Ali got us in last minute - We had a previous tour cancelled by City Tours in error. That day I was able to book a tour with Viator for the next day at 5:00 pm at the Colosseum. Ali confirmed the reservation and meeting place and got us into the Colosseum on 9/16/24. The only issue I had was that the tour booked was last one and the Colosseum closed at 7:00 pm so we had little time to explore it on our own.

Amazing Colosseum - Despite being a scorching hot day, the experience of the Colosseum was unbeatable. Unfortunately the guides English was not fantastic, and combined with a mediocre audio setup, it was hard to follow along in some places. The Roman Forum and Palatine Hill were just part of a walk through on the way to the Colosseum (so a bit overrated to put that on the tour title). Overall, a must do location to visit. Given the wait time for people without booked tours was between 2 and 5 hours (depending who you overheard), going on a free Sunday you must book this!

Slow tour but good info - The representative seemed disorganized at the start - and took us time to get started. Once the tour started, it seemed to drag on when they should have us moving - at one spot we stayed in that same location for over 30 mins. The tour guide was knowledgeable but it would have been good to have us moving.

Could not locate guide upon arrival. Disappointed. - We booked this experience looking forward to seeing these amazing sites. Unfortunately, we could not find the guide when we arrived, which was early to ensure we had enough time. I messaged the guide and asked where we could find them since we were having trouble and they replied saying where to go. We didn’t see the guide as described and I messaged again. He said to give him a call or to send my number, I sent my number since the only number listed was for Viator. He never called. Only 30 minutes after the tour began did he send his phone number, and it was too late. I reached out to viator and they were not helpful and said they could not offer a refund, which is despicable. Money wasted on something we did not get to do because the guide could not be found. Very disappointing experience with this company and the lack of organization.
