    We had a group of about 20. Most of us were seniors. Guide was in his early to mid 50s maybe and very proud that he is in good shape. He walked fast; cared nothing that some folks could not keep up and was out of range for the headphones for many. Half of the group left him on Palatine Hill and we waited at the bottom for him and the few that continued the “circuit”. Then he lost several of the group in the Coliseum. It was crowded and while he snaked through several of us lost him.
    He did not read his group. He did not allow for people to ask questions. We were on his agenda. He forgot that he works for his clients, not the other way around. Get rid of that guy. He damaged aviator’s reputation.

    The whole tour was explained incredibly well considering short in time and so much to talk about. The history is just amazing and our tour guide did excellent work with the knowledge.

  3. Sarah_M

    Our guide was very knowledgeable of the sites. Very good tour but very long. Make sure to bring a water bottle with to refill.

    Did the tour with crown. After finding the meeting place everything went smoothly. Started on time. Our guide Lumi was fantastic and witty. The experience was fantastic. Alot of people but Lumi got us through quickly. The arena area was worth a visit. Amazing place full of history. I would recommend to anybody.

    It was ok… some of the people in the tour group got lost and held up the group. When they were finally located, they decided not to complete the tour. Not sure what the problem was but it was frustrating waiting around for them to decide not to return.
    Overall it was ok, very busy. Skipping the line was a nice feature.

    While the colosseum is a must see, this experience was marred, as the tour guide spoke very fast, heavily accented english, and was very very difficult to understand. Additionally, the majority of his commentary was about current day Rome vs the long past history of the historic area we were in. The tour group company itself was organized, clearly telling us where to gather to redeem our voucher. It was just the tour guide in this case that lowered the experience. We would have been better served with a recorded audio historical tour playing vs the tour guide. The tour itself did include skip the line passes that got us in quickly. It is necessary to have your tour guide get you through the colosseum and into the Roman forum checkpoints.
    I would have given this 5 stars if the tour guide would have focused on the past history, and given much more historical information…and spoke slower, and clearly.

    The Gladiator part was cancelled so we did not get the tour we wanted. We could do the classic tour and got refund for the difference (but this is not what we wanted). You have to arrive 30 Mins before the start, are not allowed to „check-in“ 2 mins earlier and there is not toilet at the office. There is not enough time to see all of Palatin hill. The guide was nice and knowledgeable.

    Our tour guide Lumi was fantastic! She was incredibly knowledgeable about not just Colosseum history but even navigating through the crowds and leading us around. We really enjoyed this tour!

  11. Sandra_R

    It was definitely worth the skip the line tickets & our guide was informative and clearly knew a lot about the history of the places we visited. He ensured we got plenty of photo opportunities in less busy spots. We spent most of the tour at the Colosseum but still had time to explore The Forum once the formal tour ended. For an afternoon tour we would recommend not expending too much energy in the morning as the tour is comprehensive.

  12. Caroline_P

    Giuseppe was an amazing guide!!! The tour was perfect and we learned so much history. Book this and avoid waiting in long lines.

  13. Amy_W

    The guide was very knowledge and personable. We enjoyed it tremendously, learned many things and would what to do it again.

    A comprehensive tour. Lumi was a wonderful guide— very witty, knowledgeable and informative regarding the history of the sites. Throughly enjoyed her narrations and the experience. Be prepared for the walking, climbing and heat—bring water.

    I paid for a guided tour that was due to start at 1500. Arrive fifteen minutes early were the instructions. I arrived at 1445 to be told my tour had been brought forward. I had not been contacted to be told this but I wouldn’t have been able to make 1415 due to being committed somewhere else.
    I was still given my ticket and did the tour by myself. Unfortunately whilst incredibly large and impressive you really need the guide to learn and understand the Colosseums history.
    I did ask Allana whether I would receive a refund as I wasn’t getting what I had paid for. She said she needed to speak to her manager and would contact me on WhatsApp the next day. I still haven’t heard anything which is incredibly disappointing.

    An excellent tour of the Forum and Colosseum. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable. The views from the Palentine Hill toward the Colosseum were amazing.

  17. Justina_P

    We enjoyed this tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about her information. A little challenging to find the meeting place so it was good that we went early. Early entrance tickets are definitely the way to go.

  18. Zachary_F

    The tour guide was very knowledgeable, sought questions from the group, didn’t rush, and shared great insights throughout the tour.

  19. Patricia_H

    Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and thorough and we learned a lot. We had a great time!! I would definitely recommend the tour.

  20. Paul_a

    Our guide was outstanding— her knowledge of history was incredible and she had a fiery sense of humor.
    She also was conscious of the needs of the group— water, bathroom needs and safety.
