The Colosseum is a must to visit when you are in Rome. I would book with another company though as we did not have a good experience. We booked to go at 11.30am when it was cooler, however we received a text the day before saying there was a problem and the tour would now be 2pm. We were asked to arrive at 1.45pm to check in etc so we rejigged our day to accommodate this. Upon arrival at 1.45pm as requested the tour guide informed us that there was another delay as we would be joining another tour group and that we would need to wait until 2.20pm outside their offices in the hot sun. There were 3 other couples that had the same timings and us so we all waited inside their office (with the aircon) The tour staff were not too happy about this and did ask us to wait outside which we refused. We were led down to the entry of the Colosseum where we again stood outside to wait for the tour guide to arrive which took around 20 mins. It was very hot and uncomfortable and we were given little information. Eventually we joined the group/tour guide and proceeded with the tour. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable but quite difficult to understand as he had a very strong accent and this made it hard to follow. Overall I thought this was expensive for the experience that we had!

It was wonderful. Make sure you wear walking shoes! The ground is very uneven and the steps are steep.

Guide was pleasant but I would have liked to understand how the colosseum was built and maybe even a video would help and also the guide didn’t make it flow from one subject to the next it was a big fragmented .

We booked our tour for 11.30am as we had another tour in the afternoon. Only to receive a text message that morning, that our was canceled and we was now booked in for 2pm. I phoned several times but no answer, so text the number back to say we can not go at 2pm as had a tour of the Pantheon at 14.30 and please confirm we are on the tour for 11.30 . They replied 1 hour later to say there is no tour but can go at 14.00 or on Friday, (we were leaving on Thursday.) So had to pick which one we would rather see as they was very unhelpful. . As this was booked 2 weeks prior I think I they should have let us know so we could have changed other tour. Great tour once we got there

Went to check in and was told we had no reservation. Told them about email changing time. Wanted me to walk to office and straighten it out. I refused so they put me in 3:30 pm slot which didn’t leave meeting point until 4;00 pm since we were waiting for a few more people. So unorganized.

Andrada was fabulous. So clear, concise and easy to understand. Kept up in the shade which was great because it was 95 degrees and we had a sleeping toddler in the stroller

Tour did not meet at the designated spot. There were 5 others waiting with us. No attempt made by agency to contact us when tour was missed.
