Best tour ever! - Because of an upcoming event in the area, it took a few minutes to find our starting point. Fortunately, our tour guide called and walked us there by video call! With vouchers in hand, our main guide Paula, took us on a fantastic tour of the colosseum, up Pallatine Hill, and into the forum. Her knowledge and expertise were amazing! We feel so lucky have found her as our guide.

Unforgettable visit to the Coliseum, Forum and Palatine Mountain - Excellent and perfectly organized experience. Fast access, no waiting and impeccable coordination. The visit to the Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Palatine Mountain was exciting, with a very professional and captivating guide. I highly recommend it.

Very good guide, good... - Very good guide, good explanations about the places visited. The only downside: the communication regarding the meeting point (2 different addresses, which created confusion).

The guide was pleasant... - The guide was pleasant but seemed like if he was ‘shooting’ the information without paying any attention if the group is even following (at few spots he was good 20 meters ahead of us, already talking about the next topic). It felt as if we are running from one point to another and in addition his heavy accent made it difficult to follow.

Difficult process of redeeming reservation for ticket - It is easy to book, but it is difficult to find the person who has to give you the tickets. They could do as CIVITATIS or WALK GURU that with just the reservation is in the guide

Viator - disaster - Totally chaotic and unreliably disorganized. Only by chance and friendly young California tourists did we get to the Coliseum at all with overpriced admission fees.

Audio guide to ban - The audio guide is absolutely unsuitable. You don’t know where you are, what explanations to click on, the worst audio guide ever used. After 5min, we put the phone away and continued without any explanation.
