History & Culture in Real Life Format! - Tour Guide with American Nickname 'Eugene' was funny & super informative! It was great having an actual person tour guide; I could MAYBE have that knowledge about the Colosseum to enjoy a solo tour if I had an advanced degree in Roman History or something.. Really fun tour as well! EL, Chicago, IL USA

In depth tour good for Roman history buffs - The tour was probably a half hour long than would have been ideal for us as a family of four — lots of walking and lots of history but the sights were interesting and the guide was informative. Recommend, especially for Roman and Italian history buffs who want to see everything in detail.

Poor preparation by the guides - The guide was not well prepared. It took us too long to get going and she was all over the place with her information, rarely finishing a thought. We would have been better just buying tickets and going solo.

Booking scam - Stay away from this company. We booked our tour with this organisation through GetYourGuide. We booked on 27/10, to have the tour on 29/10. Within the hour after receiving a booking confirmation, we got a message from the organiser that there was 'a technical error' with their platform and that they wouldn't be able to organise the tour on 29/10 as usual. They requested us to cancel the booking with a full refund. Normally cancellation within that time period would only refund us 25% due to the date being close to the date of the actual tour. However, since they requested to cancel, they 'guaranteed' a 100% refund. They mention refunds could take 5-7 business days. Within 3 days, we got our 25% back, but not word of the other 75%. After waiting the full time period of 5-7 days, we took contact with the organiser. Communication was close to impossible and if any at all, no actual information on the refund was provided. So to sum it up, quality tours is not this organisations business model, baiting people in booking and the asking for a late time cancellation unfortunately is.
