Worth the money - Our family had an amazing tour of the Colosseum and Roman forum. The experience was amazing, and our guide, Viola, made it even better. She was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and brought the history of the Colosseum to life with her storytelling. Highly recommend this tour, and especially Viola!

Amazing Tour - This tour was pretty good! Getting queued at Crown was fairly disorganized, but our guide was AMAZING. We had missed her name because the check-in person had sent us to the wrong que and we missed her introduction. Once she found us, everything was perfect. She effectively used down times (waiting for traffic lights, slower people to catch up, etc) to deep dive interesting facts on what we could see and provide details of the history. We had 2 elderly people in our group and our guide made great accommodations so they could still participate. Overall great experience; just know they aren't kidding about showing up 30 minutes early to check in

Disappointed - The lady who was giving the tour was very slow and hard to understand as she was unsure of what she was saying with her Constant stutter! Ended up leaving the tour and going ourselves.
