This tour was great! Ksenia was so positive and made her vast amount of knowledge not only accessible but wonderfully engaging. It was easy to find her at the beginning and despite the various cues and ticket checkpoints, the entire tour ran very smoothly. I would highly recommend this tour. Thank you Ksenia! 🙂
This was the best tour that we’ve experienced in Italy. Elizabeth is a wonderfule guide and brought The Forum and Coliseum to life!
Great tour. So much information. Well worth the money. Would not be the same on a self guided tour.
The tour was 2 hours around the Roman forum and Pallantine Hill before you go to the colosseum for the last hour. By that time, the children were hot and bored. Shame.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the tour didn’t fully meet your expectations, especially for the younger participants. The Roman Forum and Palatine Hill are rich in history, and we aim to make these areas engaging for all ages. That said, we understand that the heat and duration can be challenging, especially for children. We appreciate your comments and will take them into account as we work to improve the experience for families. Thank you again for joining us.
Natalina was amazing! She gave us tons of fun stories about ancient life, she had pictures to visualize the ruins as they once were, and the arena view was super cool.
Our tour guide was Valeria, a very knowledgeable and sweet lady. My husband got sick and was unable to attend the tour so it was me and our daughter. Valeria helped me with the stroller and waited for me to take the elevator. I had to cut the tour short because it was unbelievably hot and my daughter was getting a bit tired but I truly enjoyed it.
Nice tour. Was super hot! 42C. (Nothing can be done about that and not the guides fault)
Tour moved a little slow through the ruins. Prepare for it. Hat, umbrella, water. Could pick up the pace. Great ending in the Coliseum.
Disappointing. Our guide was a nice lady. However, her accent was very strong and all 5 in our group found it hard to understand. Also, the content of what she said was a lot of individual anecdotes that assumed we already knew a lot about history. Overall we came away having not learnt much.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that the tour did not fully meet your expectations. While we’re glad you found our guide kind, we regret that language clarity and the content structure were not ideal for you. We continuously strive to improve our tours and guides’ communication skills to ensure an enjoyable and enriching experience for all our guests. Your input is very helpful, and we’ll certainly take it into consideration moving forward.
Our tour guide Philippe was excellent, very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He led a well paced tour and kept us in shade as much as possible on a scorching hot day. The tour was interesting and we learned a lot without being overwhelmed.
We did this tour last week with Xenia as our guide and it was amazing from start to finish. Getting to go on the floor was much better than just visiting the 1st and 2nd levels. Our guide was extremely informative and did a good job making sure we were in shaded parts when possible (it was 90+ degrees and sunny). She was super engaging and informative and gave us. She also explained things in a way that brought the tour to life and kept the group moving. Other tour companies have guides that give you information you can find in a text book but not her, we learned a ton of new things! We were visiting Europe and did other tours through other tour companies but this was by far the best. The booking process was easy and clear and they responded to questions I emailed them prior to the tour quickly and courteously. I highly recommend this tour!
Our Colosseum (with arena) + Roman Forum + Palatine Hill tour was good. Our guide was knowledgeable and knew how to get us through the crowded places and line queues without much waiting. I would definitely recommend a guided tour for this one as it is a lot to figure out on your own.
Our tour was wonderful. Our guide was patient as we move through the stairs and ramps. He was friendly and provided great history. We had plenty of time and opportunities to take great pictures. Thanks for the awesome memories!
Loved the tour our guide was fabulous and very informative
Thanks so much
Our lady (Vrenezuelan, don’t remember her name) was fantastic. Give her a raise
I was disappointed with this tour. We booked via The Tour Guy. The title and the majority of the description state, it is a tour of the Colosseum, but we spent the first 2 hours walking around the Forum. More time should have ben spent at the Colosseum. On the positive side, the guide was very knowledgeable and friendly.
Thank you for sharing your feedback — we truly appreciate your comments and are glad to hear that you found the guide knowledgeable and friendly.
We’re sorry to hear that the experience did not fully meet your expectations. We’d like to clarify that the Colosseum Archaeological Park is an extensive site that includes not only the Colosseum but also the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill. While the Colosseum is certainly the most iconic monument, the Forum and Palatine offer a vast and historically rich area that requires more time to explore and fully understand.
We hope this helps explain the structure of the tour, and we truly value your thoughts as they help us improve. Thank you again for joining us!
We are very disappointed as we didn’t get to go on the tour. We arrived on time and met a tour guide who said we weren’t on her list but another guide would be along shortly. No guide arrived. I emailed the company, phoned the company and we were told we had missed the tour. It was a special tour to celebrate my daughter’s 18th birthday- very disappointing. We paid extra then to go into the colosseum ourselves with no guide… overall a terrible experience.
Thank you for your feedback, and we’re very sorry for the inconvenience you experienced.
It appears there was a miscommunication with the guide at the meeting point, especially as several tours were departing at the same time, which may have caused some confusion. We are currently investigating the situation to understand exactly what went wrong.
Please rest assured that we are looking into this matter thoroughly, and we will get back to you as soon as we have more clarity.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience as we work to resolve this.
Warm regards,
Our Colosseum (with arena) + Roman Forum + Palatine Hill tour was fantastic! Our guide, Alessio, was knowledgeable and knew how to get us through the crowded places without much waiting. I would definitely recommend a guided tour for this one – it’s a lot to figure out by oneself (in limited time).
Our tour was exceptional. Our tour guide provided facinating stories and she posessed vast knowledge of the Colosseum as well as Ancient Rome sites. Her love for what she wa doing was on full display. Recommend her highly
We had Tiberius. The tour was poor and disjointed. He didn’t provide a good history of the forum and palatine hill. The colosseum was a better but he was all over the place. The only tour where I haven’t come back with more knowledge than when I started.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. Our guide Tiberio consistently receives excellent reviews for his deep knowledge and engaging approach. However, we understand that every guide has a unique style, which may not resonate with everyone.
That said, we take great care in organizing our tours to ensure they are thorough and informative, covering all the key historical and cultural aspects that a visitor would expect to learn. Even when the style may not be to everyone’s taste, we find it hard to believe that nothing at all from the experience leaves a lasting impression.
We appreciate your thoughts and will certainly take them into consideration to continue improving our services.
This is an excellent tour. It was exact information needed in a perfectly timed pace. Our tour guide was knowledgeable. She took extra time with our kids, which made them feel included and made it more impactful. I highly recommend this tour.
