This was an incredible experience! So interesting to be looking up from below the floor and seeing all the lights.

Cool to see the Colosseum after hours, without many people around. The tour is engaging, but an hour doesn't feel like long enough to go into much detail.

The tour itself was OK. Our tour guide was professional and did a good job. However, the lead-up to the tour seemed to be wasted time where we were led to an area next to the coliseum and given low-quality VR sets with a shoddy description of ancient times. Probably wasted at least 20 minutes this way.

The experience itself was very unique. Seeing colosseum at night was so cool no crowd felt like we had the whole place to ourself. Our guide was ok also we were told we will be in a small group but it wasn’t there we’re over 25 people. Our guide was nice but had a thick accent so it was hard to understand most of the stuff.

Fantastic way to see the Colosseum- explained the inner workings of the areas not usually seen. Highly recommend this tour

Excellent guide. We also lived the virtual reality tour. We have toured coliseum before with a guid, but this was first time in underground floor.

While the Colosseum tour itself was breathtaking, it seems the additional services from the operator might not be worth the extra cost. Buying tickets directly from the Colosseum webpage could be a more straightforward and cost-effective option. The virtual reality experience, though novel, caused motion sickness for some. The night tour, however, showcased the Colosseum's grandeur beautifully. Just be cautious of unclear instructions – the Italian Police encounter could have been avoided with more specific guidance from the operator. Opt for the direct approach to fully enjoy the wonders of the Colosseum without unnecessary hassles.

This was an excellent tour. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. We loved it and will recommend to all our friends.

Seeing the Coliseum at night was a great choice, our guide was great, knowledgeable & very comprehensive. Unfortunately we had lots of young children on our time slot, which meant a lot of the information couldn’t be heard. (not a complaint as the organisers cannot police parenting) My only suggestion is that there is a strong mention of the VR set experience before entering the colosseum. I along with most of the post 20 year olds felt very disoriented & nauseous for a good portion of the tour! Still well worth the night visit!

Our guide was very friendly, spoke English very well and the entire tour was absolutely incredible!! Seeing it at night was magical and eerie at the same time. Definately one of the highlights of our trip to Italy.
