Excellent comprehensive tour with Elena our very knowledgeable and friendly guide. It was disappointing though to have the underground tour part of the Colosseum cancelled. This was our main reason for booking this tour. The group we were offered to join instead was meant to have a maximum of 20 people but there were 26.

The tour was great. Luana (not sure if I heard that correctly but she also spoke French and German) was an amazing guide. The history she gave in each sites and the stories/myths about Ancient Rome were so fascinating. It was just the right amount of time to explore the sites.

The tour was amazing! Our guide Luene was so knowledgeable and also an amazing and kind person. I'm a solo traveler, and she always asked me if I wanted a picture somewhere. That was an admirable attitude of her. I appreciate it. We visited nice places, just as the description says. No negative points, I love it.

We had a really enjoyable and informative morning with the amazing Eni. What an encyclopaedic mind, and the guy is funny too. A perfect combination. The meeting point was easy to find thanks to your instructions and being in a group tour meant we got in everywhere quicker. Would highly recommend. Thank you

This was one of the best tours that we had on our Italy trip. Our guide Diego was very knowledgeable and fun. His enthusiasm for this history could be seen in the way he explained everything in the three different areas. When we were in the Colosseum, he made it fun by playing lion sounds in our headsets and a clip of the movie Gladiator to get the feel for the place. I definitely would recommend the guided tour.

Loved this tour, our guide Francesco was very knowledgable and friendly, he gave us a good overview of the history of the colosseum, the forum and the politics of ancient Rome without leaving us overloaded with information. Joining instructions were simple and it was well organised. Only downside was the tour size of 10 was exceeded (13 were on the tour rather then the 10 advertised), and the guides were freelancers rather then employees of the company. We still had a wonderful time and would do this tour again!

My friend and I arrived late by accident (no fault of the tour). They were so incredibly helpful, particularly one person - I believe his name was Costa or Kosta? He and another man got us into the Colosseum, despite being late, and we were able to join the tour. It was also a very fun tour, with lots of "fun facts" about the areas.

If you've never done a guided tour before then I highly recommend that this tour be your first. You won't be disappointed. This was my first time and it was absolutely brilliant. Our guide Alessandra was exceptional! She was so friendly, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, energetic and funny. She made the whole experience. Keeping the whole group engaged throughout. She is an absolute credit and you won't be disappointed if you are lucky enough to have her as your guide. Great experience, great value for money.

There are so many options for tours it can be overwhelming, however I already had the app downloaded from a previous tour, I booked this tour at 10:30am on the same day as we found ourself at a loose end. My mum and I did the 11:30am - 2:30pm tour on Sunday. Our guide Diana, was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. For something that can be so incomprehensible (to me!) Diana was excellent at explaining the incomprehensible with additional books and images! Diana did not rush and we went at our groups’ pace which I thought was nice. Would definitely recommend a bottle of water. I would use this company to book again!

Having a guide is excellent both for understanding how the Colosseum was built and how it fit into the history of Rome as well as simply helping navigate the structure and crowds. It’s helpful to be able to take your time looking at details and imaging how things were, with good narration.

This tour was great overall. We loved the underground experience. Maya was a knowledgeable guide and was very responsive to our group’s questions. Our only downside was not having enough time to listen, learn AND take pictures. Apparently, 3 hours is not enough to deal with 2,000 years of history.

A must do if you are in Rome. Our guide was Alessandra and she goes through every detail & answers any questions people have, you can really tell she loves the city history and wants to share her knowledge. She was also finding out where everyone in group was from and finding out names which was a nice touch, she made it a great experience for my first time in Rome.

We had the best tour guide, his name was Alessandro. He was really knowledgable and thorough. It was a great tour, really informative and interesting. Sadly some of the group members were in a rush to get around the colosseum, probably only interested in the skip the queue benefit to be able to say they had been there. What a shame they missed Alessandro’s expert tour. This tour is not for those in a rush, this tour is an in-depth one, fantastic for anyone with any interest in learning about the history of Rome, the colosseum, the forum and palatine hill. Alessandro kept us all engaged, adults and kids, at all times and answered many questions, nothing was too much for him. I would not hesitate to recommend this tour and would strongly urge anyone planning to book this tour to request a tour with Alessandro. If you are actually interested in spending time hearing about Rome’s history and not just taking selfies, this is the tour for you and he is the best tour guide out there!

Our guide Alessandra was great! We loved her energy and she has a lot of knowledge. She made sure we were involved. Funny and sweet, we highly recommend you'd tour with her the colosseum. The weather was super hot though, we would've appreciated letting us rest in the shade a bit more. Anyways, was super good experience!

Francesca was well informed, funny, and always smiling. She obviously loves her job, and was so much fun as a guide. We were running late and the tour company bent over backwards to allow us to join them and make us feel welcome. The tour was well paced, with lots of opportunities to take pictures and ask questions. She also had great visual aids, including her 'magic book' with all kinds of great pictures to help us envision the sites as they would have been. Overall a great tour. The only thing I would have liked is a smaller number group, but Francesca kept track of us all!

This was a fantastic tour! The tour guide (Luanna, from Albania) was extremely knowledgeable about every part of the tour and happy to answer any questions. She started off by introducing herself and a little about her background before asking each member of the group (20 of us), which country we were from and little about us to get to know us. She then referred to each of us personally throughout which made the experience much more enjoyable. Luanna explained everything with memorable stories and allowed everyone to take pictures, allowing the group to take the time they needed to explore the surroundings and take in all the history. We paid around €35 each and it was worth every cent. The history of the Roman Forum was incredible and the Colosseum, at times, was sobering - to visualise all that happened in the arena and the underground tunnels, all those years ago. I highly recommend this tour, definitely worth doing at least once!

Fantastic guide, Scott, who was very knowledgeable and excited to share it which made for a pleasurable tour. Seeing the underground was a treat as well as the second level. The tour was lengthy but it was at a nice pace and the guide took breaks and made sure we had water. We highly recommend this tour.
