Colisée Underground Arena & Ancient Rome Tour Max 6 Personnes

Our guide was very knowledgeable. She brought with her books with photos that made the experience even better. She was very aware of the heat and took advantage of shade areas whenever she wanted to explain something.

Although our tour guide, Sarah, was excellent and provided a highly informative, personalized two-and- a- half-hour tour covering the history of the Colosseum, Palatine Hill, and the Roman Forum, I informed her that I believed we had paid for additional access to the Colosseum arena floor and underground areas. After reviewing her phone, she advised us that our booking did not include that portion of the tour. At the time, I did not verify my receipt, which was saved on my phone, until we returned to our VRBO apartment. Upon reviewing the receipt, it clearly indicated that we had purchased the full Colosseum tour, including access to the arena floor and underground areas, along with a guided tour of Palatine Hill and the Roman Forum. My husband and I greatly enjoyed the tour overall; however, we will be requesting a refund for the portion of the experience that was not provided. That said, Sarah did thoroughly explain the history and function of the arena floor, the underground animal holding areas, and the passages used by gladiators, which we appreciated. Sarah was sweet, funny, exceptionally nice and informative.

We had an exceptional tour with Madalina. Our entire group was only three people, though it could have been as many as six. Our guide spent extra time on areas that we were most interested in and offered in depth explanations of the history and the times of the Colosseum. I fully recommend this tour and this guide! The small group experience was far superior to being in a group of 25. Simply the best!

5/5 because of the incredible service provided to us by the owner himself and the incredible tour provided by Maggie!!

The tour guide was great – very knowledgeable and engaging – however, unfortunately the tour itself felt extremely rushed. In my opinion, the Colosseum visit could have been shorter so that more time could be spent exploring the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill. Ideally, we should have been allowed to finish the tour there and explore those areas at our own pace. Because of how the tour was managed, we were not given access to our tickets to re-enter the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill later unless we purchased another ticket, which was very disappointing. Booking through GetYourGuide was seamless and straightforward. The problems started afterwards when the tour time was changed from morning to afternoon. There was no apology, just a notification telling us it had been moved. When replying with questions related to the change, responses were very limited and often felt automated rather than from a real person. I love the Colosseum, and this was one of the activities I was most looking forward to in Rome. Sadly, it turned out to be one of the worst experiences I had during the trip. The entire tour felt rushed, and there was no real opportunity to stop, look around, and truly take in the magnitude of what we were seeing. Overall, this was a letdown and not what I expected. I would not recommend this tour

Wonderful- very personable , knowledgeable, and took care of individual needs, good job considering navigating the volume of people! You could tell he at good relations with the staff at the sites which allowed for ease of making the experience memorable!

We were extremely lucky to have our fantastic guide Andrea to ourselves. Her knowledge was extraordinary and her friendly demeanour and wit were a delight. We rarely take guided tours but that may change after today’s exceptional experience.

Incredible and worth much more than the price. Sam communicated the meet up location in real time. Andrea showed us everything and explained so much! It truly was incredible!

Amazing tour with a very engaging guide! Our guide was well informed and knew how to keep the tour interesting. Would definitely recommend!

This tour was hands down the best part of my trip to Italy—I’m officially obsessed with Rome now! Huge shoutout to the guide and the team for making everything super smooth and giving us top-tier service. So glad I decided to bring my friends along too because we made some core memories and learned so much about the Colosseum. 10/10, would do it all over again!
