Wonderful tour and awesome tour guide ( Mia ) - our family loved it ! - Thank you Mia for an unforgettable tour! You had a great knowledge of the colliseum history. You were very patient ( and helped them ) with another family with two young children . You helped my wife in working with her in sign language- I would recommend this tour for future tourists!

Highly recommended underground tour to understand hat you are looking at later… - The colosseum underground tour is a tour you have to do to understand the place Colosseum. Otherwise you are looking at a ruïne and think “ok, nice….but this is just a ruïne”. It is a very nice and interesting tour. Nothing difficult, but very useful to look at the construction later on….Highly recommanded….

Great, energetic guide. - Our guide Sandro was excellent, very passionate and informative, it was difficult in 34 degrees but he did a great job. Guided tour was about 1 hr, then you wander around the colosseum without the guide and the ticket permits entry into roman forum and palatine Hill (without guide)

Rushed - I felt like the instructions on the meeting location was very confusing causing us to be late. Then the over tour was super rushed. I didn’t appreciate our tour guides overall presentation. I would not book the late one if we go again.

There was more time spent... - There was more time spent making sure the group was together. It should be the responsibility of the person on tour to keep up rather than it feeling like an elementary school event. The guide seemed a little scattered and could have made the experience more engaging. Could have read everything she was saying g. We want to hear the good, the bad, the ugly.

Could find a better tour - The guide, Giovana, started the tour about 1 hour late with our 19 people waiting for the last 2 persons to show up for the tour. She then seemed to rush during the tour and we ran out of time to see Palentine hill. She never gave us our tickets to visit Palentine hill which then took another 1/2 hour to arrange. She also had an anti-Christian belief on atleast 3 items from the tour, which she repeated 3 times each and stated these as facts. For example, she described multiple times that the arc of the covenant was represented by a rectangle on the arch of titus. And therefore it was stolen by the Romans in 70 AD and is now hidden in the Vatican or maybe somewhere else.
