      Worthwhile tour
      RossK, May 2024
      This was an interesting tour. Frederica did a great job, she gave us a lot of history and information about all of the things we saw. She did a good job fitting everything in despite the long wait in line to get through security at the Colosseum. The pace was good, didn't feel rushed and she gave opportunities to take photos, etc.

      The guide was informative and entertaining. The sights were crowded so he took us to a different entrance
      Great morning tour!
      Gregory_M, Apr 2024
      Absolutely incredible sights! This was our first time seeing all of these places and Alessandra was fantastic! She shared so much information but kept it informal and fun. I’d recommend this tour to anyone visiting for first time and wanting a fun yet informative morning.
      Beautiful day touring the Colosseum!

      The Colosseum tour was fantastic! Would highly recommend joining a tour group for sightseeing as the lines can get quite long. The view from Palatine Hill was incredible. Our tour guide was wonderful and very knowledgeable about the history!
      Excellent tour!

      Climbing the very steep stairs in the colosseum. It was also interesting to see the modern shops situated under the arches on the upper levels just as they would have been in Roman times.
      Great tour and excellent guide
      Emily_S, Oct 2023
      Alec was our tour guide for our group tour. He was funny and informational and did a great job navigating the crowd and finding places to pull over and talk. He also gave us a heads up on photo opportunities and gave us time to soak in the surroundings. He was simply fabulous.

      Skip the line Colosseum tour.
      Janine_F, Oct 2023
      2 hour walking tour of Colosseum without having a long wait to enter. Very knowledgeable guide. It was a perfect tour to get acclimated with the area. The meeting point is on viator confirmation with photos so pay attention. We were a little confused at first because it said Roman walkers and it was City walkers sign.
      Awesome tour

      Our guide was very knowledgeable and passionate and made this a good experience for our first tour in Italy. Very glad we took a tour rather than venture on our own.
      Great Tour!

      If you get "Titi" as your guide, you are lucky!
      JennyHowYun_L, Oct 2023
      Titi (I forgot the full name sorry) was a great guide and made sightseeing a lot more interesting than if we would've gone alone to visit the Colosseum. We didn't regret booking the tour at all and it was one of the highlights of our stay in Rome!
      Awesome

      Tour was good. Our guide knew a lot and and brought the Colloseum to life for us. This is bucket list worthy.
      David is an amazing guide
      Sophie_Z, Oct 2023
      David was an amazing tour guide! He was easy to understand (English: British accent), he was engaging and funny, he clearly loves Rome and ancient history and all those things. He was a great storyteller and he made the group of 30+ feel small and intimate. The audio transmitters worked great. David took the time to paint the history with stories, bringing the Colosseum and Forum to life for us. This experience was above and beyond our expectations and we loved it! It was our first ever tour, and David has set the bar high.
      Great visit to the Colloseum and Palatine hill
      Maya_B, Oct 2023
      The group was large, but the visit was well organized. The scope was large and included both colloseum and the palatine hill. If time allows, i would recommend separating the visit into two different days, as there is so much to see! The guide was very interesting and stopped at excellent points inside the colloseum.
      Great tour
      Karen_W, Oct 2023
      John is a very passionate and knowledgeable guide. We liked that it was a smaller group size. The headsets worked out very well.
