Colosseum Arena Floor och det antika Rom semi-privat guidad tur

These Show Me Italy people are not reputable. My flight had mechanical issues and my trip was canceled. I messaged these scam artists and tried calling for 3 days with no response! They kept my money and would not even respond to my numerous messages! I will be leaving multiple reviews everywhere I can to tell people about these crooks. Not so much as a response! DO NOT USE SHOW ME ITALY or VIATOR- they will NOT stand behind their business. Awful people… a true Scam

Mixed feelings about this tour and I rarely leave bad reviews, but I would honestly suggest looking for another provider given the high price paid. We were really excited for this tour and it was one of the things we decided to splurge on - but it let us down on several fronts. Firstly, despite getting about 6 emails and reminder WhatsApp messages, the actual details about address where to meet were buried once in a hyperlink (hard to find), and the details about the meeting location, staff shirt colour etc wasnt provided until we were lost and late and stressed. Plus meeting location is complicated by roadworks (not the fault of the tour but better information ahead of time would have helped). The operators at the meeting point were not really very sympathetic to our distress. Additionally, despite booking a guide for an internal Colosseum tour we were told a few days ahead of time that this was not possible due to rule changes by the Colosseum - the provider did offer a discount. Whilst disappointed we figured this is not the fault of the provider.....however, it seemed as though every other tour still provided guides inside the Colosseum....so hard to work out what was the true story, and we felt as though we missed out on a lot - again especially for the price we paid... Then the guide (who was really good) spent the entire allocated tour time OUTSIDE the Colosseum, I guess she did this so we felt we got our money's worth. Great except this also wasnt communicated to us ahead of time and so given we had other bookings planned for the day we ended up only rushing around inside (without a guide) for 30 mins because that is all the time we had left. Providing this information earlier would have let us decide to leave the tour early to see the Actual 'main event' for a longer time. Lastly I had to pester multiple times to get the discount that was offered and got absolutely no response to my feedback nor questions about the guides from other companies being inside the Colosseum. I do not feel like the discount offered was proportional to the loss of tour experience. Hence the poor review.

Before we even were able to do the tour, we got an email letting us know that half of the tour (the interior Colosseum portion) was canceled and the guide would no longer be going inside with us. This was the entire reason we booked the tour. I’ve gone to the Colosseum before, but was really looking forward to having a tour guide with me to explain what I had missed on previous trips. When we did go inside the Colosseum, they were plenty of other tour groups with guides so I don’t know what policy they were referring to when they said that the guides were no longer allowed inside. Finding the tour company was a challenge in itself as there was nothing visibly marked and we had to ask multiple other guides and found one who pointed us in the right direction. Once we checked in the tour company, Show me Italy, did not have a ticket for me, even though I was the one that booked the tour. At one point, the tour guide said I might have to go with another group which I obviously insisted I would not do and was doing the tour with my husband and son. The tour company sent the Colosseum ticket to my phone via WhatsApp, but once the tour of the Roman forum was concluded, and I went inside, I was told that my ticket was not good for the arena floor, which is what we had booked. The whole tour was disappointing. I did not want to tour of the Roman Forum and Palpatine Hill by itself and feel like refunding 20% of the total fee for what should have been more than 50% of the tour is ridiculous. Also, it was supposed to be 12 people Max and there were 17 people in our group as they added in a group of tourists at the last minute. Start to finish will never use the store company Show Me Italy again.

Michela was super nice and you can tell she loves her job

It was great. Mr. Lorenzo has a distingueshed knowledge about the Roman history. He made us informed a lot. He put a great effort to answer our questions.

It was a beautiful and memorable tour with family and friends full of new information, different perspectives and a broad vision.

Great experience, Sergio was excellent.

The tour was fantastic. The guide Ilaria was brilliant and was so informative as well as enthusiastic about her job. Came away from the tour feeling more knowledgeable about Rome and the goings on, as well as enjoying my experience.

Sergio is awesome!!! Highly recommended! He is very knowledgeable and professional!

Eugene was a wonderful guide! We had a wonderful time.
