Radu is awesome - Radu was our tour guide--he is fluent in 6 languages (Romanian, Italian, Mandarin, English, Spanish, French. . .) and funny in all of them. He provided interesting commentaries and we were impressed with his historical knowledge (he does have a bunch of graduate degrees in history). Ask him how the movie "Gladiator" stacks up with the real experience ;-) Ciao!

Do not book! Scam tour operator and Victor does not care! - Still had to wait in line, tour guide was horrible, no access to palantine hills after. Ali the tour operator is a scam artist. Complained to Viator and they did not care.

Do not book this tour! - Do not book this tour! I spent months planning our trip knowing that summer is a busy time in Rome and experiences are likely to sell out. I booked this tour in March and my cc was charged a few days prior as I was expecting. The morning of the tour my family and I made sure to be at the meeting point with virtual ticket on time which was 10:00am. No one was there. We asked around and sent communication to the tour guide only to hear that at 1:00 am that morning they sent a Whatsapp message saying they were unable to fit us into a group for our time and maybe they could fit us in at 2:00pm. Well my family and I had another tour planned at that time that was already paid for. When I explained I had never seen the 1:00 am message, they said they would be late by about 90 minutes. Being that we were without a car and unfamiliar with the area, we waited in the rain for the guide. Eventually someone arrived and walked us away from the meeting point and they added us to a group tour that did not allow us to walk out the Gladiators entrance as I had paid for. My family and I missed our other tour and had to forfeit payment as WE did not show up due to this terrible customer service. After contacting Viator, they assured me I would be refunded but then didn't process said refund since we had some sort of tour. Incredibly disappointed by both companies.

Wtf No one showed up, scam - This was an absolute disaster. The guide never showed, this is after he messaged me after midnight to confirm the night before. I messaged him and called several times to no avail. Viator tried calling him but never got through. Viator won't refund my money until the operator gets back to them or after 3 days of no contact. Never got the tour but if I did it's extremely overpriced. Save your $ and time and find a company in Rome.

Not Small Group - The small group tour was misrepresented because we ended up with 23 people. This was my only complaint but it definitely ruined the experience.

No tickets - We were contacted 10 minutes prior to our meeting time and told that the guide was unable to get tickets to the arena floor. We were then offered a 30 euro refund and a regular tour at a completely different time. Unfortunately we already had reservations and could not take the other time offered as we were on a strict schedule. We missed the colosseum completely due to this. It was very disappointing and the whole thing was very disorganized. Just know if you book this your tickets are not confirmed.

DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS TOUR COMPANY!!!! - The tour company cancelled our 10am tour and told us it will be in the afternoon or was offering to downgrade to no arena access/bigger group. I wouldn’t trust this company again. It looks like they were just trying to resell in Viator and have you Tour with another Company, just like what they did to us. They make you also feel you are compalining too much for insisting to get the tour you actually paid for. Such a hassle. Go with a reputable company. Not this!

The tour never happened,... - The tour never happened, it was canceled that morning. The group stated that their was miscommunication between Viatour and themselves, because they had no idea there was a scheduled tour for that time. So nothing happened.

No bueno - DO NOT BOOK THIS. Was not able to go on tour after paying. No forewarning. Not worth the money. Definitely not the time either

Do not book this tour - Unfortuntely this tour was absolutely horrible. After showing up on time and waiting around for 30 minutes in a crowded area packed with other tourists, we were introduced to our “guide”. She also showed up late, unprepared, and spoke quietly and muffled so that we couldn’t even hear her. It was clear that she was not comfortable talking in front of groups which is fine, but not if you’re a tour guide. She scurried to get us inside and then, once there, droned for 20 minutes in a low monotone before we got to walk inside and see what we came to see. The tour was costly, unprofessional, and not informative. Save your money and download a podcast on the history of the colosseum and explore on your own.
