Well worth booking this. - We wanted to go our own way with no guide. This was ideal. Email explained exactly where to go, was really well organised getting in. Exit signs not that clear but otherwise we enjoyed our time. Was really hot the day we went, thankfully we used juice machines inside 😀

Highly recommend if you want to explore on your own. - This was so easy and the communication was great with my tickets and any updates. I’m glad I opted to explore the sites on my own because there was so much to see and it was hot and crowded, so I don’t think a guided tour would’ve for me. Highly recommend if you want to skip the lines.

Good experience in Rome - Ease of getting tickets. We were able to walk right up to the gate for them to scan tickets from my phone.

Great Purchase - Easy and efficient process and definitely worth the money. a guide could be fun but ultimately we liked this better because we had as much time as we liked to explore

Toooo hot - It’s was so interesting due to the weather extremes and high temperatures we didn’t go further than the colosseum but thoroughly enjoy our experience

Rain didn’t stop the fun! - We enjoyed our tour very much! Learned a lot about Pompeii and Naples thanks to our guide Angela and Nicola. Positano is a very charm beautiful town. I wish we could have been there at least 30 more minutes in order to have some time to take pictures, do some shopping, and have a sit down dinner without feeling rushed. Adamo is a great driver. Felt safe the whole time. Things to keep in mind: is a long day trip. A lot of hours seated in the bus. Bring snacks and confortable shoes for walking. Would not recommend this tour for small children. Thank you

We didn't get quite what we paid for - We had booked the earliest Colosseum tickets to avoid the heat and crowds (8:30am). We received our vouchers for 8:30am, as expected. Exotic Rome, however, accidentally sold us timeslots that didn't exist. We were told, with less than 24 advance notice, that they were sorry but we were getting moved to 10am, or we could get a refund. It was too late to book different tickets, so a refund was off the table. We took the 10am, because we had no other choice except to just skip the whole thing. It was absolutely slammed by then and very hot, so much so we never made it into the Forum. The lines there were a mile long in the blazing sun. We did make it into Palatine Hill which was included and pretty nice, hence the 2 stars. Also, there is no "skip the line" at the Colosseum, as we were told when we reached the gate. Using this phrase here in the title is misleading, even if this subtle difference is sort of explained elsewhere in the ticket. You will wait in long lines with this ticket - make no mistake. Further please be aware this does not grant access to all areas of the Colosseum. I do not mean the underground areas. I knew we weren't getting that. I mean just the full aboveground areas. Many of those were limited to certain tour groups. Exotic Rome may say "We offered you a refund so you can't complain." They did indeed offer, but it was too late to make use of another service. At best, this group is disorganized. At worst, it's deliberately misleading. It did however grant access with the tickets provided so maybe you will be luckier than us. Be careful.

Skip the TICKETING line - Read carefully. It’s skip the TICKETING line, not the line. Horrible experience. Not worth the visit. If you want to go to these sights make sure you’re first in line in the morning. The people who work managing the lines are extremely rude and unfriendly
