This tour was amazing! If you get a chance at these tickets take them and run! The tour guide was amazing! The way she talked was like she was just as excited to see it as you and like it was her first time seeing it too. She knew the answer to every question and was very informative. Seeing the tunnel the gladiators walked through and all the underground chambers were amazing. You won’t be disappointed with this tour!
This tour was fantastic! We upgraded to small group when we checked in bc there was availability- highly recommend! Group of 6- walked the historic sites, took lots of pictures- our guide Maximus was amazing. Lots of knowledge - made it enjoyable for all. Great way to see the coliseum & enjoy Rome.

We congratulate our guide for the visit to the Colosseum and Roman Forum/Palatine Hill...Rosalia is very professional and listens to everyone...she taught us a lot of subtleties. A big thank you to ROSALIA!!!!!
Great experience for this visit to the Colosseum and the Roman Forum in Rome. Our guide Rosalia was great and told us about the place from a historical perspective and with many anecdotes as well. What made the visit very interesting and friendly. Three hours of sightseeing may seem like a long time, but we haven't seen the time. Rosalia paced her visit a good step, we were not bored. A very professional and friendly guide, we recommend at Crown Tour.
