Colosseum visit with a guide is better than going alone. - The coordinator on site was great - we got there early but couldn’t find the meeting spot - thought we were on the ground but we were up the next level. Coordinator called us and explained where we had to go.
Our guide Christina was great at explaining the areas of the Colosseum and the Roman Forum. Enough time was allowed for photos with Christina assisting by taking some great shots of us.

Excellent tour, Elizabeth... - Excellent tour, Elizabeth our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about Rome history and the specific monuments. It was great to have palatine hill and the forum included along with the colosseum.

A Tour Fit For A Gladiator - This tour was superb! Christina was a wonderful guide - passionate and very knowledgeable. She made the tour exciting and fun. It was well worth the money and the time - we learned so much more than we ever would have had we toured it by ourselves.

Great tour but not including higher or lower levels - We went to see the gardens first, and then the best for last, which I liked, you go to the arena floor where the gladiator where.
You don't go to the higher levels or the lower levels which is not included.
So much knowledge, which really gives a greater understanding of the history. It's very busy which makes some areas very hot, so bring lots of water.

Do not book - Not an accurate description. 45 min of wasted time - Not an accurate description of this tour at all. It clearly states that this excursion is supposed to last 1 1/2-2 hours. Upon arrival, she tells us it’s going to be 3 hours. we were immediately disappointed because we had another excursion planned for after this and we knew we were going to miss an hour of this experience now.
We did not even actually start the tour of the Colosseum until 45 minutes into our time block and then had to leave early because we had another booking afterwards, which we should’ve had enough time for according to the description of this. So basically, we paid for a full tour and instead got maybe 45 minutes to an hour inside the Colosseum and then had to leave.
Our guide was very informative and we liked her, but were super disappointed that we completely missed the Roman forum and had to leave the Colosseum early in order to make our next booking. You need to update the description accurately of what people can expect and there should be no reason at all that we had to spend 45 minutes standing in line, doing nothing for the first part of our tour including waiting for a bathroom break at the beginning. If someone has to go as part of the group, they should have to do that on their own and not cause the entire group to have to wait for two people.
I would not recommend this tour or company to anyone for the way things were handled and communicated.

Gladiators Arena Tour with Colosseum First Level & Ancient Rome - This was a bate and switch scam! We were supposed to have a tour guide but when we arrived we were told the guide was not coming. We were charged $388.56 for four people but only received an entry ticket valued at 24€ each and no tour.

Seeing the Colosseum,... - Seeing the Colosseum, Palentine Hill and Roman Forum itself was absolutely wonderful. It’s one of the reasons we came to Rome. Unfortunately our guide could barely speak English and we all had an impossible time hearing what she had to say. She talked way too fast even after several people told her to slow down or repeat. If anyone asked a question she would say she was in a hurry and we could come back after the tour was over and see it again on our own. She said this so many times that my husband and I finally left the tour and turned on Rick Steves walking tour. We wernt rushed and we could understand what he was saying. This tour was a disaster and unfortunately we wernt the only ones who felt this way. I wish she spoke better English as that is what we paid for. Its not worth the money we spent
