Knowledgeable Tour - Took the Underground Coliseum Tour back in April and had an amazing time. Simona, our guide was fantastic and really knew her stuff. I had some background in Roman history so I asked her some curve balls and she really knew her stuff. She was very personable and the group we had was a small group and was able to walk around and get a sense of the grandeur of the Coliseum. Best way to see it, imo. Would recommend.

Recommended - Had a great time. Anita was a super guide, friendly and knowledgeable. She took us exactly to what we wanted to see and more, giving great insight into the sites, how they were developed and by whom.
This was a very enjoyable tour which gave us excellent value and I can only recommend it. We'd certainly do others in the future. Thank you to Anita for giving us a wonderful experience.

Fantastic tour guide - Our family were toured by a lovely knowledgeable and informative guide. We were told all the key points and were shown around some of the most breathtaking sites and views. The tour took around 3 hours and was the right amount of time to see and explore the sights. We particularly enjoyed the tour and the view from Palantine Hill. We would highly recommend it to anyone who would like to learn more about the Colosseum and Ancient Rome in general.

Great Small Group Tour - Anna was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and very engaging. There were only 6 people in our group, so easy to stay together. Saw many interesting sites on Palatine Hill, including ancient palaces, the forums, great views. Anna had so many great insights into what we were seeing. The Colosseum is grand and a site to behold. Although, be prepared for very large crowds. We went the beginning of October, while it was definitely less crowded than summer months, still tons of people. Would highly recommend.

Coliseum tour - Our guide was very good as he lined out the time line of Rome’s progression. Was pleasantly surprised by the Palatine Hill portion and the Colliseum was the obvious highlight.

Beware of multiple issues - We did 2 tours with them - the Vatican and the Colosseum.
First - the good - information about the tour as well as our guide for the Vatican (Valeria) were absolutely spot on. From here it goes downhill through.
We chose their Vatican tour because it said semi-private = maximum 12 people. Well, our tour was 14 people. I am in no way offended to be in a group with 2 more people but their site is misleading and by lying they get customers they would not get otherwise. Buyer beware. And in case they respond to this feedback, I asked them by email why our semi private group had 14 people - their repense was “an emergency situation”, a money emergency I guess.
For the colosseum we were a smaller group. The headsets were terrible (like old Bluetooth headsets, with a hook our the ear that only fit your right ear). It constantly fell out of my ear, by halfway it would cut out, my girlfriend whose hearing is worse in her right ear had to miss half of the guides words.
Our guide was very knowledgeable but her attitude was rather unpleasant. At best she was irritable, and worst disparaging - toward tourists, other participants who missed some information she said. She had a verbal tick that was rather distracting, would cough into the mic and speak low at times and almost scream at others. Our tour was supposed to be 3h but lasted 2.30 on the dot.
There are many companies that organize tours and these guys are not the cheapest. We spent over 780$CAD for the two of us for those two tours. If you don’t want to take a gamble with group size, tour experience and guide look elsewhere.
