Unforgettable experience - This was the highlight of my trip to Rome. Our guide was very knowledgeable and brought the stories of gladiators and emperors to life! The tour was well organised with no long queues and the views of the colosseum were spectacular

10/10 would go again!! - Funny and informative tour guide!! He’s able to keep people interested in listening to him speak instead of just looking at the sites.

Amazing tour - Nicely organized and the tour guide was fantastic. The tickets allowed us access to several special sites which was very nice. The tour finished in the Roman Forum so we were able to then walk around as we wished after it ended.

The colosseum is an awesome experience. - It was very informative and the Colosseum itself is amazing. Our guide was witty and wonderful. And “Skip The Line” is the way to go! Highly recommended.

Would recommend and Palatine Hill is a must. - Well organised and very interesting tour. We were keen to visit the Collosseum and it was spectacular but the best part of the tour for us was Palatine Hill so we were so very pleased we included this within our tour. We were in a group of approx 20 so an ideal group size with good audio equipment.

Operators couldn't find... - Operators couldn't find us on the list so we were told to wait to the side.. we waited and waited.. we tried to approach the staff and were told to wait he will come to us. 15mins after our start time we were blamed for not coming to him. Our tour had already left. We had to run to the colloseum from the meeting point to find our tour. Once we did the tour guide gave no useful information on anything, she kept walking off and it was really quick through the colloseum. The roman forum was sped through with no information provided and there was no guided tour of the palintine hill. Would not recommend.
