Absolutely amazing, recommended to book early morning to have enough time to explore everything and it’s not too hot. We can come in 15 minutes earlier than the time on the ticket, very easy entry, just scan the barcode. They did not check the passport at all probably it was super busy when we visited. It said 75 minutes but we could stay as long as wished. Highly recommended!!!

Great tour guide which helped us through the entrance to the colosseum then towards palantine hill. He held up pictures to fill up some context in different parts of the colosseum and roman forum which really helped learning the history.

Guide was knowledgeable and bring us through the venue with ease. Crowded with many people but still managed to get decent shots. The tour is more than 20 pax, which I feel is not very ideal as it's too big a group.

Honestly, I didn't expect much from the Roman Forum, but it was so amazing that I didn't even have time to climb the hill! I highly recommend it! If you're in Rome, this is a must-visit place!

Despite the severe heat, our guide was extremely good in providing us a great experience! It started with a courtesy call to confirm our arrival at the designated area, followed by a tour with a plethora of knowledge sharing and information to make our experience a memorable. I feel terrible about not being sure of his name, but I’ve included a photo of him… and to him I say thank you!

This was so worth the amount paid. I got the three attractions pass and was able to book the Vatican Museums, Colosseum, and the Castel Sant'Angelo with this pass. It was extremely convenient and easy to use.

Alessandra was a great guide for this tour. we learnt a lot about the history of Rome. We weren’t sure which tour person to go to when we arrived at the meeting point so if you copy and paste the phone number into WhatsApp, it came up with a logo which then we saw a man holding a flag with the logo.

we really enjoyed the tour, the guide Aiko was very very knowledgeable and passionate about the history. the tour covered the areas mentioned as per the description. would have been nice to spend some extra time at the colosseum but we understand there is time limits. Aiko was trying to include everyone during the tour, really encourage to book this tour.
