Reviews
our guide was super thoughtful, kind, and helpful. we lost two of our members at a gate and she went back to find them. I forgot her name but she was very sweet. spoke English very well, and was definitely a local. knew all the best spots for pictures, and got us into special areas fast! group size: 6 people guide: perfect person to guide this attraction!
We had a great experience with this tour! The extra time and money to go see the underground was well worth it. The guide was very knowledgeable and shared her enthusiasm. would highly recommend. I would give this 5 stars in every category, but there was a problem initially getting into the colosseum. This was a 20 minute or so setback that was remedied.
Our tour guide Davide was great. Very informative, funny, and gave us good tips for where to go eat as well.
A great experience! the meet up information was easy to find in such a big city! definitely would do it again! our tour guide Bili (not sure if I’m spelling correctly) was sweet and kind! She definitely made it a girls girls tour, often checking in for photo ops and bathroom breaks! She was amazing! We did the underground tour and although a small hiccup occurred with other guests, she made our tour a priority as well by getting us in at the expected time ✨✨
David was a great guide, he made the whole experience enjoyable rather than a history lesson. You know you are having fun whilst learning about the Colosseum and Roman Forum when it is over before you realise what the time is. I can recommend this tour for all ages but there was fair bit of walking, up and down stairs in the colosseum although there is a lift for going up only. A side note please do not take weapons into the Colosseum, those days are over and security will confiscate them.
We had Polina as our guide for the Colosseum and Toman Forum and she was great! shared so much information with us and had an amazing entertaining way of doing it! She made the whole experience even better!
what a brilliant trip! our guide, Valteria was absolutely amazing. So knowledgeable and her passion for history really shone through. A well planned trip which I would book again in a heartbeat. just make sure you are wearing comfy shoes! lots of walking but worth every step.
please make the tour longer!!!
our tour guide Francesca was very efficient and very informative . Overall the tour was enjoyable and very informative. She’s very kind to offer also to take a photo of me because I’m traveling alone too .
I would have preferred more time in the arena and it was a bit misleading. it was a great tour but the time in the Colosseum was really short.
