Great Historical Tour - Great experience with the audio guide. The line in was not bad at all. You should know this activity is hot during the summer.

Must see - Must see Rome attraction. Be prepared for severe heat during the summer. Bring plenty of water, wet sport towels, fan, hat, umbrella, etc. Anything to heat the heat. But, still very cool to see everything in person.

Nice tour but best for younger people - The VR experience was interesting but if you aren’t used to the VR headsets or virtual reality it might be something that you can only do for a short time. Maybe best for younger people. The rest of the experience was very nice. We were able to enter and explore the colosseum on our own as well as the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill.

Pay more for something better - This is purely receiving a ticket and an app to download. The audio tour is very convoluted and hard to follow and the whole thing felt a bit like a con. We used the entry to the forum also but not sure what we saved, in money and time.

The tour was listed as a... - The tour was listed as a self guided audio tour. It would have been nice to clearly state is was a bring your own device, including headset or headphones. I was expecting a headset to be provided so we did not bring our earbuds with us.

Audio tour very disappointing - The recording was difficult to download as cell coverage in the colosseum is spotty. We had 4 people, 1 could not get the recording at all. We had all downloaded the app before getting there. The audio guide waypoints were not well marked. The audio content was very basic, not really engaging at all.

Do not recommend - We are a family of 5 and I paid alot for the VIP Experience with Arena access tour. The audio app did not work for any of us. It would skip and cut out. It was not functioning properly at all. After awhile of trying to make it work we just had to walk around on our own. I could have just paid 18 Euros pp for the entry fee. I do not recommend this tour.
