Confusion buying tickets for the Colosseum on Coopculture

Posted by on

I am trying to purchase 5 tickets for the Colosseum and also include the underground and upper level tours. I am very confused by the Coopculture site. When purchasing the underground portion should i purchase the ones the include an accredited guide. Some of the selections look as though they are tickets meant for guides and not individuals. Also, is the Panoramic tour the same as the upper levels. Finally, am I correct in assuming I will need to by the underground tickets separate from the the entry ticket to the Colosseum. The website is very confusing with so many different choices. The underground tickets go on sale in a few hours and I am afraid I will purchase the wrong ones.

Thank You!!!!

as you scroll down on the page that lists all the options (on the left side of the page) you will see a small listing entitled: "underground, third ring, and belvedere tours" with a button that says "buy now". Click it.
Then, again on the left, scroll down to the tour offered with the British flag and click "Quarterly availability".
All the instructions you need will be at the top of this page. Scrolling down will allow you to look at the calendar for the quarter coming into availability. You then find the date you want, and click on it. If you scroll down a bit, you will see whether there are any times available on that date. I clicked May 10th. There was no availability...

I assume you're going in May as only tours for that month go on sale tomorrow at 9:00 AM (Rome Time)

If you want the combo tour of the underground and "upper levels" (Belvedere/Panoramic), you want this this one:

If you only want the underground and not the upper tiers, you want this one:

http://ecm.coopculture.it/index.php?option=com_snapp&view=event&id=4F1C6210-F6E1-8B8B-660E-01621FF3E332&catalogid=DFF0D539-2A27-BE72-31A8-016224166BF9&lang=en

These are both guided tours, and you will need to purchase a "Full entrance ticket" (€ 12,00 for adults) in addition to the tour price. You can do that when you book whichever tour you choose or can manage to land (they go very, very quickly).

The option for "groups and individuals with accredited guide" is for independent tour companies so don't use that one.

You do NOT need to purchase entry tickets separately anymore. They have combined the cost of entry with the cost of the tour. Just book the "full entry" tickets. That will be everything you need.
