line and priority entrance refers to the ticket line only and not the security check line which everyone has to go through upon entering the Colosseum
- There may be additional security checks and some delays due to new security measures in operation
- Unfortunately, this tour is not wheelchair accessible
- All children must be accompanied by an adult, children under 2 year of age are free
