This was an amazing tour!... - This was an amazing tour! We were tired from trying to tour the Vatican and St. Peter's Basillica in one day. You need at least 2 days in Rome.

Wonderful, interesting,... - Wonderful, interesting, amazing, jaw-dropping - words members of our group used to describe our tour with Laura with Darth Vader on her stick. She was very knowledgeable and passionate and easy to understand. We definitely would recommend her tour! Grazie Mille, Laura, from your Canadian group!

Excellent Tour! - Excellent tour of the Colosseum, Palatine Hill, and Roman Forum. Our guide, Siena, was engaging and informative, making the experience enjoyable for both adults and kids. The tour lasted about 2 hours and 40 minutes which was just the right length for our children. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Rome.

Skip the Lines, Not the Stories: Touring Rome with Experts - Crown Tours is well-reviewed for its professional guides and efficient organization of skip-the-line experiences at major Roman landmarks. Many travelers note that the historical knowledge and storytelling provided by guides enhance the experience significantly. Some tours may feel a bit fast-paced, but most agree it’s a great way to maximize sightseeing time without the stress of long queues or logistical guesswork.

Excellent tour- just note “arena floor” is not the “underground” - Great tour and tour guide- Mariana M was fantastic providing great info, details, and pace. Her stories were even better with her picture book that helped visualize what the area would have been. Just note that this tour is for the “arena floor” not the “underground gladiator area”. The arena floor is absolutely still with visiting just note it’s the main level. Would suggest the company update the misleading description to reduce confusion and disappointment given the cost. Overall great experience!

It was good, but not amazing - The tour company was very organized and timely, which was great considering the chaos around the Colosseum. But the guide wasn’t able to answer some basic questions from the group, and seemed like he was eager to get it over with. Glad we used a tour company because getting in on our own would have been confusing. I think we just got unlucky with our guide.

Nice guide but couldn’t understand her - The guide was very sweet but her English wasn’t quite good enough to do an English tour so none of us could understand her. This isn’t anything personal, she was very very nice but I was dissatisfied.

Easier way to get a ticket, not ideal audio guide - I booked this because I was confused on how to purchase a direct ticket for the colosseum. I was under the impression it would come with a physical audio guide, but they had me download an app when I arrived. Some of our group were older people who didn’t bring phones, so we instead just had to relay information to them. I don’t remember seeing that it was an app on your own phone or I wouldn’t have booked it. It was still nice that I could get admission when I was so confused on how to buy directly. Their office was really close.

Advanced tickets bad idea - Our flight was delayed, our luggage was lost, and we missed our scheduled time. They absolutely would not let us reschedule for the same day nor refund our tickets. Family is very disappointed to miss out on the colosseum.
