PRO TIP
I've been coming to Rome for many years. I went on all kinds of guided tours, but visiting the Colosseum arena at night was a totally different experience. The monument just feels different, and you get a sense of all the history that took place there. Our group wasn't big, and the guide was very enthusiastic. I highly recommend you visit the Colosseum at night!
For me and my wife, this tour was the best way to see the famous amphitheater. We loved the fact there were no daytime crowds, so it felt more exclusive. We got skip-the-line access that we normally wouldn't have. Also, our guide, Enrico, had a ton of interesting stories. We learned so much!
