The fact that there was no respect for the building in the mediaval ages. A that all the stone was stolen.
Thank you! Regards
Gladiator Tours sold us tickets for tour on a day they were closed. We were charged 90 euros. I have contacted the company for refund but have not heard back. We have reported this as a scam to Visa. When booking tickets the system had us select a date and tour time. I also received a booking confirmation and was very surprised when we showed up to a closed office/meeting point. Working with credit card company to receive refund since I can't get a reply for company.
Hi, there was a problem to the system. we apologize for the happened. Greetings
We had Sylvia as a guide and found d her to be a very informative, pleasant, funny and wonderful guide. I would recommend her any day of the year. Thoroughly enjoyed it

Your never happened and it seems because of Viator fault. Very disappointing considering that we had only 2 days in Rome. Unprofessional and bad customer service from Viator side.

During our visit we decided to go for the full experience and booked a tour with Gladiator Tours. Our first guide, a very friendly woman of which I unfortunately can’t recall her name, showed us around the impressive Colosseum. She provided us with so much information but with a passion , it was never dull to listen to her. Our second part of the tour through palatine hill and Forum Romanum was done by an very energetic and awesome guy, with unfortunately a name which I can’t recall aswel. He mentioned he also responded to beardy or dude. He also told with allot of passion and energy and surely knew what he was talking about. Both guides stood open for questions and answered with great and clear responses. They both engaged with the group. So if you’re thinking of booking a tour I’d really recommend these guys!
