    The check in process was good. However our guide was terrible. Half of the time he was talking about logistics and finding shade, the other half he was murmuring to himself. We couldn’t understand what he was talking about. His knowledge about the history was poor. He also managed time poorly. He didn’t give us enough time for taking photos at the palatine hill. We ended up showered up early at the colosseum. This tour completely wasted our time.

    Well organised trip with phone operator to help with meeting point. Guide Willie was very knowledgeable and friendly.

    Alba was a great tour guide. Very informative and was thoughtful with regards to taking breaks as it was a very hot day

  4. Brian_C

    Our tour guide was excellent. She was very knowledgeable on the Colosseum and the Forum. We gained good insight to both sites. Sadly, the intense heat of the day was to much for some of our group and we did leave early

    Our tour guide was so passionate and informative. Loved the experience . She went out of her way to help and guide us and my aging parents. She was truly incredible

    Fast track: Colosseum, Palatine Hill and Roman Forum Tour was too “fast track”. Too much crammed into a few hours. Not good with kids. Hurried and more strenuous than expected, trying to keep up with the guide rapidly going up hills and stairs, often on uneven ground. Ir the palatine were omitted and the pace slowed a bit the tour would be much more enjoyable

  7. Natalie_K

    It was very long, stretched out, the same information was presented over and over again. The whole tour could take an hour and a half. It took almost three hours. Very disorganized. In the beginning they told us that kids must have passports with them, this information was not specified on Viator. I would not recommend this tour to my friends.

    While our guide was clearly knowledgeable and well-meaning, this was not a good tour at all.
    First, we arrived on time (early as recommended) and were sent to the wrong place by one of the tour representatives. When we got to the office where he had sent us, they said we should have stayed where he was, but that by then our group was leaving so they put us in the next group, half an hour later.
    Then the tour itself: It was a hot, sunny day and our guide led us for two full hours around the Roman forum and other sites before ever making it to the Colosseum. She went on and on in a monotone voice, citing names of emperors and places and dates and numbers, all information that was hard to follow and recited as if read from a textbook. She wasn’t engaging or funny or animated and, again, two hours walking in the heat before ever getting to the main attraction. With the crowds, the heat, the fatigue, the staticky headsets, everyone was fed up and it was hard to appreciate that we were finally there. At least half the group left before the end of the tour and in our little group of six we all removed our headsets long before the end because you couldn’t follow half what she was saying anyway. And she went over the time by almost an hour; it was supposed to be and should have been two hours, not nearly three!
    I’ve been on some great tours in the past, with funny, passionate, engaging guides. The guide makes or breaks a tour, and unfortunately this one broke it.

    Our guide was very kind and he was a good shepherd of our group. However, we did not get the exact tour we wanted. We wanted just the fast track tour and instead got the 3 hour tour. We did not need to see the palatine hill. It can be skipped. And the forum tour could be abbreviated. The real show is the colosseum. That is what people really want to see. But I appreciate the tour getting us into these places and skipping the line (sort of-you still have to wait in the group entrance line!). So in short, I’d suggest making the tour a bit shorter and more focused in n the highlights.

    Absolutely fantastic experience and the guide was great. Super informative without being too chatty. I was just super glad to have gotten in to see the colosseum seeing as how difficult it was getting passes.
    The starting organization could use a little work (our time was changed and the meeting spot also changed) but it all worked out in the end. Terrific company and would recommend. 👍👍

    Could not understand the guide at all even though she was English speaking. The Palatine Hill and Roman Forum portion could be skipped, walked through and just read the signs in front of the different items. Once we got into the Colosseum, about ten of us ditched the guide and just wakes through ourselves.

  12. Laura_M

    Very good guide, knowledgeable and nice to be in a tour with. Answers every question and knows how to tell the story.

  13. Roberta_R

    Would highly recommend! Very informative and entertaining tour – Lumi was awesome! Security check line was extremely long for a skip-the-line event but Lumi entertained us and enlightened us during the long wait.

  14. Olya_L

    Unprofessional guide with very limited amount of information, poor presenting skills and strong Italian accent where half the words were impossible to understand.
    There were so many other tour groups around where the guides were so enthusiastic, energetic and passionate about the presentation. We felt that we were robbed of this experience. It is almost impossible to make Roman history, Colosseum sound boring but that is exactly how it sounded from the very limited, flat presentation that we had. We left 40 min into the tour and other people I think have also left. We contacted the tour operator, they promised to look into this but nothing.

    Enjoyed our experience with Guisseppe.
    He made the tour smooth sailing and bright the experience to life with his story telling and pictures. Well prepared, caring and considerate, friendly and made sure everyone was taken care of.
    Thanks!

    The tour is 3 1/2 hours but was smooth and well done. The Colosseum is always packed so booking the tour is the best way to move around while inside.

  17. Sharon_E

    Our guide, Diana, was excellent! Her knowledge and enthusiasm helped us understand, visualize and feel the history of this amazing place.

  18. Alice_S

    Guide had a heart for the tour but his English wasn’t understanderable for the English speaking people. Surely you can find tour guides that speak better English.

  19. charu_b

    Everything about the tour was good but we got robbed of our phone so beware of pickpockets………………there is hardly any police to be seen surrounding the colosseum

  20. Jessica_R

    The guide was so fun and knowledgeable. She kept us entertained while she taught us so much about the sites.
