Fantastic - Meeting spot was easy to find, we were given an earpiece to hear our guide who was a very kind, Italian lady with an incredible wealth of knowledge. Her English was good and her communication was on point. She was very considerate of the heat and stopped regularly for water and bathroom breaks, along with finding shaded spots to cool off. She was also considerate of people on the tour with restricted mobility and found alternate routes for them. The tour lasted 2.5 hours and was very informative and we felt we saw everything we had hoped to see and more. Was very happy with the experience and would absolutely recommend 10/10

Smaller group size, better experience. - Our guide was very knowledgeable and kind. Compared to other tour groups, ours was smaller so that everyone could stay together and the guide could respond to our needs.

Colosseum - Excellent tour guide, Fluvia who was so knowledgeable in the history of the this great place. Small group tour was also good as you could hear and see the tour guide at all times. 5 STAR!

Excellent! - Excellent tour with a very knowledgeable guide. Alexandra spoke excellent English and had lots of extra information with her that helped us to understand how the buildings look, and were used, in the past. As our tour was on a 38°C day, she was very mindful to find shady places to talk which we appreciated. We really enjoyed the tour. My only criticism is that the person at the meeting place held their sign at waist level and in the crowd were very hard to find. I ended up having to message the company to find the representative and others on the tour had the same problem. A big flag would be better!

Bad tour - The tour started 25 minutes late as we just stood there waiting. Very disorganized. The guide had difficulty managing the group and seemed worn out from the heat. Kept asking if anyone wanted to stop. The assistant acted very disinterested. We’ve taken probably 100 tours as we travel a lot and this had to be in the bottom 5.

Fraudulent company - We were at the meeting spot at 8:25 20 minutes prior to the tour at 8:45. We had 3 adults asking different companies about this company. Only 2 of the many companies we asked even knew of this company. Then I messaged them on Viator and they never responded. I then contacted their “emergency” only number and they said they couldn’t find us and they would consider full refund. We asked to be added to the 9:45 but they said we could book with their other company and would consider full refund. We were at the meeting spot the entire time up to 9:45 and never saw a representative from their company. This company is a fraudulent and couldn’t be bothered to show up for a paying company.

Do not book you will get cancelled and they will keep your money. - Do NOT book. I had made reservations 2 weeks in advance and they cancelled last minute. They rebooked for morning tour but I had other tours booked. I called them and sent them a message on whatsapp and left me on read. Please don’t book if you don’t want your tour or whole day to get cancelled or not getting a refund. The funny part is they sent an email with the rebooking and tickets after the tour was done so it make it look like they reach out but didn’t.
