Amazing experience seeing... - Amazing experience seeing the Colosseum at night! We were the last group to tour and it was magical being there almost alone. Would love to do it again!

Interesting and memorable - It was a little hard to find the meeting spot because of all the construction going on but eventually we found the guide. Carlos did a great job! Despite there being VERY loud protesters outside the Coliseum and noisy helicopters, monitoring the protesters, directly above us and a ticket issue for someone in our group which caused a slight delay, Carlos did his very best to find quiet spots for us to hear and he made it very interesting. Word of caution: when you book make sure the name on the ticket matches exactly the name on your ID, which you must show to get into the Coliseum or they will not let you in.

Skip the line Colliseum - Great tour though I thought we would be doing the underground and it does not include this part of the tour. Our guide was friendly, knowledgable.

Don't Use Get Your Guide or City Wonders While visiting Rome - We got screwed buy Get Your Guide and City Wonders tour groups. They provided horrible directions to people not from Rome and we called prior and tried to get directions and they did not answer. We ended up a few minutes late and they had already left. Very unprofessional and I will NOT be booking them again. Not only are they trying to screw us on over $1,200 dollars, but they did not even try to help reschedule etc. Do not use either of these companies.

Rip off - I’m very upset. It was my first day in Rome and I didn’t realize how long it would take me to get to the meet up place I tried to reach out and no one was helpful so I lost $400 worth of a tour. It was just me and my daughter There was no offer to help us meet up with our group in front of the Colosseum There were many groups there it was very doable I will not be using your services again I should have known I used the service in Nashville, Tennessee and the entertainment was ridiculous.

Avoid at all costs - I had a terrible experience with the Colosseum by Evening Guided Tour with Arena Floor Access on September 15, 2024. I arrived at the meeting point , followed all instructions, but no guide showed up. I tried contacting the operator for over 20 minutes, but their phone was offline, and they never responded to my messages. Viator’s customer support claimed the operator tried to call me, but I received no calls at all. I have proof that all my attempts to reach them went unanswered. Despite paying a significant amount for this tour, I was left stranded and unable to participate. This level of service is unacceptable. Viator needs to take responsibility for the operators they work with. I’ve been a loyal customer, but this experience has seriously damaged my trust in the company. I demand a full refund for this failed service.
