Francesco was incredible! - Francesco was the best guide we could’ve asked for. So passionate and knowledgable in guiding us around the beautiful sights of Rome and he really made the experience so much more memorable. Thank you Francesco you’re the GOAT x

Powerful, Informative and Well Thought Out Tour Guide - Amr Sonbol tour guide of Roma Colesseum was very knowledgeable, informative and interactive with our group. We were a group of 6 along with about 10 other people from all over. He spoke directly to everyone and made tour feel direct and personal/tailored to just you. Ask for AMR Sonbol as your guide and you’ll get the Royal Experience. Ashwan Rocks.

Hard on the feet! - Take your walking shoes! Well worth the extra to stand where the gladiators did, it’s always busy and I’d of like a little more time in some areas. The guide, bless her, was very knowledgeable but a little hard to understand. On the whole a long and interesting tour for the history buffs but we bailed out about 3/4s of the way through.

Disappointing - This was not an enjoyable experience as our guide had a very thick Italian accent and was rambling for most of the tour. Some of us even found other channels and guides to listen to. Not many facts shared except how many animals died. It was so crowded and hard to keep us all together. Next time we will do a self guided audio tour. Only nice part was we got to skip the line.

Not recommended - Booked this tour and the tour company phoned me the night before and cancelled it stating they don’t have enough room. Considering I would have had to pay if I cancelled within 24 hours, this should be illegal. I will also lose money on the conversion rate and credit card fees for foreign transactions despite being refunded. I phoned Viator customer service and Ivory could not be bothered to help or allow me to speak to a supervisor. Viator had another tour available but it was more than double the price. I explained that they should cover the difference but they were not willing to. I will never use this company again. Also the tour provider is Tours & Tours and should not be trusted.

Do not book the company’s tour - Tour information provided by company’s voucher & ticket gave wrong meeting place address. We missed the tour due to their bad information.
