Excellent tour guide and tour date communication. - Our tour guide was highly knowledgeable and interactive with us. She did an excellent job explaining and navigating us through the crowd. The tour service also did an amazing job with communication prior to our tour. Very clear direction and we appreciated the over communication.

Me and my wife had... - Me and my wife had visited the colosseum and the forum a few years ago without a guide. This time we visited with our son and family and we booked the guided tour. It was the right decision Maria did a great job explaining the Roman history. The tour was very informative

Excellent tour with guide Francesca - Well organised trip, good communications. Guide Francesca was excellent, one of the best tour guides we have had. She was informative and gave a superb overview of the Forum and The Colosseum. She was engaging with the tour group and clearly enjoyed her work. Really enjoyed it

Brilliant experience - Really fun and informative tour. Valerio made the whole experience, his knowledge is incredible and he was so supportive of the whole group, even sharing his umbrella with me when it started raining! Would definitely do more tours with Crown Tours based solely on his guidance.

Beautiful! - Thanks to Lidia our guide who paced our visit superbly. The story that has been recreated in this way is really great. We have taken a lot of eyes and can only recommend this guided tour; it is even essential. We are delighted.

Far exceeded expectations. Best guide possible - You think you'll learn a thing or two about gladiators. Nope. You learn A LOT about western civilization, society, history, emperors, the incredible engineering genius of the Romans and their slaves, and a whole lot more. Worth every penny and far more than we expected. Arturo- thank you for your incredible tour. And recs- we loved Augusto restaurant in Testavere.

Guide a Joke - The Colosseum is a brilliant site to visit! Unfortunately the Tour Guide, Anna lisa kept our group in the passageway while she went on and on about Roman vs Christian 'morality'. Literally 1 hour and 45 minutes were wasted listening to her and then she rushed us through the viewing of the site to get us to the Palatine Hill with less than 45 minutes to view the Hill and the Forum (thankfully you can wander through both at leisure to make up for missed sites that did not meet the Guide's narrative). Further more, the Guide was unable to marshall the small (20 person) group which contained people of varying physical abilities. Not the tour one expects at this price.

Solid tour though a bit of info overload - Tour was informative and guide was knowledgeable. It was a tad longer than I would have liked. Prepare for a lot of walking and do yourself a favor and go in the off season when it’s not hot and slightly less crowded (though it’s still very crowded even in March!). And the meeting point in the Largo Agnessi was annoying since they just redirect you to the office up the street to get the tickets and met the group - unnecessary back and forth.
