CANCELLATION POLICY

Aggressively bad. Tour started 30 minutes late because they combined groups without any advance notice. Our tour guide was inexperienced and didn't seem to know what was going on. At one point she tried to take us out of the colosseum without taking us on the extra arena stop all of us had paid for. We only bought this tour to guarantee entry - for anyone reading this, look into the Roma pass as a better way in.

This was a fantastic tour. Paolo was hilarious and lovely. His knowledge of the structures and histories were vast and his storytelling style was interesting. I particularly appreciated his recommendations for where to get good and traditional Roman good. This tour was definitely worth it.

Massimo was our tour guide and he was absolutely amazing! We were in a fairly large group, I would say roughly 25 people. He was able to handle a group that large easily and knew great places to stop and talk while telling us about so much history a long the way. He was knowledgeable and I could tell he had a great love for history and for sharing that love. I would 100% recommend this tour to whoever is wanting to visit the Colosseum.

The tour guide was amazing. He was very knowledgeable, I think his name was Michael. We were able to skip the line and that was huge because the line was very long.

This was a very special trip for me with two of my grandkids. My grandson, a recent college graduate, was intrigued by the construction of this amazing structure. Our guide was a true historian & very affable. A great way to see this historic treasure!

The guide was a local and seemed to know the best viewpoints. Tour hit all the must see spots and gave enough information to know if you wanted to explore more later. Missing the long lines was also a big plus.

We found our guide to be moving along too fast for the group to keep up. He was very knowledgeable and had lots of information to share.

Our guide, Marcus, was very knowledgeable and passionate about sharing that knowledge with us. We learned so much! Loved seeing Colosseum plus Roman Forum and Palatine Hill. Those places were just as interesting as Colosseum! Great tour, highly recommend.
The tour time we selected was moved earlier by 45 minutes. We were given advance notice. But just keep in mind that the tour time can change!
