Great tour and guide - Francesca did a great job taking us on this tour and provided a lot of insight into the colosseum, like how it got its name and the history of the area. I highly recommend this tour and our guide! She clarified myths and misconceptions about the activities and people of the time. She also helped us understand culture and customs of the locals!

Colloseum , Palatine and Forum Tour - Great and knowledgeable guide. Great to see history up close and personal. Hard to believe that some of the monuments are BC. This was a great tour highly recommended

Great guide but poor communication on the company’s part - Be aware of the need for printed or pictures of your psssport photo page or drivers license. I couldn’t believe we didn’t know this in entering security . Why we weren’t given this info!!! We almost weren’t let in after spending $$$ on tickets!!

Confusing check-in - First of all, let me say that we did enjoy the tour. The check in point was very confusing. We had to ask around to other people waiting to figure out who was doing the check in. We did a self guided tour that looked very simple to follow but the stops are not well marked within the Colosseum. I’m sure we missed seeing things because we simply couldn’t find them. I would recommend this tour with a warning that you’ll need to figure things out on your own. Viator was wonderful to work with.

Good tour of the Colisseum and the Forum - Tonia was very knowledgeable and shared good information throughout our tour. Her English was very good, but unfortunately it was still difficult to understand her and we missed things for that reason. That was the only reason for 4 rather than 5 stars. Ideally it would have been nice to balance the time in each place a little differently to allow more time in the Colisseum. I would like to have had more time there, although the info about the Forum was quite interesting.

Disappointed tour - Told to meet for a guided tour but instead of a tour I was given my tickets and told go to the colosseum, then turn right, go in there, when I asked if we was a group he said no use the app!

Do not book. What a disappointment. - DO NOT BOOK THIS EXPERIENCE. i recieved multiple emails confirming my booking in fact changing the time from 4.1 5 to 4.00 to 4.30. I checked in, received the device to hear the guide, waiting for 45 minutes for it to start.... only to be told its fully booked, heres your entrance ticket go and look round by yourself. They claimed they tried to phone but no evidence of that, and i had multiple emails confirming so why not email?. Terrible experience for my first and only chance to see the Colosseum given I live in Australia.
