    Does not include access to floor. Tour guide spent too much time at the top of the hill and not enough in the forum.

    This was an absolute lie! There was nothing VIP or superior about this tour. We were supposed to start at the Colosseum and enter through the gladiator gate as clearly described in the descriptions of this tour however, our tour guide took us straight to palatine hill, where we wandered for the first two hours Before making our way to the Colosseum for only a 30 minute tour at the end, having waited 30 minutes to go through security. This was clearly not fast track access. Our tour was scheduled to start at 9:30 and we didn’t make it to the Colosseum until 1130. We did none of the gladiator part of the Colosseum only the top levels and not even the arena. Beyond disappointed and disgusted with this tour and lo and behold when I tried to call to complain and get my money back, the phone just rings and rings with no answer, even after 20 minutes! Hopefully this review will save some people their money to avoid this fake VIP Colosseum experience.

    Great tour! Fabulous guide with great knowledge and passion. She brought the tour to life from the pages of history

    Barbara was brilliant. Super engaging, informative and approachable. She really brought our tour to life, despite the less than glamorous weather we encountered that day. Full of knowledge and little facts that would have gone unnoticed had we done this tour on our own. We would not hesitate to recommend her for anyone looking to do this tour in the future!

    We had a great tour led by our very energetic tour guide, Barbara! I learned a ton and it was the perfect length tour (3 hours). There was lots of walking (up steps too) and a few bathroom breaks but a chance to sit in the colosseum at the end. Would recommend to anyone wanting to tour the forum, palatine hill, and colosseum!

  6. M_R

    Very knowledgeable tour guide. Palentine Hill and the forum were really amazing. However the Colosseum was much too rushed. I think if the tour company advertised to bring water and one bathroom break half way, we would have saved at least 20 minutes of our 60 minutes there. We couldn’t look at any of the artifacts there as we ran out of time. Otherwise it was great.

  7. Peter_P

    Barbara, our guide, was so informative, entertaining, and compelling (outstanding!). The tour was exactly what we wanted and the fact that she took us back in time into the mindset and the reality of the era was a bonus. Highly recommend.

    Susana was such a knowledgeable and fun guide! My family (including 12 and 14 year old) really enjoyed learning about and walking through the Colosseum, Palatine Hill and Roman Forum. We got to go on the floor of the Colosseum and to the top for different viewpoints. You might want to go back and explore some parts of Palatine Hill more later but all the history Susana gave us brought it to life and makes it so much more meaningful than reading about it and walking by. Thank you for a fun tour!

    Our tour was with Barbara who was fantastic! She had tons of knowledge as made the tour a lot of fun. She kept us moving at a good pace but made sure we had time to enjoy and get good pictures. We did the early tour which I would recommend because the crowds were a little less. I’ve been to these locations before WITHOUT a guide and the guide is WELL WORTH IT.

  10. Heather_D

    Fe (Felicity) was a great guide! Animated, enthusiastic and knowledgeable! Encouraged questions and gave detailed info without being boring!

  11. Steven_S

    Incredible. The history, the architecture and stories. Worth the time. It’s crowded so plan for that.

  12. Stephanie_K

    Tour was good and guide Alessandro was very knowledgeable. Rating only two stars because our floor portion of the tour was cancelled and no other floor option given because they ‘oversold’ the tour. This was the part we were looking forward to the most

  13. Deborah_S

    Our tour guide was so knowledgeable, engaging and super lovely. My husband and I, and our two young boys really enjoyed the tour of the Colosseum, Forum and Palatine Hill.
    Everything ran efficiently and as per the instructions. We highly recommend.

  14. Peggy_H

    Crowds, crowds, and more crowds. Even promised small groups were anything but small. Radio communication not good. Difficult to understand voice.

  15. Larry_S

    Great tour, doesn’t include floor of Colosseum but has additional sites after Colosseum. Guide was great! Carpe Diem tour and Viator were as advertised and did an awesome job!

  16. Jackson_N

    Barbara was a perfect guide. The tour could not have been better. Incredibly comprehensive. Barely any lines.

  17. James_B

    Guide was wonderful. Full of interesting facts and a bit humorous at times. Saw everything we wanted and had fun.

  18. Elizabeth_G

    Barbara was amazing – extremely informative and a wonderful storyteller. She kept our family 100% engaged at all times. And watched out for and cared for every person on the tour, even through extremely crowded areas and severe downpours during thunderstorms. I recommend her and this tour!!!

  19. Jean_C

    Andy was a terrific guide, knowledgeable and humorous. We learned a great deal from him, he knew the history.

  20. GiGi_N

    I enjoyed listening to all about the small little details and of course the history I can really picture it in my head, Paolo was an amazing tour guide he went above and beyond to make sure we got the most out of our day even with the pouring rain it was so easy to just give up and leave but the tour was 100% worth it. I would definitely recommend this all my friends and family, and after the tour even gave us a guide of where to go eat and shop very helpful.!!!
