I love rome ♥️
Beautiful story, I really love rome so much, if you need to enjoy the colosseum you have to go with a guide. I think without the guide it's not the same thing.. i need to say thanks also to the staff at the meeting point and thanks alot Elisabetta ❤️

Stay Away!!
STAY AWAY! I was NEVER able to find the tour guide. Lost my time and the company refuses to give me a refund. We paid for 5 people ( 3 adults and 2 kids) walked and waited at the meeting point and nobody there knew the company in charge of the tour. Stay away! Much better companies out there.

Colossal in the Colosseum
This tour was one of the best I've had anywhere. Expedited and timed entry made it a perfect mid-day stop for approx. 90 minutes. They guide was a recent college graduate from Rome. She knew her information well and really gave us sufficient insight. I strongly recommend this tour.
Operator response
