Great guide! - The tour guide was great! He was funny and energetic. He took photos and gave us a suggestion for lunch afterwards. I felt like I learned a lot and it was worth it.

Coliseum is must see - Good guide, good organization at the meeting point. After tour, guide went above and beyond by walking over to Forum with us and helping us through security and giving some good advice on where to go while inside.

Way expensive for what you get - I think the price was astronomical for what you get. Far too many people get packed in. Parts of the tour was interesting but then other parts I felt it was just story time while we were sat in the shade. Try dragged out I feel . Doesn’t help the tour guide when his group are almost melting in the 37 degree Celsius temperature. I chose the ‘small group tour’. There were 13 people in our group.

The worst tour - This was the worst tour I have ever been on… our guide was truly terrible. I have experienced tours at the colosseum 4 times and this one sadly was so disappointing. I was joined by three people who were going to the colosseum for the first time and they were excited to be enlightened by the history of the colosseum. In the contrary they learned nothing, did not enjoy the experience and also were unimpressed with the entire landmark because of the lack of explanation received during the tour.
