Ancient Rome and Colosseum (Including Arena Floor) - Our tour guide Mircea Marciu was truly incredible. He's passionate, knowledgeable, happy to answer questions, and made sure to stop at bathrooms and in the shade to give explanations wherever possible. I highly recommend this tour!

We had a good experience... - We had a good experience with this tour. The departure time was respected, but the meeting point was changed (we had been noticed 1 day before, so that was ok in the end). Because we had an English guided tour, you get a device with one time use headphone, so you can hear the guide. It took around 15 minutes to arrive at the locations, it starts at the Roman Forum, then Palatine Hill and it ends with the Colosseum. Our english guide, Massimo, was amazing, very knowledgeable, charismatic and funny, we highly recommend him as a guide! As a downside, because we start at the Roman Forum, and we must follow the guide, you see the most important landmarks but don't get the full experience of visiting the whole place at your own pace, we stayed around 1 hour at the Forum and Palatine Hill. For the Colosseum, the skip the line actually works, we barley stayed in the line and got in very quickly. Our tour started in the Arena, then we go up the stairs (or elevator) to the second floor, while our awesome guide tells us stories about the history of the Colosseum. After the tour ends you get 20-30 minutes alone to take pictures, buy souvenirs and wonder a bit. All in all it was a good experience and we recommend it, but maybe change the order of visiting, to start with the Colosseum, then Forum and Palatine Hill, so you can visit everything and leave when you want.

Bad - Rude staff said it was not his problem when audio did not load on my wife's phone something that was only mentioned after we paid (Thought we would be provided an audio device) Basically given ticket and left to find for yourself.

Terrible Tour. - We were very disappointed in this tour. We received communication with the tour operator for a meeting place and time. In the evening I received an additional communication to meet at a different location. When we arrived at the meeting place our name wasn't on the list. The operator told us they contacted us with What's App, which I don't have. We had to wait one and half hours of our precious Rome time to wait and have breakfast at a nearby location. When we went to check in everything felt rushed. The check in was chaotic. Then the guide started out at an extremely quick pace which I had trouble keeping up with. At the entrance the guide told us to take out our tickets which we were given before the walk. I must have dropped mine on the walk. The guide NEVER told us they were necessary and to keep them in a special place. We thought they were maps. When he found out I lost my tickets he became very angry. He called it in and treated my like a fool and babbling old person. He grabbed all the tickets from the group and gave them to my younger daughter in law. He said "I'm not playing these games all day." The rest of the tour was at an extremely quick pace. At one point I sat on a bench instead of going up a hill and watched many other guides who were giving the tour leisurely pace. We were very upset that we were humiliated and singled out as stupid old people on this tour. It ruined our trip. I had Viator booked with a tour prior to this one and they canceled me. I would have never booked this trip if I knew it was through Viator. In my opinion we were stuck on an additional tour or a new tour. The tour guides sign was not Italy Wonders.

Try and book direct, unless you like over paying for nothing. Don't do it - I paid 3 times the ticket rates for 3 entries into the Colosseum. When booking, it says it included a audio guide tour, nothing was given to us. Ticket pick up location was wrong. Very disappointed that it was so over priced for no guide and not any other perks.
