10/10 would recommend - We booked our colosseum/roman forum tickets through Inside Out Italy via Tiqets, 10/10 would recommend. We were given easy step by step instructions to follow, Bugra was an excellent host, he was punctual and polite and was easy to find.

Colosseum and Roman Forum - As a history lover, Rome was the best place to be. We booked through Tiquets. The tour was well organized; the company had to change the time of the tour because of festivities, but this was communicated in advance. Our guide, Rita, is very passionate about her city and its history. Her stories inspired us to see other monuments in Rome. She answered all of our questions and kept the group in check, even in such a crowded place as the Colosseum.

3 hours of exceptional visit! - Hello, we enjoyed our guided tour in French with our Tonga guide. It was a very pleasant experience of 3 hours. We passed quickly for the checks. Our guide was experienced and gave us lots of explanations about the Colosseum, the Palatine Mountain and the Roman forum but also about the history of Rome. In short we did not see the 3 hours pass 😀

The Perfect Tour with Nadia - Our tour guide was Nadia. She was amazing. She was so knowledge about literally everything in sight. She gave us time to stop and take pictures, to ask questions, and just to stop and look and take in all of the views. She helped with showing tickets and made sure we had our ID’s out when needed. She also made sure that we never got lost and remembered all of our groups members. Couldn’t have been better. Thank you so much!

Excellent ticket provider - I booked tickets via Headout although the ticket provider was Inside Out Italy. I was a bit worried that when we got to the meeting point there would be no one there and we would be left without tickets as I’d read some review about Headout that this had happened. Fortunately though this didn’t happen. The representative, Burga was exactly where we expected him to be. He gave us our tickets and explained perfectly where and when we entered the Colosseum. He also advised how to get into the Palatino Hill and Roman Forum and the times. Burga tried to help me load the audio app on my phone but because I couldn’t rey password he instead sent me the link to do this. He was very friendly, pleasant and helpful which helped us to have a wonderful day. Thanks very much

Great guide, average organization - Claudia is an highly knowledgeable guide tour. We love the stories and the details. We just didn't found great because before the tour there was a lot of changes in the day and after the time slot, which affect the other activities we had. All.the changes started on the week before we travelled and jeopardise our other booked tours and plans.

No Show - The guide did not show up and despite trying to contact through the app and through the phone number given there was no response. Since the package included the tickets to get into the Coliseum, we had no tickets and it being an extremely busy day we were unable to get tickets in line for that day. We had only one day in Rome and so we left with only seeing the outside of the Coliseum. A huge fail even though I booked this experience months in advance
