All round excellent! - Tour was excellent and guide was passionate. She covered more than I anticipated with an express tour. We saw the major sites and she introduced the Roman Forum. Would definitely recommend!

Loved City Walkers Tour! - David…Thank you so much for the tour today. I had no idea it would be so detailed. The title on Get Your Guide said “express” in the title and that it would be 1 hour. It was amazing! David gave us so much history and it was done in a relaxed, relatable manner. It redeemed Rome for me since the previous was crazy at the Vatican.

Excelent tour - They say the tour is express what should mean fast, but we were more then 1hour walking around the colosseum. The guide was very attentive to the group and very storytelling. After the colosseum she walked us through the Romano forum and palatine.

Alec (Baldwin!) was... - Alec (Baldwin!) was intelligent, charming, and helpful. Grazie! Nothing more to add. (I’m sorry, Alec, you were great, but Viator is insisting I add nonsensical words.)

Crowded but a good guide - Radu, the tour guide was excellent. As always the colosseum is crowded but our guide tried to manuver our small group away from the crowds.

Not worth the effort in peak season. - Arrived 20-30 minutes early as asked. Took about 1.5 from that time to actually enter colosseum. Tour organizers clearly identified and great to work with. Security lines cannot be avoided. Could barely hear the tour guide from one ear headphones. Strong accent and execessive background noise. We booked an express tour but got put in the full tour including the Roman forum (which we separated from before entering). Didn’t even make a circle around the inside of colosseum. Kids completely bored and exhausted from heat and lines. Wasted time for a single picture inside. Skip this and see frm outside.
