Roman Forum Tours

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.

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!

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!

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!

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

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.

Our family had a thoroughly brilliant afternoon touring these amazing sites in Rome, led by the brilliant Lorenzo who was an incredible font of knowledge regarding all the sites we visited, he answered all questions and had a great sense of humour. I cannot recommend this tour enough.

It was great trip to coliseum. Our guide was good and seemed to be informative about the history. We were able to check out Coliseum, form and Palatine Hill area and got lots of historic information and saw all the historic buildings in person. Entrance to Coliseum was extremely easy with our guide. Highly recommended.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Jessica was my tour guide and she was amazing. Her historical knowledge and interesting story helped me to engage more during the tour. Also she knew all the great spots for pictures and breathtaking views. I am glad that I did the tour with Jessica! highly recommend!!

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.

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.

It was great value for money. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and was able to communicate the history vividly and enthusiastically so you could not help to be enthralled. I struggle with an issue in my back and neurological issues, the guide was patient and took that into account. Great value for money, great guide, would highly recommend!

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).

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.

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.

An amazing tour, definitely worth seeing these sites with a guide to get the best experience. The knowledge and interactivity of our guide Yuri helped make the experience much more memorable! The Colosseum really was the main event however the Forums and Palatine Hill were just as interesting and beautiful.
