● Customers must be at the meeting point 20 minutes before the scheduled departure time. Tours will start exactly on time. Delays are not tolerated and will not entitle customers to any refund, not even a partial one

● It is mandatory to correctly complete the details of all passengers: full first name(s) and last name(s), date of birth and nationality. The details entered in the reservation cannot be edited, name changes or data changes are not permitted once the reservation has been closed; it must be cancelled and a new place booked subject to availability.

Only small bags or backpacks are allowed. The Colosseum does not have a cloakroom or luggage storage.
● The itinerary and route of the tour may be modified according to the day’s operations or the monument’s regulations.
● Important: official tickets are not issued at the time of booking and depend directly on the availability and allocation of the Colosseum. For this reason, the monument may modify entry times, access points or routes when issuing the tickets. If the visit cannot be confirmed on the selected date or time, an available alternative will be offered.
● The visit will take place in an archaeological area with very steep and uneven slopes. Agility and good balance are essential
