    Good but felt rushed.
    Lisa_L, May 2024
    Good tour-it was the only tour I could find that did not cancel. Colosseum tickets are hard to get in high season. I’m glad we did this one because the Catacombs were very interesting. The guide at the Catacombs was from the Catacombs and it was about 20 people. The tours are at the top on the hour and you need to get in line, otherwise you’ll be standing there for another hour. Our guide at the Colosseum was okay. It felt rushed and we did not get to go on the colosseum floor. Our tour was the guides 3rd tour that day and she had one more after ours. It was busy and it was not even “high”season. I’d try to go November through March to avoid the massive crowds.
    Great views of Colosseum and Forum, skip the Catacombs

    Great views of the Colosseum and Roman Forum. After the Colosseum tour, we meet back at the initial spot and a private car is waiting to take us to the Catacomb (I suppose the number of people going will depend on the size of the car you will see). Look closely for someone holding a sign with your name. The Catacomb tour was not entirely impressive; no photos and videos allowed in the catacombs.
    Great tour, organized, worth it!

    My husband and I came on the tour for our honeymoon and it was amazing! We are both history and culture lovers and this tour really impressed us. We had a wonderful time and our guide was incredibly knowledgeable. One important note- there was a host the organization has at the meeting point to check everyone in, and he was a critical part of making everything smooth. His name is Bijenn, and he was absolutely amazing. We felt so comfortable during the check in and tour transfer from the colosseum to the catacombs. He was so friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Him being there made all the difference for us. Instead of running around looking for what to do next like other companies may have you do, we had him to care for us! Thank you, Bijenn!
