Scammer. Do not use. - This tour noted they could get day of entry tickets. This is false. Then they attempted to contact us hours in advance noting they couldn’t get us in. Plus, the use What’s in Italy tours on their ticket. We met directly with What’s in Italy tour owner who said this is a known scammer. We WILL get our money back by disputing the charge. Don’t attempt to book with this company for short turn around tickets! Just go directly to the Colosseum ticket office to obtain at cost same day tickets.

Unreliable. I am thankful my tour was saved by another company. - No representative from the company was at the site at the time or location. Luckily these small operators look out for each other and another small operator added my son and I to another tour (at no additional cost to me - I guess they will seek a reimbursement from the operator I signed up with). It was almost a complete disaster and we had to wait in the heat for an extra hour. I am not impressed...

Extremely Upset - We found out there was a national holiday in Rome that day and the coliseum entry was free. Tried to contact tour operator who did not answer. The day of the tour we could not make it to the coliseum due to road closures For a parade. Tried again to contact the tour operator. NO ANSWER again. Repeatedly tried to contact that we could not get to the coliseum. NO ANSWER!!! Missed the tour. Still no answer! I’m so upset. I’ll probably never be in Rome agiain and I was looking forward to this tour!!

Book somewhere else - Tour operator wasn’t there so we didn’t get to go on the tour. We called and spoke to someone who was supposed to investigate and we have yet to hear back. Was told 72 hours. Terrible experience, book somewhere else!

A waste of time - We waited more than 2 hours for our tour to start. We bought “ Skip the line” But had to wait in three lines, one to get our ticket, one to show our ticket and the last one for them to scan our ticket before we actually went through security. This tour was a bust!
