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.

I had an absolutely amazing tour and I would recommend anyone who is visiting Rome for the first time to book guided tours for each attraction! Crown Tours is very well organized and the staff is nice, patient and always there to help. I had a true history lesson within those 3 hours and everything made more sense due to the clear explanations. I would love to do it again one day :). P.s: would have loved a walk through the Roman Forum as we only looked at it from above.

Our guide Laura, was amazing! She was very patient and kind with the group, specially seniors and kids, we loved her! She was very knowledgeable, passionate about what she was explaining and answered all our questions, skip the line and the guidance is totally worth it! Would book these guys again :)

Amazing tour!! Our tour guide, Magda was excellent!! She was very knowledgeable and the way she explained everything truly brought us back to the Roman times. There’s so much history it can be overwhelming, but Magda knew how to hit all the major points and gave us a in-depth explanation which made learning about the Colosseum very fascinating. We were a group of 10 and it was the perfect size for this tour.

As with most tours, your tour guide makes or breaks the tour. Our guide (name started with a D- maybe Daniel or Dennis?) was fantastic! He was an archeologist and had broad knowledge about the Forum, Palatine Hill, and the Colosseum. He was able to answer all of the many questions he was asked. We ended up booking this tour at the last second because another tour company canceled our tour with Underground the day before (bummer!) but we were very glad we did this tour.

Elizabeth was an excellent guide. The tour was informative and went at a good pace. We were on holiday with our 10 year old son who enjoyed it too and didn't get bored. Having a small group meant we were all able to keep together and not waiting for people to catch up.

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.

We found the whole experience very pleasant. The meeting point was convenient and easy to find. The guide was very knowledgeable and easy to listen to. We preferred the Colosseum part of the experience more than the forum part but that was just personal preference and why we had booked the tour in the first place. We learned some things we'd never known before and thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon.

Highly educational, very thorough accounting of history. We realize that when traveling to other countries it can be difficult if not impossible to find native English speakers, but the accent of this particular guide was so strong it was very difficult to understand her English. She was otherwise brilliant and clearly lives for this history and archaeology, but it was hard to follow her.

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.

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.

Booked a tour of the coliseum in Rome for 6 of us. Our tour guide was a lady called Alessandra. She was one in of the best tour guides I’ve ever experienced. She is very passionate about the Roman history, so animated, informative and gets everyone involved. We all really enjoyed it. Thank you Alessandra!

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.

The tour was really good and Stefano, our guide, was personable and very knowledgeable. The headset radios were not great and the sound kept breaking up. It was also a shame there was no option for the earring impaired available. The tour ran smoothly except one incident at the entrance to the Colosseum where it appeared there was a discrepancy between number of adult and concession tickets that had been purchased. After about 15 mins this was sorted and unfortunately one person had to leave the tour so be sure to check you have correct details in the booking. One other niggle was that we had booked for a tour of 20 but in reality there were 30 on the tour. It was more expensive to book the smaller tour so I felt a little cheated when place in the larger tour group.

Fantastic tour! Alessandra was an amazing guide who kept the whole group engaged and really brought the material to life. She even kept my two children (9 and 11) spellbound for the whole 3 hours! We had only booked a tour as we could not otherwise get tickets for the colosseum but we are so glad that we did the tour instead of by ourselves.

Highly recommended tour. Our guide, Alessandra, was excelent - very knowledgable and qualified as well as passionate about the topic. She was also friendly and genuine and made this tour a great experience. In my view, it is worth it to pay a bit extra to have a smaller group (max 10 people).

We had Louana (not sure if I've spelt that right). She was lovely and had a good sense of humour. The tour was great - the highlight of my trip to Rome (though the night tour the previous day was fab, too). Lou gave us lots of good info and the handy in-ear earphone was useful because you could hear her clearly and turn her up or down! Fascinating tour - we really enjoyed it. There was a lot of walking, so wear flat comfies!

Amazing tour. Was really worth while! Lumi was very informative, and knew so much about everything! She was also super funny, and kept the whole group giggling. One comment is to make sure you have water and snacks! We started to get hungry with all the walking, and unfortunately there are no options of buying anything to eat throughout the tour. Other then that, it really was stunning!

We had an amazing tour with Alessandro, who was a very experienced guide who welcomed us. He had a clear passion for being a tour guide and put all his energy in, he even had a book where we could see some illustration of how it would look like in the past. We spent a perfect amount of time in the Colosseum to see everything, and ended in the Forum. This was on my bucket list for years and thank you again for making it perfect.

Alessandro was such a fun guide! He was very cheeky and also very informative. He made it a fun experience despite the sweltering heat. It felt a bit rushed to do it all in 2.5 hours but he did a good job of showing us a lot in the time allotted. He even let us take a picture of his local favorites list for food in the city.
