VIPコロッセオ、ローマフォーラム＆パラティヌスの丘＆特別アクセスサイト

Antonio provided an excellent tour. Would definitely recommend for an informative and enjoyable exploration of the colosseum and forum.

Mr. T was knowledgeable, professional and entertaining. He made the history come alive for our group while being considerate of us in the heat.

When I booked this tour, it was called “colosseum arena floor & VIP Caesar’s palace super sites tour” and my confirmation email says the same. The description said “walk where the gladiators walked” I booked it specifically for the arena floor. Come to find out on the tour that we are not going on the arena floor, apparently they changed that a year ago (I booked this a month ago). Funny enough they have changed the name of the tour on the website and when I go to manage my booking on walks website, the name of the tour doesn’t mention the arena floor anymore. Would’ve been nice to be informed as I could’ve booked a tour for half the price to visit the same spots. It also says super sites, plural, but we visited one out of the 7 and it wasn’t all that spectacular. I wanted to see the Santa Maria Antiqua as well but that did not happen. The tour also said 3:30-7pm, it was over by 6:20 and the guide said they start ushering people out by 6:30 as they close at 7. Why do you have it scheduled until 7 then? We also spent a lot of time standing around with him talking vs actually seeing the views of the colosseum and Roman forum. He kept explaining things and saying you’ll see when we get over there.. why not explain it when we can actually see what you are talking about? We spent 10 mins total in the actual forum. All in all very disappointing. Writing a review on the company website or getting ahold of them for a reimbursement of some type or even an apology is next to impossible as well

Dario, our guide was so knowledgeable and made our experience memorable. It was such a hot and humid day

Brilliant Tour. Very organised from start to finish and my tour operator for the day (Anna) was excellent, extremely friendly, enthusiastic and very knowledgable on the tour topics/history. I learnt loads and thoroughly enjoyed myself.

Limited restrooms. Very long tour with many steps. Excellent guide. Very informative but a lot to take in in 3 hours

We took the «Colosseum Arena Floor & VIP Caesar's Palace SUPER Sites Tour» with Walks of Italy. It’s an interesting tour visiting the most important sites of the Forum Romanum, Palatine Hill, and of course Colosseum. It’s a tour for history nerds, religious nerds, art and architecture nerds, anthropology nerds, archaeology nerds, and to be honest, everyone else. This is the center of many events that has been crucial in the history of western civilization, and indeed the world. Michele was our guide, and what a lovely guide. So sweet, attentive and full of knowledge of the place. Even though the tour lasts over 3 hours, it’s not enough! We want more history, more facts, more time, and more Michele! Just kidding (no but really, this could easily be a day out in itself). Remember to bring a hat, sun lotion, and water. Especially if you’re visiting between May and November. The Romans made everlasting roads and pavements, but your feet won’t last as long, so wear comfortable shoes with a solid sole. There’s a stop at restrooms and a water filling station midway through the tour, and there’s also a vending machine there.

Olga was a very knowledgeable and patient guide. We enjoyed our tour of the coloseum and ruins! Well organized, easy to find. Love the headsets. A+

I can’t recommend this tour enough! My partner and I did the tour in mid-July. Olga was our tour guide and she was an absolute font of knowledge. She was very engaging, happy to answer any and every question and knew so much interesting information about the forum and the colosseum. The VIP tickets are worth the extra money, we got to see inside August’s palace which was super interesting. If you can get on a tour with Olga you will not be disappointed, her knowledge extends to the entirety of the city of Rome and she made it by far the best tour I have been on!

Although informative, we stayed in place most of the time. We were not able to explore the many artifacts and rooms other than from afar, instead showed pictures from a book. We were also under the assumption(what we thought we paid for)that we would be going to the ground level and seeing the Gladiator Gate at the Colosseum and all we did was go to the second level and again find a shaded area to sit and listen.
