Exactly what we were looking for! - We had toured the Colusseum about 13 years ago but were back in Rome and wanted a little refresher. This tour was just the right length and amount of detail. Our tour guide Laura was absolutely wonderful - very knowledgeable, organized and had great energy!

Great for Kids - My sons, ages 12 and 9 said this was the best tour of our Roman vacation. It’s just a one hour tour, but we felt it encompassed enough for kids that age. At the end, we were welcome to walk to the top if we wanted. A great time!

Colosseum tour with gladiators skipped the line - Diego are escort on the tour was very knowledgeable, friendly outgoing. We really enjoyed taking a tour with him and we would highly recommend him in the future take other tours with the company and of course with Diego. So far it was the best tour we taken today. It was well worth the money and an awesome deal. The Colosseum with entrance to the gladiator was superb intercourse skip the line was awesome. If you’re thinking about it, I would highly recommend this company.

Average Colosseum Tour - Not a great experience. First, the tour operators were not wearing anything that identified them so finding the amongst the busy crowds was difficult. Two, the guide was mediocre. The guide mumbled and seemed to just list notable pieces without explaining anything or highlighting why something was interesting or important. I am a keen student of Roman history so it left me a little flat.

Unacceptable and chaotic experience. Booking cancelled at the last minute. Do not book. - This was an absolutely unacceptable experience. This operator is a scam. Do not book. I showed up on time at the meeting point, only to find that no one was available. There was complete confusion on site, with no clear communication or ownership. We were made to wait for around 20 to 40 minutes with no explanation of what was happening. While I was physically standing with the tour operator, I received a cancellation email and refund notification. The operator then claimed that Viator had cancelled the booking, while Viator pointed to the operator. Regardless of where the blame sits, the handling was completely unprofessional and unacceptable. At the very last minute, we were told that there were no tickets available and that the booking had been cancelled at the back end. Because of this, we missed seeing the Colosseum entirely. We had extended our stay by an extra day specifically for this visit, incurring additional accommodation costs, all of which was wasted due to this failure. This was poorly managed, stressful, and deeply disappointing. I would strongly advise against booking with this operator.
