Wonderful
Anonymous, Apr 2024
Our guide was wonderful! She was knowledgeable and friendly. We had to leave a little early to get to another tour and she was very accommodating and helpful about telling us how to get to our next spot quickly and easily,
Disorganized tour guide and bad jokes
Michael_P, Mar 2024
The sites are absolutely amazing, you should certainly do a tour, just not this one. Guide was very disorganized, we had to double back multiple times. She screwed up our tickets, and so we did not get the floor tour, just second level of the Coliseum. She also made jokes i found borderline offensive, making unwarranted assumptions about peoples sexuality and religion. It was so bad some people left in the middle of the tour, i wish i left with them. She was very knowledgeable in history, but not a good presenter. Pick a different one.
Great tour

Alessandro was very knowledgable and informative. He was patient with the group and engaging. Learnt lots about the forum and ancient Rome
Worst tour in over 25 years of traveling.
Julian_L, Feb 2022
Guide arrived 10 minutes after the tour was supposed to start. Was confused about the length of the tour and what destination was included. He knew a lot of history but But mostly translated Latin into English. The guide was very disorganized and kept going the wrong way through the Palatine Hill. Shortly after we arrived in the Roman Forum.staff told our guide that we had to leave in 15 minutes. We never received a tour of this area he just said the tour was over and collected the radios. I have taken a lot of tours in my life a this you was definitely the worst one ever!
Very good guide.

The tour guide was very well educated for the job and friendly. The guide led us to beautiful views everywhere.
Not what we expected
Juliet_B, Jul 2021
Colloseum tour for 1 hour and then Forum Romanum for 15 minutes. The guide had no time to show us the Palentine hill because he had another tour planned so we had to go there alone unfortunately. Nice guide, but the tour is not worth 50 euros. Total tour was 1,5 hour while the description said 2,5 hours.
Response from Host, Aug 2021
We really apologize for inconvenience and we are extremely sorry that the guide gave such an excuse and didn’t do the full tour of the Roman forum. And once again we are really sorry and we make sure these things will not happen in the future
Incredible History
Monique_Z, Jul 2021
Our tour guide was very knowledgable and it was clear that he had a passion for the history of this place. We learned a lot. The only disappointment was that our guide did not stay with us to show us around Palatine Hill and the Roman Forum. He gave us a quick overview and left us to explore it on our own. It was still a wonderful experience, but it is always more interesting when you have someone knowledgable pointing things out along the way. We were also very fortunate to be one of the first few groups to enjoy touring the Colosseum since the lockdowns have been lifted. It was wide open and easier to get good pictures and walk through the entire place.

Must see tour
Jane_G, Feb 2020
This tour is definitely a must see. Great tour around the Coloseum with free time afterwards. The Paltine Hill and Roman Forum was a very informative tour with excellent tour guide. Make time for this experience.
