VERY GOOD

There was a small issue at the beginning, it was impossible to find Christophe for 45 minutes. In searching, it was not his fault because they are not allowed to put up little flags or anything after having turned in every direction, finally here he is. Very friendly with good advice and little tips!! We received a message in the morning telling us to meet at a certain place, but in fact, he was at the back. Not a big deal, we saw him. Thank you for everything, I recommend it. Really, the visit to the Colosseum with the audio guide was very good, thank you, thank you.

Operator response

Un grand merci pour votre retour ! Nous sommes sincèrement désolés pour l'attente et la confusion au début de votre visite. Comme vous l'avez très bien compris, les réglementations strictes autour du Colisée empêchent nos assistants de lever des drapeaux ou des signes distinctifs, ce qui complique parfois les retrouvailles. Nous sommes ravis que Christophe ait pu vous aider avec ses conseils et ses astuces dès que vous l'avez trouvé, et que la visite avec l'audioguide vous ait pleinement satisfait. Merci pour votre recommandation et votre compréhension !

Did not receive a ticket via email.

Unfortunately, everything was a bit unclear. No ticket was sent via email. No one was there on site. We had to pick up the ticket at the office (45 minutes away). There was no audio guide even though it was booked.

Where's Wally?

1: the tickets are not sent either by email or by WhatsApp as indicated when you make the reservation. After several calls, they do not provide any information, and what they send you is a photo of the man you need to locate, in the middle of the Coliseum square (looking for Waldo). After two hours of searching, we were able to locate him, he handed us the tickets, and he did not provide any explanation or information. Additionally, the tickets included an audio guide, and it was impossible to access the application. We had to access the official Coliseum application.
