Awesome experience - Awesome! The very idea that all those things were built so many centuries ago. Loved we only had 8 people in the group. Guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Lina, was respectful of the older individuals, we had 4 over 75 yrs old and watched after us carefully. More walking than we expected, but all was good.

Incredible Rome! - Great organized tour from start to finish. Hotel pickup was on time and so was the start of the tour. The Colosseum was just incredible, especially because our great guide gave us so many interesting details about ancient Roman life. He made everything come alive. There was a lot of walking, but even though I am 76, I could manage. I never felt pressured to move faster. The guide was super about that. We had numerous stops for explanations, so that too made the 3 hours quite manageable. This was one of the best tours I took in Rome.

Not recommended if you’re on a tight schedule - First off, I want to start off saying how when the tour began, I was getting very disappointed with how it was running. This was our last day in Rome and I booked the morning tour for 9:30am, with pick up around 9am. This was strategically done to avoid the heavy crowds, and so when it finished at around 12:30pm, I would have time to do last minute errands, (souvenir shopping etc). The tour company then texted me 2 days prior that they would have to move my tour to 11:30am, (which would now end around 2:30pm). This would be smack dab in the middle of full crowds. I had no choice but to keep the tour at that point because it was my last day anf that was the only opportunity I’d have to see the Colosseum. The day of the tour came and the driver picking is up arrived a little late. Not a big deal at all, but he was not friendly. He wasn’t rude or anything, he just wasn’t friendly. No greeting, no good morning. He just jumped out of the van, asked if I was waiting for the Colosseum tour, and when I said yes, he motioned us to get inside. The reason I gave this a 5 star review was because of our tour guide, Rita. She was AMAZING to say the least. She was so informative, and so passionate, and very funny. She was the sunshine to what started as a cloudy day. We loved her. She ended the tour taking everyone’s photos with the great colosseum background. Rita made this day a truly memorable experience.

Very disappointed - The guide was pleasant However I had booked the tour months in advance at 9.00am. 2 days before the tour I had to change to 4.00pm. We started over 15 mins late. We could not spend anytime on lower level of the colosseum because we had to be at the Forum by 5.30. Had to hurry through the Forum and leave at gate we came in, not able to walk through the lower level. Very disappointing for what should have been a wonderful morning tour
