Twilight Colosseum Tour – Incredible Experience with Mary! - We had an unforgettable experience on the Twilight Tour of the Colosseum, thanks to our amazing guide, Marianna (Mary). She went above and beyond to make the tour engaging, informative, and enjoyable. Mary’s depth of knowledge and passion for Roman history brought everything to life, and her kindness and professionalism made us feel completely at ease. She took us to the main floor of the Colosseum and explained everything so clearly — her English was absolutely amazing. Mary also pointed out the best spots to take photos and even offered to take pictures for us, which made the experience even more memorable. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Rome – and if you’re lucky enough to have Mary as your guide, you’re in for a truly special experience!

Awesome Experience & Excellent Host! - We took the twilight and had an amazing time. The tour lasted almost 2.5 hours. Sandra was an amazing guide and shared tons of information about the colosseum and forums and was able to arrange so we were the last group leaving the colosseum and able to get great pictures with no one else in them. We had an awesome time! Definitely the best of our colosseum experiences and we have been several times. This is the only tour we have done with Crown Tours but based on the quality of this one I can’t recommend them and Sandra highly enough!

Tour was not as advertised - The guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic and it was good to learn a bit about about the history. It was also helpful getting a type of "skip the line" entry as we got in quite quickly, albeit it was 5.45pm so there weren't many queues for the general entry. However we didn't actually get the tour we paid for. Our Twilight tour was meant to include an Imperial Forum Road tour component - the website very clearly described a walking tour outside the Forum after the Colosseum. Our. This is clearly stated in the Twilight Tour description and where the tour is meant to end (which is not at the Colosseum). However the tour ended inside the Colosseum. The guide took back the headsets for all 25 guests and there was no discussion or option to complete anything further. I felt abut sorry for the guide as he said is was his 3rd tour that day and it was very hot and it was the end of one of the day. I do find it hard to believe he would simply not fully complete the tour he was assigned. However I note that when we arrived to check in at the Crown offices, they tried to up-sell us to a smaller more personal tour which we declined (we saw a tour leave at the same time with 2 people on it). So I'm not sure if they just put us on a Colosseum-only tour. We specifically chose this tour as it had the extra bit about the Forum walking, it stood out from many other options which were Colosseum only (and was a nice compromised to actuallt going into the forum) Given the hefty price paid and what was advertised, the tour should have been completed as advertised. I wrote to Crown Tours with feedback to give them the opportunity to comment as to what happened and they said they would look into it but never responded to me (it's been weeks). So I am leaving this review and I would not use this company again based on this.
