Amazing excursion - We booked a 3 night stay in Rome and prebooked our Colloseum, Pallatine Hill and Roman Forum whilst in the UK 🇬🇧 via the Get a Guide app, through Crown Tours. After booking the tickets we were immediately given directions, addresses and all the relevant details of how to enjoy this amazing excursion. We attended the Crown Tours office, were given the listening devices and all details were passed to us. Our parents who couldn't walk the high steps to the office, were allowed to wait by the ground floor metro station, which made the excursion even more comfortable and accessible. Great tour guide, who knew the history and all relevant information We will come to Rome again and will book with Crown Tours again.

Excellent Experience - We had a wonderful tour of the Colosseum and the Roman Forum. Our guide, Arjan, was exceptional, deeply knowledgeable, engaging, and able to explain the history in a way that was both clear and memorable. He kept the pace efficient and thoughtful, ensuring we saw as much as possible without ever feeling rushed. Access to each site was quick and seamless, and we were provided clear instructions at every step so we always knew what to expect. The organization of the tour made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. We would absolutely use this company again for booking experiences when in Rome.

The best way to see the Coliseum - Everything about this was great. Finding our guide was easy, the pace of the tour fit everyone’s ability level and allowed for questions and everyone in the group to see stuff, and there was a broad depth of knowledge behind simply a quick tour. The coliseum and Roman Forum can be seen without a guided tour BUT there is so much you would not understand or appreciate without someone in the know. You only make this trip once or a few times in your life, make the most of it and see it with the help of a knowledgeable and experienced guide. Crown did not disappoint.

Great Guided - Great Company. Great Guides. We did The Colleseum and Vatican with Crown on consecutive days. Our guided JC and Arnold were very good. Made the whole thing come alive with great explanations and anecdotes. The meeting points are easy to find with the directions given and the staff very friendly. Highly recommend

Fast pace. - This is a quick version in a giant area. Good guide but hard to keep up with all the jumps in time on all the stories. The guide has a fast pace. Despite this, the guide only covers a small part of the area's history in these 3 hours.
