Amazing experience - Really enjoyed the Colosseum tour ,it was well organized and never felt rushed, which made a big difference given how busy it can get. A special mention to our guide, Mery. She explained things in a simple and clear way, without overloading us with information, and added interesting details that you wouldn’t catch on your own.

Attilio brought the Coliseum to life! - Attilio made us feel like we were part of those days; such fun! He also gave lively, interesting descriptions of the actual Coliseum and the ancient buildings around it. A truly good time!

Not recommended, poor service - I don’t recommend this service. Our guide was late so we ended up missing half the tour. We were rushed through the Foro, we could all barely keep up and we couldn’t access the Domus Tiberiana - the guide said she didn’t know it closed at 4pm (how could she not know that?) and just kind of waved it off saying there wasn’t much to see anyway. We then got to the Colosseum, which was amazing but since she was late (Marcia I think her name was) we ended up not being able to go to the Palatino afterwards. We could barely understand what she was saying and just overall wasn’t a good guide. The Gladiator YouTube music played though the mic was really cheesy and what she was saying sounded like a parrot fashioned script unvaried since the 80s. Attilio (the other tour guide who accompanied us through the Colosseum) was really nice and knowledgeable in all fairness (and he was the one who actually showed up on time). However I feel this was way too much for a poor and disorganized tour - I feel like I paid over one hundred bucks to see the Colosseum and to be rushed through the Foro (and not even see all of it) plus miss the Palatino. You could tell they were trying to cover it up but I would have appreciated it more if they would have just been honest with us instead of disappearing and leaving us inside the Colosseum before we could figure out we couldn’t then go to the Palatine as per the itinerary. I’m giving one star since I complained privately asking for an at least partial refund which I think was fair all things considering (especially the fact that I am considering buying tickets to go again to view these sites properly) and they refused.
