Excursión al Coliseo, el Foro Romano y la Colina Palatina para Grupos Pequeños

Great tour! We enjoyed exploring the Colosseum, Palatine Hill, and Roman Forum. Guide provided just enough info - super knowledgeable while still allowing us to explore on our own.

The English speaking tour guide has very hard to understand English, and stops in places to talk that made no sense given we did not understand what she was saying. While the guide seemed friendly she also 1 forgot or lost her “flag / find me wand” and was not wearing anything to make her stand out so whe she moved quickly through very cm larger groups, it was hard to keep up and then also hard to find her. She rarely paused to check if everyone made it with us. Thankfully we were a small group total and helped each other to find her. I cannot tell you if she knew a lot or little about the Colosseum are the ancient Roman ruins we saw, as none of us understood her. now mind you with this same company we took their golf cart city tour and the girl who was our guide spoke excellent English. I was sold that when we checked in, so won’t be able to review that on Viator. So be wary of the guide. The sites themselves were very crowded. We did as a “group” get to skip the line for the coliseum, but we did have to stand in line for 30 mins to get into the Ruins to start the day. Also note to make sure you keep handy your printed ticket - you will need it over and over. This is not the fault of the tour operator, but they could have wanted us better to not put it away (maybe she did and we did not understand her). Additionally note that for both sites the ruins and the coliseum, you will need government issued ID - that was very clear on the documents the tour operator sent us and was true. There is very little shade at the ruins, the coliseum had a lot of shade options. If you’re thinking a private tour will get you a more private experience, don’t bother with that, it won’t. Oh also?l, be very prepared for pickpockets and very pushy street salesmen who will try to push water and portable chargers, parasols and other stuff on you. Repeatedly, again this was not the tour operators fault, but I would encourage them to do more direct sharing of information to make you aware of the pickpockets and not to engage with the street salesmen who people other than to kindly tell them no thank you and do not touch the stuff they’re trying to hand you. My biggest issue was we paid a premium to get a small group tour in English and while the guide might be able to pass an English test, ask the people who go on tour with her from England or the USA and I am sure they will tell you similar to us, she’s nice but can’t be understood. Very disappointing.

It was awesome. The guide was amazing. She was very knowledgeable. It was very hot and she keep us in the shade as much as possible to explain things. .

We happened to schedule our tour during a heat wave with temps reaching over 100. Our tour guide, Roberto, was interesting, charming, accommodating, and made the best a very hot tour. We had a long wait in the hot sun to get into Palestine Hill. The colosseum talk went very slow but was interesting. Overall, the tour was easy to book, organized, and well done. I recommend not booking tours in Rome in June.

Marianna was fantastic! She was so knowledgeable about the Colosseum and Roman Forum. Our tour did not feel long at all, despite very high heat (95°!) Marianna was very warm and personable, looking out for all the partipants to make sure we were hydrated and not overly tired or hot. She found all the shady spots. And at the end, her recommendations for food and gelato were spot on. Well done!

Our tour guide Andy was THE best!! He was educated, funny and a great photographer. He made our small group of 20 feel like family and provided helpful tips while staying in Italy. We were so pleased to meet him & enjoyed the experience because of his out standing expertise. = >

When you book a “skip the line” tour with this vendor you should know that you’ll be in a LONG line of others that also booked a “skip the line” tour. After we were told it would be a few minutes in line, then waiting 20 minutes without moving an inch, and realizing this would be a lot longer, we decided to leave. I asked for a refund but was denied. I’m sure the tour would be great if we ever got to do it.

Very understanding guide and company. Guide was extremely knowledgeable. And, had additional information.

Great visit to the forum with Damiena, our very educational and cheerful guide!

Great tour with a great knowledgeable guide and great humour. A very enjoyable & educational tour thank you
