Great value! - This company was well worth it! Because of them, we were able to slip the long lines of people at the Vatican ( because there are..) and walk right in to go wherever we wanted! It allowed for more time not only to enjoy all the sites and make for great experiences, but allowed for us to utilize the best possible times for all our plans!

Informative Forum Tour - The most significant aspect of this tour was the guide. She was cordial, professional, informative. She covered a lot of territory, geographically and historically. These are not inexpensive tours, but they are worth the price if you want to hone in on the details which are not provided in a self-guided tour. Our weather was awful, and the walking can be a challenge. So, wear good footwear. We opted for this tour one day and the Colosseum the next. For seniors with limited energy, we highly recommend, as there is a great deal of walking uphill and downhill.

Something fishy - In the future I will book through a tour company directly as this tour was not an organized stand alone tour and the original tour company Whats In Italy Tours sold our tour to Crown Tours. We were asked to join an already in progress tour but had to wait for an hour and then had to join yet another group as our original crown tours was still not ready for us to join them. I will always just book with an original tour company as Viator should be reviewing and verifying these tours they advertise.

Pick another Company! - The guide was very good. However the company itself was terrible, dishonest and disorganized. They sold us tkts for a time that didn’t exist. We had to wait for an hour and a half to join another group and got shorted on the informative tour as a result.

Unorganized. Not worth the money. - Disappointed in this tour. Booked this tour because of the early start time of 9:00 am. Was contacted by Ali the day before to push back arrival to 11:10 am. Had to call Ali because guide still hadn’t arrived by 11:25. Finally entered the tour site at 11:45 am. Was not able to spend adequate time on the tour due to another commitment in the afternoon. The only good thing was skipping the line. We felt that this tour was unorganized and not worth the money. Would not recommend.

Roman disappointment - Not good. The guide did not show and Viator has not accepted to reimburse us. The guide , by the name of Ali, stated when questioned by Viator, that we did not show up! It could not be more disappointing and frustrating. You simply are powerless.

Very Disappointed - This appears to be a bait and switch. I booked this tour because we had seen the Colosseum enough, wanted to focus solely on the history of the Forum and Palatine Hill, and because the tour promised a max number of 15 people. Instead, Ali took us to Crown Tours, told us we would be part of one of their large tour groups (25 folks if not more) visiting the Forum and Colosseum, and then disappeared. The tour itself was basic and the guide spoke mainly about the Colosseum. The tour in the Forum consisted mostly of moving to a few spots in the center area with the tour guide pointing randomly at a various ruins and buildings while keeping up a stream of trivia and non sequiturs. You can do better.

Guide was a no show - The guide didn’t show up. We got a partial refund but still very disappointing. This was not worth the money.
