Super tour with Francesca! - Our trip to the Colosseum and Roman Forum was incredible. The meeting point was easy to find. Easy and quick access into both attractions. Our guide Francesca was brilliant! She was very knowledgeable and shared just the right amount of information with us, while allowing us to take in the sights and take pictures. She was very friendly and put us at ease in a new place with new people. We loved knowing what we were looking at! Thank you! Couldn’t recommend this tour enough :)

Must do, no regrets! - Wonderful experience. The tour guide staff, super amazing, and on time at the place of indication. They took us to the different sites where we had free time to explore on our own.

Poor experience - We did not enjoy this tour and left with more questions than we started with. Our guide was very kind but was not very informative and rushed through locations. We left after he failed to provide really any info at Cesars Palace

Dont use this company, they are scammers - Absolutely Horrible - Terrible staff and customer service. We were treated unprofessionally and aggressively by staff, a complete waste of money.

Tour never took place - Unfortunately, the operator made a mistake and didn’t notify us they couldn’t do the tour that day. We were waiting there, no email or call. I had to call them and pay international phone rates to find out what was going on We missed out on the experience-Brent told us to just go and stand in line and wait instead. The whole purpose of getting a skip the line and guided tour was to avoid it. The lines were extremely long as it was a free day and already noon at that point and we couldn’t wait. Otherwise, we would have planned to be there earlier. There should be more attention to detail-don’t send tickets and confirmation if you can’t do the tour. Pretty disappointed.

Caution - We waited through the long security line with our guides and group only to get to the end and have the staff deny our group entry because our guides did not have licenses. Our guides argued for 1.5 hours while we waited in the hot sun and we finally had to go get our own tickets for entry. I still have not heard anything about refunding our money after I emailed them. Also our guide tickets included the Forum but our new tickets did not so we never got to see it

Bad bad bad - Don’t book here! Colosseum didn’t allow our group inside because the company was unprofessional. After waiting for 1 hour the police came and it started to get redicilous. The company told us that they will refund our money. Didn’t hear anything afterwards.

Awful waste of time - We arrived 30mins before the booking time at 11am. It was 34 degrees therefore very very hot. There were long lines but the agent said it takes about 15mins to go through security. At 11:30am we joined the line for security which was moving however when we got to the front we were not allowed in but asked to wait. The operator did not have a licensed tour guide with the group therefore we were not allowed to enter. Communication to us was poor and we stood in the sun waiting patiently. The agent advised us that they would sort it out and found a guide but then too long had passed and the entrance time had lapsed. It was an awful experience as we are on holiday with limited time and wasted 2hrs trying to get it. Not to forget that tickets are double the price of what the official site sells them for. The reseller was Atlas Tours and I will definitely not recommend them to anyone for use. Even though we were promised a refund, the inconvenience was not worth it and time wasted where we could of been doing other things than standing in the sun. The agents Cindy and David were also not helpful with communicating with us and stood at a point where we could not reach them to speak to. When asked to speak to David he seemed to have no them for us and instead said he needs to go speak to the officials about the problem and ran away from disappointed clients as to not deal with the problem and feedback from us.
