Informative tour made great by our exceptional guide. The detailed historical information provided this lady (Rita? I believe) was excellent, and I enjoyed the Palatine portion as much as the Colosseum. Also, it was raining the day of my tour, and I had trouble finding the group at the meeting point (they were on the other side from where I was standing). They called me to assist me in finding the meet up, which I greatly appreciated! Overall, a really professional and detailed and enjoyable experience.

This was a great tour, once we were able to find our guide. The meeting point was not exactly at the arch, but about a block away. It was difficult to hear / understand our guide approximately half the time, but I think it was because we were in a large group in a very crowded area. Our guide was very knowledgeable and answered any questions we had. Overall, we really enjoyed touring the 3 spots.

It was a great tour. Unfortunately, I cannot remember the tour guides name. She was a female. Putting the first names of the guide in the email record would actually help us give credit where it’s due. Also, it was a little difficult to find the meeting place. If the person could get a larger sign or hold it up higher, it would be a lot easier. Also, it said to meet at, Constantine’s arch. I saw where it was on the map and walked to the nearest arch Which was actually the incorrect one. When I finally found Constantines, it was under construction and not very easily to identify as an arch at the moment. I think the tour was very useful. I really enjoyed going up on the hill and seeing the great views, Then walking through ancient Rome was a very like going back further in time I’ve never done before, And finally is its own peace of magnificence. Just be aware that the steps the Colosseum are very high and it tires you out more than traditional steps.

I highly recommend anyone visiting the Colosseum to do the tour. You will miss out on so much interesting information as you go through the visit. The tour guide was amazing and full of history and information. The added bonus is you get to skip the line and make entry faster. Well worth the cost.

We arrived earlier than the expected time in order to find the right tour guide. Eventually we have to send WhatsApp to the company to get a picture of the meeting point. Better to include the picture in the booking confirmation. Less panic when it comes close to the meeting time.
