    Full description

    Enjoy a hassle-free tour of the Colosseum and ancient Rome during the evening and avoid the crowds. Your tour starts with a smooth stroll along the Roman Forum. As the light fades, you will see the heart of Rome’s historic center, with its temples, arches, and the sanctuary of Ancient Rome’s famous Vestal Virgins.

    On your way down Via dei Fori Imperiali, you will see the highlight of your tour: the Roman Colosseum. At this time, the Colosseum is virtually empty so you will have a rare experience as your guide leads you around, explaining the history and characters that make the place so fascinating. You will wander the arena floor and see centuries-old graffiti on the Colosseum’s walls. Your tour ends when the sunset is only starting in Rome. Head to the nearby Monti area for dinner or take some time to wander around and photograph the Colosseum. Experience a more peaceful, beautiful, and atmospheric place at this time than ever.

    Meeting point

    The tour commences on the platform directly in front of Trajan’s Column. Trajan’s Column is located on Via dei Fori Imperiali next to Piazza Venezia. When standing right in front and facing the Victor Emmanuel II Monument (the Wedding Cake), it’s directly to the left across the street. Your tour coordinator will be waiting here wearing either a blue polo shirt or a blue jacket with the City Wonders logo printed on it. If you arrive by taxi, ask your driver to take you to Piazza Foro Traiano. You will see the roughly 30 meters high Trajan’s Column as you enter the Piazza, and the meeting point is up the steps on the platform next to it.

    I recommend this experience to you, it was the most beautiful of our whole trip to Rome. Admittedly the price is high but it is really worth it, between the visit of the streets near the Colosseum and the visit of the Colosseum itself the whole night it is really magic! Go for it with your eyes closed

    I wish the Paltine Hill was a little earlier, so we could see the area better. Our guide was good. The Collseum guide was sort of ok. Also it was to many people the underground. It was hard to hear if you were at the end because the radio box would cut out.

    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.
