This skip-the-line tour is perfect for those who find themselves fascinated by the intriguing occurrences of the Ancient world and the remnants of that bygone era which still remain visible to this day.

As one of the most iconic structures in the world, the Colosseum is a vital destination for everyone visiting Rome. On this tour you will learn all about its secrets and hear stories about the gladiators who fought there and the emperors and citizens who watched.

Equally important to see are the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, which once formed the very heart of the city. Walking through the remains of the residences of emperors, temples and triumphal arches, you will learn all about the history of the Ancient city. The Palatine Hill is where the illustrious Romulus is supposed to have started the construction of his city, and from where the great empire to-be grew.

We booked this tour at the last minute as all tours of the Colosseum had sold 2 weeks in advance and this was our only option for 7 of us. Having read what reviewers wrote I was absolutely expecting the worst. However, this tour was a) easy to find, b) on-time, and c) excellent! Our female tour guide (I wish I could remember her name) was very knowledgeable and covered all important information pertaining to the historical sites we visited. It was entertaining and well worth the money. I would certainly use this tour group again.

The guide was so well informed and brought the history of ancient Rome alive. A wonderful tour that every member of our seven person group enjoyed. From the Forum to the Colosseum, it was a memorable adventure.

We did not get entry to the Colosseum, waited 90 minutes in the Heat and did not even get a full refund.

The guide greated the group by telling how much she is looking forward to wave goodbye to us and how she was not in the mood. She told some random facts and left most of the group uninspiried.

Warning for all. Do not go for this tour operator. They are cheating people. We were 10 mins late only and we were not allowed to go for the guided tour.

Firstly, the location is not easy to find. All other tour operators had their representatives outside the metro station but this operator did not have anyone to guide. We reached 30 mins ahead of the start time but were misguided by some locals to go up the hill only to later realize we were wrong.

Secondly, every tour guide allows a reasonable 10-15 min leeway for any customer. It is only fair when you pay 100 euro for the tickets!! We reached exactly 10 mins late and the operator Mr. Osamah spent the next 30 mins arguing with us. Instead he could have easily made us catch up to the tour group. In 10 mins, the tour group would not even have made in past security check and we could have easily caught up with the group. He was extremely rude and obnoxious and a bully. He was with another man who was very aggressive and threatening.

We had signed up for a guided tour. We acknowledged we were late so atleast we could be given our entry tickets to the Colosseum and we could have done the tour by ourselves. This was not allowed as Mr. Osamah said he didnt have any tickets left. Where did the tickets disappear? We strongly feel our tickets were given to some other tourists and tour operator had been opportunistic. As there is only online reservation possible for Coloseum entry tickets, we were left stranded as we couldnt book the tickets online for the same day. We had 1 day in Rome and it was completely wasted.

I warn all of you to be careful when booking with this team.

Irene was an amazing tour guide on our Roman Forum and Colosseum adventure. Not only she was very knowledgable and experienced, but she also had a great sense of humour and made the whole experience more enjoyable and interesting.
Ps. She is also a great photographer, not to mention that she speaks 7 languages.
