Visit to Colosseum - This is the perfect tour designed to showcase the Colossuem with access to the arena, the forum and Palantine hill. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable focusing on the history and providing us the time to spend at the main sites. I highly recommend this tour.

Tour with Renata - Renata was great. When the line to enter the forum was very long she quickly decided to take us a long way to get in while explaining the history of the city and we entered through a line without any line whatsoever. She also took us to great views and allowed some free time to explore and take photos. Great tour.

Our tour guide was... - Our tour guide was awesome. He was very knowledgeable and passionate. He was also very patient with the group. The tour was about 3 hours long and full of information. The only experience that was not great was the check-in. I had a hard time finding the group (there was a lot of different groups there) and the instructions where and what to look for were not very clear.

Poor experience - Awful experience tour changed the day before, also time changed, didn’t go into the coliseum as intended and your operator said glad we are not going in there and queuing, she also omitted to take us up to palatine hill even though this was part of our tour, it was a very rushed tour. We ended up rebooking with another tour company for later today at 14:15 to do our own tour in the coliseum and up palatine hill

Very disappointed in our experience - We did not receive a guided tour, even though our ticket said guided tour. When we got there, they scanned our ticket and told us to go on our own. Very disappointed in Viator and think we should be given a refund.

Do NOT book - We recieved a message that the tour needed to be moved to 3:00; however we did not arrive in Rome until 3:30 that day and would not be able to do the tour until 4:30 like originally chosen. I called the company and told them the new time would not work for us. I asked if there was any other later time or if they could just issue us a refund. They told me they would look into a different time before issuing a refund and call me back in 5 minutes. They never called me back. I tried calling multiple times and messaging for hours. Finally, I told them if I did not hear back soon I would be filing a claim with my credit card company. I filed the claim, and that evening they finally messaged me back and said “our colleagues waited for you even beyond 3:00 pm. Were you able to gain access to the Colosseum?”. No we were not, and were not able to get in touch with them for hours after they stated they would call me back. Do NOT book with this tour

Colleseum 2025 - Guide failed to work. There was no skipping the line. Site was over-crowded and a safety hazard. Tour company was not helpful at all.
