City Wonders SCAM! We showed for our underground tour of the colosseum today to learn AFTER that our guide couldn’t come down with us (like the other guides). He said it was something with the city and he was “so sorry!” We had to do a self-guided tour (not what I paid for) and then meet him at the top for the rest of the tour. The lady that worked at the colosseum was down there and said “I could tell you many things but I can’t since you paid City Wonders.” Go with another company!! There were other guides down there that knew this company was a scam…the exchanges between our guide and the colosseum made us feel dirty.

This was to have been the highpoint for our Rome visit with our granddaughter. We booked well in advance, but three days prior to our visit we were informed that there were not enough tickets available from the Colosseum, and there was no possibility of getting on any other tour, even without the dungeons visit. It is unprofessional to sell tickets if there is any possibility that they will not be available. This was a terrible disappointment.

We received an email from Viator (city wonders) 3 days prior that our tour was cancelled. Come to find out that the tour itself wasn’t canceled but we were canceled out of it. Apparently, they overbook these tours. City Wonders blamed Trip Advisor. We made our reservation months in advance and we were in the middle of a 10 hour flight when the cancellation email was sent so we never saw it. They informed us when we arrived for the tour at 8:50 am that we weren’t on their list. We were able to get on with another company that day but not on an underground tour. Very unlikely that we’ll ever get back to Rome, so we’ll never get to cross the underground of the Colosseum off our bucket list. The lesson learned is never book tours through Trip Advisor.

Super informative tour with Diego! He's very kind and made sure we all had opportunities for photos. He even took photos for us. He played audio sounds of animals and of cheering at the underground and the higher floors to help us visualize what it would have been like at the time. He provided lots of info and made sure we refilled water and had time to use the bathroom too. Bring at least one water bottle! We did the underground and floor access tour with Palatine Hills and the Forum.

Today we had a great tour together with Renata (from colosseum and vatican tours) to the restricted areas of the Colosseum and the ancient parts of Rome (Forum Romana and Palatine Hill). Renata talked for 3+ hours effortlessly in a nice and pleasant way. We learned a lot and also our children like it despite the long duration and the cold wind. Renata made it great fun! Thanks, Renata!

We really enjoyed this tour with a very knowledgeable and friendly tour guide Renate who kept us entertained with the history, facts and theories as well as local tourist tips. Would highly recommend - thank you 😊

Thank you for providing such a wonderful tour of Colosseum and the Forum. Your guide was very informative and the whole operation went very smoothly. We booked two tours in Rome ( the other to Vatican with another company ) and both proved well worth the money. Keep doing the good job !

First, my family (from California, United States) and I were part of the Blue Colored group. Our tour guide assigned to us named Giulio made “my bucket list” experience even that much more memorable. Guilios obvious passion was such a refreshing delight. The price for the tour is worth it. I am so glad we decided to take a tour instead of blindly trying to take in the experience. Request Giulio if you can. His knowledge and passion just made it. Visited on October 26 2021 at 3:00pm. (By the way; whoever is in charge of the social media and/or web please let Giulio know I would like to thank him personally. He can email me at randymyers726@gmail.com) Thank You.
