Alec (Baldwin!) was intelligent, charming, and helpful. Grazie! Nothing more to add. (I’m sorry, Alec, you were great, but Viator is insisting I add nonsensical words.)

Nicole_L, Nov 2023
The express tour was anything but express. Couldn't understand guide over the radio headsets they give you- we had to leave 2 hours in because guide was fumbling around. Did not get the experience we paid for.
Great!
Susanne_J, Nov 2023
The guide was good and engagerad. The tour was informative and it was easy to understand. Suited our teenager as well. The tour was cirka an hour and a half.
Great guided walking tour
avilhauer, Oct 2023
Thanks Victor for letting us join another group after we had gotten lost getting there..our tour guide was absolutely amazing and was able to add some comedy into our tour which was great considering that the history of the Colosseum is very morbid My husband and I learned so much and we're able to get some amazing pictures. I would definitely try this tour to anyone who is interested in learning more about the Colosseum and time period.
Informative & entertaining
Laura_S, Oct 2023

David was the best tour guide
Eseosa_B, Oct 2023
If you have an opportunity to book this tour with David please do He is fantastic Made the tour so fun and interesting, almost didn’t notice we had been walking for over 2.5 hours The skip the line is very worth it and so is the information wrapped in earnest humour provided by David 10/10 Also tip your guide!!!

Brilliant Tour Guide
Leanne_E, Sep 2023
Our tour guide (Alisandra) was fantastic. She really made the tour for us and clearly had a passion for what she was doing. Having visited the Colosseum before without a tour guide, this experience made it 10 times better!
Radu star tour guide!
Angela_f, Sep 2023
We had Radu for our tour guide and he was so awesome. We had our kids aged 8 & 11 and he managed to keep them engaged the whole time. He was so funny but also had great knowledge. Really glad we had him as our tour guide
Excellent, would highly...
Giulia_T, Sep 2023
Excellent, would highly recommend to anyone visiting Rome especially if it’s for the first time. Our tour guide, Roberta, helped bring the history of the Flavian Amphitheater to life. Thank you!
Great tour with Alex!
Renee_S, Sep 2023
We had a great time! Alex was an excellent tour guide, we were captivated by his storytelling. We really did get to skip the long line for individual visitors, which made it much quicker and easier. We would definitely recommend this tour.

The Colosseum with a guide
Ljmallen, Sep 2023
A very informative and interesting tour with a good mix of facts and opportunities to take photos from good vantage points. With so many people I was glad I went on the tour, rather than by myself! Just the right amount of time to really appreciate the Colosseum.

Colosseum tour

Great tour
Linda_C, Aug 2023
The guide was very knowledgeable and the tour was excellent! Highly recommend this tour. Started on time and guide provided many vantage points for pictures.
Not on time, hard to reach, long wait.
Arabella_G, Aug 2023
Even with the purchase a slip the line ticket, the line was still long (an hour). Place of meeting wasn’t clear, I had to ask the person in the colloseum who directed me to the specific location. Guide was friendly but hard to understand. I texted and called to find the exact meeting place but no one answered. So communication wasn’t good. There’s lots n lots of people in the tour and they didn’t start on time.
Not a FAST TRACK tour
Joseph_P, Aug 2023
They call this tour FAST TRACK it’s a real joke. It took over 1 hour to get in. You are better on your own. It does not speed the process.
