Colosseum - Guided tour of the Colosseum and entrance to the Forum. Samuele, our guide, was very good, the tour lasted even longer than the established time and made the story interesting even for a boy who loves it little.

A very fun experience! - This is the first time I booked a guided tour and I must say what an experience! Our Tour guide Gabe was the best and I highly recommend him! He is very knowledgeable about the History and he made the tour so much fun with his dad jokes and witty comments. We learned a lot from this tour. It is so worth it to book a guided tour and learn more about the History of Rome.

Highly recommend!!! - I visited the Colosseum before without a guide and didn't have access to the underground. This is the only way to truly experience the magnificence of the Colosseum

Interesting visit and competent guide - Guide prepared and able to entertain despite the clogging given by the crowd of parties and jubilee. Carefully touched all the main points of the basilica.

Colosseum winter tour - Brilliant tour guide (Gabe) who never stopped giving us information and hilarious jokes. Well organised tour with easy meet point, seamless entry and the information from the guide just enhanced the experience so much.

Amazing. - The sights are extraordinary and very impressive. Everything is very well preserved. With tickets purchased in advance, this avoids the wait to enter the sites

Tour to St. Peter's Basilica - We made the tour to St. Peter's Basilica with the company Touriks. We really liked the Guide Valentin, who proved to know a lot about the Basilica and explained everything to us in a fairly light and fun way. I recommend it to everyone.

Average - Arrived at meeting point and it was disorganized. A young man took us across the street where we jumped over a small barrier and then waited 15 min for a existing tour to meet us at which point they dropped 3 people and told them to give us their radios for us to plug our ear plugs into. From there it was off to the races trying to keep up with the guide as she hustled through security and initial area of tour. After this and once in the floor of the arena things got better and the guide had great knowledge of the history. We’ve been on many tours and for the price we paid (over 150 for 2 people) I’d have gone for the cheaper 58 dollar tour.

Disappointed - My original Colosseum/Forum tour for Friday was canceled and rescheduled for 3pm Saturday after my 11:15am Vatican tour. I was called Saturday during Vatican tour to leave early to get to colosseum at 2:30. Started colosseum tour at 3pm and when it ended 4:30 or so, and I went to do the already paid for Forum, I was told last entry was 3:30. I paid for the Forum package and was not told they started that portion at 1pm, I was at the Vatican with Viator tour also. I rushed through the Vatican and missed the forum. I requested a refund for the Forum portion 1 week ago, no one has replied. Both tours were great tour guides and very informative. I was very disappointed, they had double booked me.
