Colosseum Palatine with Massimo - Massimo was a very good guide. Genuine Italian with a gentle friendly manner, including with lost tourists not part of our group. It was a very hot day, but Massimo found enough shady spots to make tour bearable. Amazing large area of Roman history. If one had more time, there is enough history to see to take separate tours, but the Colosseum fitted quite nicely after the Palatine in our 2.5 hours. Highly recommend tour.

Fun, active learning experience - The guide was friendly and knowledgeable. The ancient ruins got a little long for our 12 year old but we loved the Colloseum tour.

Falsely advertised. Buyer beware. - Misadvertised. The write up explicitely mentions a tour guide, but when I arrived at the company office, an employee told me I had to use an audio app on my phone and then tended to the other dozens of confused customers. The tour includes 44 places of interest, so an audio app is not so practical. I tried it for a few minutes and then just ignored the app. Also note that 'skip the line' is not relevant for an audio tour, despite being advertised that way.

Guided tour Collosseum and annex - Unfortunately, nothing worked. The specified meeting point (basilica) was moved without our knowledge, this we found out on request from other guides. New meeting place, even after phone call with the agency, finally found. There was a note with a QR-Qode. Installing an app did not work. We finally came to the Collosseum with the note and Qode. There was no group and there was no guide. We then only looked at the Collosseum alone. It was a very, very poor performance by their company. MfG Dieter Prehn
