Night Tour of Coliseum

I’ve contacted two companies that advertise night tours of the Coliseum but after calling, they don’t show any on their schedule for May 2025. Is it too far ahead to book the night tours?
I also read that on the Walk tours, there’s two different guides that take visitors on the night tour. One guide gets you to the Coliseum & another guide takes over for the tour. When booking through a tour company, is that the same for day tours as well?
The Coliseum has its own guides?
How far in advance can I book a night tours as?
What’s the best company to use for these?
Viator & Walks don’t offer them but maybe it’s too early?
Thanks!

You are WAY too early to book anything at all for May of 2025. Right now the Colosseum itself isn't booking anything out more than 30 days in advance (7 days in advance for night tours). I wouldn't trust any 3rd party site offering tickets at this point for next spring. I'm not even sure Parco Archeologico del Colosseo will offer night tours throughout the winter but we'll see; they didn't offer them until July this year.

Editing to add: I'm not seeing any company outside of the official website currently offering a true after-dark tour. Some of the 3rd-party sites use some fancy language, such as "twilight tour" or "evening tour" but the details reveal that they occur before 7:00 PM during regular public hours, and some as early as 4:00 or so.

This is the tour offered by the official ticketing site for Parco archeologico del Colosseo. Note that the tour is offered only on Thursdays, and tickets were going on sale 7 days prior to each Thursday date.
