The visit to the Colosseum went very well; our resource person was waiting for us at the meeting point as planned, and he gave us good advice for visiting the site and on a few other points of interest.
Audio stopped working after 15 minutes (after 4 stops played) and was without audio the rest of the tour.
Hi Cheryl, We are truly sorry to hear that your audio guide stopped working after just 15 minutes. We understand how frustrating it is to lose your narration right at the start of your Colosseum experience. The thick stone walls of the Colosseum can sometimes cause cellular network drops, which can interrupt the digital guide stream. However, this is certainly not the experience we want for our guests.
Christoph met us! He was warm and welcoming!!!! We did both guided and self guided. This was a great experience. We loved our visit. Book it if you have a chance.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you had such a great experience on our Colosseum tour. It is fantastic to hear that Christoph welcomed you so warmly—we will definitely share your kind words with him! He always goes above and beyond to make sure our guests have a seamless start to their visit. We are so glad you loved both the guided and self-guided portions of your day. We hope to welcome you back to Rome on your next adventure!
Kristoff was great and gave us some great recommendations!
There was a small issue at the beginning, it was impossible to find Christophe for 45 minutes. In searching, it was not his fault because they are not allowed to put up little flags or anything after having turned in every direction, finally here he is. Very friendly with good advice and little tips!! We received a message in the morning telling us to meet at a certain place, but in fact, he was at the back. Not a big deal, we saw him. Thank you for everything, I recommend it. Really, the visit to the Colosseum with the audio guide was very good, thank you, thank you.
Un grand merci pour votre retour ! Nous sommes sincèrement désolés pour l'attente et la confusion au début de votre visite. Comme vous l'avez très bien compris, les réglementations strictes autour du Colisée empêchent nos assistants de lever des drapeaux ou des signes distinctifs, ce qui complique parfois les retrouvailles. Nous sommes ravis que Christophe ait pu vous aider avec ses conseils et ses astuces dès que vous l'avez trouvé, et que la visite avec l'audioguide vous ait pleinement satisfait. Merci pour votre recommandation et votre compréhension !
Not good. Viator asked me for information yet did not process that information so I was unable to get my tickets.
Hello, We are incredibly sorry to hear about this frustrating experience and that you were unable to get your tickets. This is certainly not the seamless visit we want for our guests. Since this booking was processed through Viator, we would like to look into exactly what happened with your information and help make this right. Please reach out to us directly with your booking reference number at reservations@italypasstours.com or through the Viator messaging platform so we can investigate and assist you with a resolution.
Unfortunately, everything was a bit unclear. No ticket was sent via email. No one was there on site. We had to pick up the ticket at the office (45 minutes away). There was no audio guide even though it was booked.
1: the tickets are not sent either by email or by WhatsApp as indicated when you make the reservation. After several calls, they do not provide any information, and what they send you is a photo of the man you need to locate, in the middle of the Coliseum square (looking for Waldo). After two hours of searching, we were able to locate him, he handed us the tickets, and he did not provide any explanation or information. Additionally, the tickets included an audio guide, and it was impossible to access the application. We had to access the official Coliseum application.
Francesco assisted us when we got lost, everything was fine.
Francesco with Farle in the back office together with Yumna, Joseph, Ashik and Simone gave us the correct information and Francesco was very punctual at the meeting point
