Must-see - Awe-inspiring. One of the best visits I have made on my European travels. A MUST-SEE. Experience of reserving, getting the ticket and explanation of what's included was seamless. Dream Tours did a great job and were very friendly.

Colosseum Visit - Mr.SAK from Dreamtourism European DMC was extremely thorough with instructions and directiosn. He was ontime and onsite and detailed out every information needed to make the Colosseum Rome visit pleasant and stress free. I’d highly recommend this company and Mr.SAK to anyone planning their visit to Rome.

Great experience - Our guide was very friendly and communication regarding meeting point and app download was great beforehand. Once we got there he explained how the tour worked and waited for us to finish the Colosseum to then explain about the Palatine and Forum. Overall, for the price we paid you get to see so much, including all the 'super' places in the Palatine. And the audio for the colosseum is good.

Clear communication, easy pickup, good access to most of colosseum - The whole thing was very organized and our contact, Sak, communicated clearly through WhatsApp. The meeting point was simple enough (arch of Constantine) and he explained well what was included and not. Heads up: the audio guide app drains phone battery very quickly.

Dream Tourism via Viator... - Dream Tourism via Viator is a good option. I couldn’t get tickets through the original website, so I used the TripAdvisor/Viator website. Dream Tourism communicated well through the Viator app. I received a PDF of my tickets a few days before. I was also instructed to download the official Colosseum app, MyColosseum. Some reviewers have mentioned audio glitches, but the accompanying text is read by audio. Watching YouTube history videos beforehand is better. To be overly prepared, meet the Dream Tourism before the tour. The guide stands near the Arch of Constantine’s benches. They ensure we have tickets, the app, and direct us to lines for the Colosseum and Palantine Hill. Tickets were unavailable through the official Colosseum website, so this was a good option. Alternatively, you could stand in long lines on the day of purchase.

Smooth history lessons - Colosseum, Palatine and Roman Forum are of course not to be described in their uniqueness... Our dream tourism guide was very friendly and extremely helpful, everything worked out fine. It was also advantageous that we had already booked at 9:00 am. The queue wasn’t that long, skip-the-line entrance and security check were done quickly. Our experience with Viator was not good. There (other) confirmed bookings were cancelled shortly before the start as “booked”! So I wouldn't recommend Viator... The review here really only stands for dream tourism.

Figure It Out On Your Own - It was impossible to find a person connected with this tour. We never were sure we were in the correct meeting point and never found a representative for this tour.
