Great tour

The tour was about 2 - 2.5 hours. First we did the Roman forum and then the colosseum. A fair amount of the time is not shaded, so being water and use sun protection if it’s going to be a hot and sunny day. Francesca was a great guide. She’s an archeologist who’s actively working on the site, and she’s understandably very knowledgeable and she does a fine job explaining things.

Amazing!!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a fantastic experience visiting the Colosseum in Rome. Our guide, Larissa, was outstanding. She spoke excellent English, was clear and engaging, and provided an incredible amount of detail on the historical value and story of the Colosseum, from its beginnings to the many purposes it has served over the centuries. The site itself is breathtaking. Walking into the arena for the first time truly makes your heart flutter. I would highly recommend paying extra to access the staging area within the arena. The perspective it gives really enhances your imagination of what it must have been like in its prime. The whole tour lasted about 2.5 hours and was worth every moment. Not only was the Colosseum itself impressive, but Larissa also brought to life the surrounding areas, including the Roman Forum and the palaces, weaving together the history in a way that made it easy to picture the grandeur of ancient Rome. An unforgettable experience, well worth the extra cost and a must see when in Rome!

Stood up and tour was already paid for in advance

This company was not helpful at all. I worried. About this company because they billed me up front and other tours did not. However they did respond when it was time to pay more money for tickets. But the moment we needed help to find them for our tour they were Non responsive and stood us up.

yes Mrs Tamara....if you check better the informations online our booking department is closed on Sundays and your booking was for a Sunday. On your booking confirmation you find our help line phone number for emergencies and you never called us. You also find the meeting location address and a useful map connected with Google maps. We did our best but we are not able to do more

Best guided tour we’ve had!

Laura, our tour guide was amazing!!!! She brought a notebook of pictures to help us visualize what happened years ago while she was telling the stories. Even though I’m not as interested in history like my husband she made it so fascinating!

Wonderful Colosseum tour!

We took the private fast track tour with Marilu. It was the perfect amount of time to get a little overview of the history. She made it interesting and was so kind. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour!

Amir, was A last minute replacement but we were so happy with the experience. Not only did he show us all of the relevant spots but he was very knowledgeable in the history of the building Rome and so much more. I would highly recommend this experience and if you value your time then this is for you.
