Would recommend a guided tour for all of the insights into Roman life - Such a lot to see in the time given. Palantine and Forum should not be missed and walk to the top of Palantine for great views. Our guide Patricia was very knowledgeable and we got more out the experience with a guide than we would on our own. One thing to mention is the directions on the google link take you to the upper area of the metro and the meeting point was on the street level......we almost missed the tour because of it despite using the link provided by viator. Having not been there before we didn't realise the significant of the upper and lower level. An experience not to be missed.

Beautiful, mind boggling and educational - Being in the arena. Also, taking the elevator up to view the Colloseum from high above the arena, we were just on. Feola(Spelling)was wonderful! Took good care of us and enlightened us above the Fourm, the Pale tine Holl and Colloseum!

Amazing tour of the Colosseum, Forum, Palatine Hill - Christina was a lively, energetic, and supremely entertaining guide. She brought the tour and ruins to life with her excellent knowledge of history and the stories of gods, emperors, senators, vestal virgins, gladiators, and the people of Ancient Rome. This is the best historical tour we’ve ever taken and Christina was the best guide we have ever had. Magnifico!

It Was Nice - Our guide Christine was amazing. I think she probably lived in Ancient Rome. Had we gone to Colosseum on our own, we wouldn’t have any idea what we were looking at. A ruin such as this deserves a detailed tour.

Best Tour with Christina - The morning of our tour was cloudy and windy which was just fine with us as it was so hot in Rome while we were there. Our tour guide, Christina is an archeologist and was very knowledgeable. We didn't feel rushed at all and were able to spend good quality time taking it all in and getting some great photos. Worth the price.

3 hours of standing and walking - The tour guide attempted to pivot in 100 degree weather. I just think it’s too much activity for the very young and they older folks or those with mobility issues

The most AWFUL experience ever! - This was our anniversary day and we unfortunately had a horrible taxi driver and didn’t arrive until less than 10 minutes late but the tour gatherer refused to give us our entry tickets until she got “authorization” and by that time it was an hour past. She said, “here you go. Here are your tickets. I don’t know if they will let you in since so much time has passed but good luck.”
Well, this was the only thing my husband wanted to do and we didn’t get to do it. It totally ruined our day. Standing in the hot sun for an hour as we see her taking tour after tour and not accommodating us. Then, we FINALLY get just the tickets to go inside and since now so much time has passed, they did not let us in.
Do not use this company! I will never ever use this tour company and will never forgive them for ruining our anniversary. I didn’t mind missing the tour, but they could’ve just given us our tickets right away. Horrible customer service too that has no feelings or empathy at all!
