Amazing day at the Coliseum and Roman Forum - Sarah was an amazing guide! Super informative, kind and had a great sense of humor. She was consistently checking in on our small group, making sure we were each getting what we wanted out of the experience. So lucky we got her as our guide!

Walking tour of Colosseum, Forum and Palantine Hill - The expertise of our guide combined with his passion, left a lasting impression about the history of Ancient Rome, its architecture, and the influence it’s had on modern Italy. Henry easily navigated the sites, kept us entertained throughout the tour, and gave us an experience and memories we could not have made on our own. The tour was worthy of our time.

Stop looking & book this! - Viola, our guide, was AMAZING. This was not our first Colosseum tour, so we were surprised when she taught us so many new facts. She was very attentive, asking if we needed rests, toilet breaks, and showing people where to rest when things got too strenuous (like the steps up the Palatine hill), guiding us back for them, and re-explaining info they missed. Her English was flawless and her ability not navigate the crazy crowds was impressive. Two absolute musts for tourist high season: small group (we were four of only 10) and skip-the-line; it's like Disney FastPass for those who know. These two alone make it worth the price; we saw so much more since we didn't have to wait in queues. Crown Tours did an outstanding job with communication. From the initial, "Yay! You booked" message, to text reminders of where and when to meet, to our "Thank you for booking with us" message, we felt very supported. They also helped us via text when our connection got held-up. They are definitely top-notch & we will book transportation with them as well next time since I didn't know they offered this!

Amazing tour! - It was a great tour. Our guide was very knowledgable and kind. The heat (97 degrees) really got to us and we had to abandon the tour near the end to rest and rehydrate, but still appreciated the tour very much.

Max coverage of the Colosseum - Our guide Max was brilliant. Took us through the event with great coverage of the history with a lot more specific insights about what it would be like living in those times. Highly recommend and a well earned 5* rating.

Very good - A very nice and interesting tour. Admission to the Colosseum and the Roman forum is mandatory if you come to Rome and the experience seemed much better with guide, in our case Federica was super friendly and willing to answer all doubts and queries, super recommended! Cheers!
