Entertaining wander through the past - Once we found our guide in the throng of people at the meeting place all ran smoothly. We were taken quickly through security and given an informative and entertaining tour of the Colosseum, Forum and Platine Hill. It was a hot day and our guide was very mindful of the need for breaks and water refills. The whole experience lasted about three hours and was well worth the money. After the tour was over we were free to wander round the Forum at our leisure. There are plenty of restaurants and cafes in the streets outside the exit by Trajan's Markets for those in need of refuelling. Very enjoyable!

An enriching experience - This was our third visit to the Colosseum but the most rewarding as the earlier visits were self-guided. Our guide had a detailed knowledge of history and knew the best photo spots. Highly recommended.

Perfect tour to hear and see the complete history of the Colosseum - Wow what a nice experience we had seeing that majestic building ! WE got the perfect tour and the perfect guide to know and see everything about the Colosseum and all the surrounding at that period in history ! You need to be attentive as you will get a lot and by a lot I mean a ton of information about the history of the place ! Touring the place inside out and seeing were the galdiators were fighting and also be able to see from quite close the underground structure of were they were holding the animals was a nice addition to make that tour even better ! Our guide has been doing that for more than 20 years it was almost as if I lived there in the past. Good job !

So knowledgeable - It was hot it was busy but our guide kept us together and was a book of knowledge and her approach was to trace the story from Colosseum(incld Gladiator Floor) to Romes beginning...well done

In-depth historical tour of the Colosseum and Palace grounds. - Hearing the historical facts and seeing the pictures that the guide provided of what the structures looked like when first built was great. We were able to sit inside the Colosseum and listen as he explained the different seating areas, the underground system, and the entrance for the gladiators.
Our tour guide was Miso. He was very attentive to the children that asked questions.

Great tour - Enjoyable tour and knowledgeable guide. Having a tour really helped me understand the history behind the forum and Paletine hill. Seeing the underground passages of Colosseum was a must see

Would have wished to see more of the inside - Although the tour was very nice we had a lot of trouble understanding our tour guide. She was very knowledgeable but her strong Italian accent made it extremely hard to understand what she was saying. The tour itself wasn’t quite what we expected as we would have wished to see more things

not professional - The place itself is definitely worth visiting. And because we had a guided tour, we could skip the queue. The guide was also not rude. But that's it.
The organization was stressful. First we didn't get the tour we booked because of "technical difficulties". Then we were at the meeting place on time. The guide seemed either tired or incompetent. She missed our names when she read the list of people and told us that "PROBABLY there will be another guide". The other guide at came later than agreed, but without a sign. We just walked around asking random people if they are the guide until we found her. She didn't find our names either and send us back to the first guide who by this time was already handing out the headphones and finally found our names. All of this took so much time that we almost missed our tour.
By this time pretty much everyone in both groups was already annoyed.
Then there was a big family with twin babies in a pram, a pregnant wife and two elderly grandparents who had been told that this tour is wheelchair-accessible. But only a part of the tour is! I felt so sorry for them struggling up and down the palatine hill. Out of the 3 hours, that family could only enjoy 1 hour or so.
The guide barely told us anything interesting. She was on the phone a couple of times, she had trouble with some tickets at the Colosseum entrance, too. Since the other guide also seemed stressed, maybe the agency is just chaotic and overworks their employees. But whoever is at fault, this was not fun. A few days earlier we had a tour with another agency that was so much better. I will not book Tours of Rome again.
