I had a last minute medical emergency and called to change my ticket to a later time slot the same day or one of the following days - I didn’t care much about the new time slot, any time would have been fine. The tour operators took a while to reply and had absolutely no flexibility - I had to forfeit all of my money for an unplanned emergency.

Andrada our tour guide spoke really good English and made the experience really enjoyable. I would recommend her to anyone booking tours in Rome.

This tour guide was great. I think his name was Mario. It was his first tour and he was very friendly and knowledgeable and learned everyone’s names making for a great group feeling. Not crowded too!

Leanne_C

We went to the wrong meeting point and the individual that called us was very patient in helping us find our way. We were late I was so upset as I’m usually very punctual or early. The individual who helped us kept telling me everything was ok. Once our group was able to catch up with the tour my husband tried to give a 20 euro tip and he refused to take it. When we met up with the tour guide she was waiting on us at the entrance to the coliseum. Excellent tour. Highly recommend this company.

Was just expecting the tickets but needed to go on the guided tour. Barbara was our tour guide and excellent however technology, microphones didn't work properly. Had to be write up the front to hear. Due to someone bringing a pocketknife (!) In our tour we were delayed at least 40 minutes as kind Barbara got it back from Colleseum staff rhen again at Forum. Consequently we missed out on the forum as it was closing time and just toured the palace.

Julia_L

Great guide - friendly and informative. We had a nice long walk seeing the forum complex and the colosseum. Our guide was great at managing our group. She was very knowledgeable and told us information that was fun to know as well.

Let me begin by saying that our guide was fantastic. Unfortunately I cannot remember her name. She was very knowledgable and shared interesting information. It was especially nice to avoid the lines and worth the extra $$.

Tracey_S

The tour of the coliseum, Palestine Hill and Roman Forum was very good. Unfortunately our tour guide did not introduce himself to us so sadly we didnt het his name. Our guide was very knowledgeable and very interesting and brought the tour to life. On a negative note, it was very rushed and didn't get much of a chance to take photos before he went rushing off again. But! On the whole it was a very interesting tour and would definitely recommend it.
