Really easy, great trip - Only took a few minutes to wait for security check at both the colosseum and Roman forum, really easy to get in. Very helpful host, explained all the information and sent the audio guide app information so we could download it the day before. Would recommend downloading the audio clips beforehand as there is limited signal in the colosseum. Overall great trip, would recommend.

Good experience - The guide was friendly and helpful. The audio was hard to understand at times due to the audio guides annunciation. The audio guide was too short. We expected more for what we paid.

WONDERFUL AND EXCITING (AT LEAST FOR ME) - COUNCIL, YOU HAVE TO LEAVE EARLY, BEFORE 10. THEN A LOT OF PEOPLE TURN OUT. AND THAT'S OFFSEASON, I DON'T WANT TO IMAGINE PEAK SEASON WITH 35 DEGREES. STILL WORTH IT, IT'S A WONDERFUL PLACE.

A packed visit - Beautiful sunshine during our visit to this amazing site. The coliseum though was packed tight with visitors which made our experience quite chaotic and at times unpleasant. There are simply not enough bathroom facilities to cater for the amount of visitors and a 30 min wait is just not acceptable. Was supposed to be one of the highlights of our visit to Italy and all I can say is I’m glad I’ve been before.

Coliseum disappointed but very pleased with the visit of the Roman Forum and the Palatine Mountain - Coliseum: Many people, difficult to enjoy the visit. Looks more like an open-air shop than a historical monument. Forum and Palatine Mountain: beautiful, beautiful gardens, pleasant walk. We had a great time with family

Amazing ruins, too many visitors - Absolutely amazing ruins, but the Colosseum experience is somewhat ruined by the sheer number of people at the site - everyone is vying for a view into the Colosseum arena, holding mobile phones up in front of their faces, pushing to get the best viewpoint etc. I went to the Colosseum many years ago and it was a much more relaxed experience where you could wander around in a less herded fashion, with more viewing opportunities - a lot of these have now been closed off as there are different experiences available - the "full experience", the "VIP lift experience" etc., almost a Disneyfication of a truly great monument

Great site, but too many exclusions for the price - The Colosseum was great. However the audio didn't not work properly, and the ticket excluded the majority of sites on Palatine Hill in a way that was not made clear at the point of purchase. overall poor value for money.

I wasn’t impressed - We got to the meeting point20 minutes early, didn’t see a representative anywhere so just queued with everybody else, “no skip the line”, which we paid for. The audio download was fairly pointless. I wish I’d paid for a human guide.

Scam, completely pointless, go to the official site and buy the same thing way cheaper. - Typical of so many 3rd party booking companies around Europe these days. Completely pointless ripoff, bordering on a scam. Pay way more than what you would for tickets through the official site. If you have any sort of ability to find the security check-in queue (hint: look where the other 500 people are standing) then the local representative is pointless. You can get skip the line tickets through the official site ( just like these companies do). The audio guide app was fine, but barely more than what you’d get from reading Wikipedia. Can hire audio guides in most places for way less anyway. Only reason we booked with them was because they had ticket times available that had been sold out on the official site. Probably because they’d bought them all up. These companies are everywhere, are a complete scam, and a real shade on European tourism these days.
