Booked a specific date, time, and guided tour of the Colosseum. It got changed to a different day and time, and the ticket was downgraded to a self-guided entry. Paid for a guided tour and received basic entry on a different day and time.
Dear Valued Customer, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that the changes made to your booking caused disappointment and frustration. We completely understand how upsetting it must have been to book a specific guided Colosseum tour and then receive a different date, time, and self-guided experience instead. Unfortunately, schedule modifications and tour adjustments can occasionally occur due to operational constraints or availability changes imposed by the monument authorities. However, we sincerely regret that the alternative provided did not meet the expectations created at the time of booking. We understand your concern regarding the difference between the guided experience you paid for and the self-guided entry you ultimately received. Your feedback is extremely important to us and will be reviewed internally to help improve communication and transparency with our guests. If you would like us to review your booking in more detail or share any additional suggestions, please contact us directly at tous@toursofrome.info — we would be happy to assist you personally. Kind regards, The Tours of Rome Team
A few days prior to our VIP Coliseum Tour we were notified that the tour would be unable to operate as scheduled. We were offered an immediate full refund or partial refund to accept an alternative tour. We opted for the alternate option, the only difference being, no live guide. Tours of Rome informed us someone would meet us outside the coliseum to receive our tickets and information about the newly reserved itinerary. Enrica was the guide who met us. She was delightful, gave us our tickets and also walked around the outside of the coliseum sharing entrance information and the best way to make the most of our visit in Palintine Hill and the Roman Forum. Although we would have preferred having her the entire time as a guide, we really appreciated her efforts of setting us up for an easy and unforgettable experience. Once the tour was complete, our partial refund was applied back to the original FOP without any follow-up requests from us. We really appreciate the communication, updates and follow-ups offered by Tours of Rome!
Amazing, best information you can get from our tour guide Mido. It was a travel back time trough ages
Kristina our guide arrived promptly was very knowledgeable and a pleasure to deal with. The Colleseum itself was a sight to behold and well worth the visit. A truelly enjoyable experience
Christina is an amazing guide. Her stories made the experience come alive. I felt like a gladiator in the arena and could really sense the excitement and roar of the crowd.
Christina was very knowledgeable. So much info about the history of the Colosseum, Palatine and Roman Forum.
Very informative. Highly recommend it. Didn’t feel rushed and she understood english very well. Love our tour guide, Cristina.
Such a lot to see in the time given. Palantine and Forum should not be missed and walk to the top of Palantine for great views. Our guide Patricia was very knowledgeable and we got more out the experience with a guide than we would on our own. One thing to mention is the directions on the google link take you to the upper area of the metro and the meeting point was on the street level......we almost missed the tour because of it despite using the link provided by viator. Having not been there before we didn't realise the significant of the upper and lower level. An experience not to be missed.
Christina was excellent! Would do it again in a heartbeat. Interesting and engaging and well worth it!
Our guide was fantastic. Very easy going and knowledgeable. The tour was thorough and we learnt a lot about the colosseum and Rome.
