ROME:Colosseum, forum & palatin hill guided tour - private/group

At midnight before the start of our 9:00am tour, we were informed that the guide had to cancel due to personal matters. We were given no other options but to wait for - different guide at 11:00am. Once the new guide did arrive, 2 hours later, they were professional and knowledgeable. However, we were only give a tour of the colosseum and did give a tour of the Roman Forum or Palatine Hill as what was included in the listing and price. Having received less than half of what we paid for any attempt at even a partial refund was refused - 1 star.

Very good tour in a small group, our guide Andy was very well informed. We did have a baby in a stroller which was very difficult to navigate the cobblestone roads and paths.

This was by far the BEST tour and guide we experienced in Rome. The guide was so knowledgeable about the history of the Colleseum and Palatine Hill.

The tour guide had a huge amount of knowledge and was really well versed. Even though it was a lot of walking, it was well worth it.

My wife and I booked this tour last minute after our underground Colosseum tour was cancelled. We were grateful that these were at least legit tickets that guaranteed our entrance on the only day we had available, but this tour group is greatly overcharging for what you get. The tour guide seemed to be in a rush, and barely gave us any time to see the Roman Forum (maybe 20 minutes), totally skipping the Palatine Hill. We weren’t allowed to re-enter later since the tickets are single entry. The tour guide also had an attitude and mentioned that he wanted to quit working for this company. He hurried us to the colosseum entrance, had us watch 2 minutes of the video playing on the screen, and then abandoned us. We got no information about the Colosseum itself, or any guide on interesting places to see once inside. Overall, we are glad we at least got to go, but I would not book this tour unless you are desperately looking for something last-minute, like I was in my situation.

The Colosseum itself was incredible, but unfortunately the tour experience did not live up to the price. We were a small group of seven people, yet the tour still felt rushed and surprisingly impersonal. The guide was difficult to understand at times, seemed to have an attitude, and moved us quickly from place to place without really creating an engaging or enjoyable atmosphere. For the amount charged, I expected a much more immersive, thoughtful, and well-paced experience. Overall, the tour felt very ordinary and definitely not worth the premium price.

Our tour guide, Ridalda, has great passion and knowledge! She was welcoming and a masterful storyteller. Absolutely stellar! Highly recommend

Second time taking this tour just a different company and the tour wasn't very informational. We booked original with Viator 6 months ago to be canceled 3 times before they gave up on finding one and I had to locate on my own.

After some initial meet up confusion, Enzo was very kind to hook us up with a phenomenal guide, Lidio, who was very kind, humorous, extremely knowledgeable, and absolutely passionate. We highly recommend this tour especially if you can get Lidio as your guide.

Guide was very informative and my kids and I enjoyed the tour very much. Would recommend this tour for sure.
