Palatine Hill tours

The explanation of the tour guide was very clear and detailed.He also gave us free time and water breaks.His time management was excellent and he is also free to our questions about the colosseum and the Palastine hill.Overall,he is a professional tour guide.

Great tour, Favio was such an amazing tour guide, full of stories and very knowledgeable. The only thing is the meeting spot can be a bit confusing, we got lost but did managed to turn up just in time. Otherwise, enjoyable tour.

Amazing tour! we got to see so many things and our guide was the best! English was great. Very knowledgeable about everything in Rome.

our tourguide franchesca is very good and very nice! the tour was nice. we really loved it! we were so lucky that our tour was converted into a private tour and plus the weather is so nice that day!

Very good experience overall. The guided tour helped us skip the queues and saved a lot of time. As the site is very large (including Collosseum, Roman Forum and Palletine Hill), having a guide made it much easier to understand the key highlights in a clear and concise way. Note is important to bring passport as the entrance will check the ticket (which is issued by the agency based on booking name) and passport. Our guide was knowledgeable and engaging, and the meeting point at Crown Tours office was easy to find. Highly recommended.

I booked the Colosseum Arena Tour with Palatine Hill & Roman Forum through Carpe Diem Tours, and the experience was smooth and enjoyable. Their communication is excellent — very responsive on WhatsApp, and they’ll message you if you’re running late. They also have a Carpe Diem app, which I recommend downloading. The guide spoke clear English and used photo books to show what the sites originally looked like, which really helped with visualisation. The area isn’t like a museum — there’s no curated display or information panels to read. Without a guide, most of the ruins would be hard to interpret. Palatine Hill involves a fair bit of walking, and the Colosseum has steep steps both going up and exiting. What stood out most was how interactive the guide was, explaining the history in a way that made everything more engaging as if exploring alone, the ruins can start to look like “rocks of different sizes”.

Service provier were on time. They were calling us 15 mins before scheduled time but once we were there, we understood why. There was already a long line forming luckily we have priority tickets. Male sure to come early!

A visit to Rome can never be complete without stopping by at the Roman colosseum, Roman forum and the Palatine hill. Not only an engineering marvel, it's rich in culture. The trip would take about 3 hours and our guide was passionately explaining the history and culture behind all the buildings. I find the lesser known Roman forum and Palatine Hill a slightly better place to spend time and gawk at all the wonders that is Rome.
