Large group- access to first and second levels - The group had 20 people- which I swore the tour was listed as “semi-private” with max of 12. Also we showed up 30 minutes early to check in- thankfully! Since when we arrived they told us we “made it just in time since they were starting early”. But the tour itself was great - just the right length for our teenagers.

Average - Forum and paletine hill was not included with guide. The tickets were given to us to find our way solo. And the colosseum part was so-so.

Very disappointing - One of our group struggled with heights and tour guide was quite rude about it. During the tour the guide walked off a number of times and made it difficult to keep up / find her. The guide was very keen to leave as soon as possible and didn’t wait to guide us out. We have done many tours this week but this one has been disappointing.

Horrible and super expensive not worth the money - Avoid this tour at all cost. We paid 220€ for a tour that was supposed to last 1h30 and only lasted 45 minutes. We were two adults and two children. They made us pay full price even though the children didn’t use the audio guide as they don’t speak English. We found out when we got there that it is actually free for the children to enter the coliseum, so we actually paid 220€ for two adults which is insane. They never explained this to us even though we did tell them the age of the children ahead of time. The tour guide was in a really bad mood and quite rude, some people of the tour left after 10 minutes because of him. He was really angry if you asked questions he felt were stupid. It was terrible.

Disappointed.. not worth the money. - This was not a semi private tour.. close to 30 people or so. The tour lasted less than an hour. This was not at all as advertised and not worth the money. Palatine Hill and the Roman Forum were to be included in the price… they told us at the end of touring the Colluseum ..times of when we could do the tours of Palatine Hill and the Roman Forum the next day… not ideal and chose to forego this as we already had plans… for the next day. No tickets were given just times. Entire family was disappointed in the tour for the money spent. Asked for a refund was denied … didn’t even provide a partial refund. The tour description given and what was provided was not accurate. The cost of the tour was not in balance with the tour provided. Incredibly disappointed, was supposed to be a memorable experience …was but for the wrong reasons.

Scammed and no help - This is a complete scam, showed up at 3pm and was denied the tour. Told me to come back at 5.. denied again. The tours are 40+ people, not 12. Viator is letting companies blatantly lie and steal your money with no support.

Not a semi private or small group - Booked semi private for more personalized experience. Description read 12 people or less and we were over 40 people . Requested a refund and they denied it. Reason of denying request was “what did you expect”
