Surreal and Amazing Tour of Rome - This tour was awesome! We had a private tour where it was just us and our tour guide, Ian. He was SO knowledgeable and gave us so much insight and information about the Colosseum and the Forum and all that we saw. Standing in the Colosseum was surreal and so amazing. We loved everything about this tour and we highly recommend it.

well designed - We were tired from the stairs and hills but the guide made each step interesting and allowed for individual needs (oldsters for example). This is not a strenuous tour but it does require some climbing. Well worth the cost overall. Meeting location is a bit hidden what with traffic and construction, but you just head for the back side by the arch.

Money well spent - The start was not very fortunate as there was no rep on time at the meeting point and we all were rather anxious. I even had to call the office. After that everything was fine. Our guide, Barbara, was not only very confident and knowledgeable but a good carer. Good sense of responsibility. We learned a lot. Thank you Barbara.

Incredible sites to see. - This is an amazing tour packed with history. Touring the forum and Palantine Hill was so interesting and beautiful. The Collosseum stop is last. My only critique is we could have spent a little less time in the Forum and Palantine Hill and gotten to the Collosseum quicker, where I wish we had had a few minutes to explore on our own. Overall this was a fantastic tour, but the pace could have been a little quicker as we received almost too much information.

The tour guide was fantastic but the company rep simply arrogant - I would Have given five stars by the company rep was rude and just completely blanked me. I’ve booked the tour through TripAdvisor and when I showed him my paperwork he simply wouldn’t check me in completely ignore me. It wasn’t until I spoke to one of his colleagues he then made him check me in. I don’t know what is problem is with TripAdvisor but I only booked their tour because of the reviews on TripAdvisor. The positives the tour was fantastic the guide was interesting funny and because we asked lots of questions it overran by half an hour but she was more than happy to continue. It’s a shame about the company Repps attitude but the tour guides are fantastic .

The sights were amazing,... - The sights were amazing, but our tour guide was very difficult to understand (he spoke very fast with a very thick accent) and boring (it was more of a lecture) so we had to figure it out between our family and others in the group and google some. Either he didn’t introduce himself or we didn’t understand so we never got his name… we were the blue group. I think it could have been amazing with a different guide.

Avoid this tour company and this app! This is my 2nd terrible experience here. Never again! - Terrible experience with this tour company. I was unable to reach anyone to reschedule or cancel due to the scheduling conflict I've encountered related to my other tour, which is the Vatican. It was an unavoidable change. I've contacted Aviator and they were absolutely not helpful and passed me on to the tour operator. I've messaged via this app several times and called the number provided by Aviator. No answer, it kept ringing. I paid a lot of money for a tour that I was never able to contact. I've requested refund but of course, that's just as impossible as reaching anyone. Avoid this tour company and this app! This is my 2nd terrible experience here. Never again!
