Ilaria, our tour guide was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and on a very hot day was considerate, trying to stop and talk in the shade wherever possible. My friend and I were overwhelmed by both the Colosseum and Forum. There was so much history and all so interesting. Thank you Ilaria for such a wonderful tour.

My wife had a medical issue so we couldn’t go. I asked for a 50% refund and they refund. I tried to resolve but they refused

My wife, two high school sons and I had a fantastic experience on this tour. It was great that it started with Palatine Hill and finished with the colosseum.

An excellent tour! We saw so many wonderful, historical sites and our guide was a wealth of knowledge! Will definitely schedule with Viator again in the future!

Tour was fair. Too many people on this tour. Patricia went too fast and we lost her. Customer service did not help and we did not get into the Coloseum. We were quite upset.

Excellent tour with Vivicos International Travel. Tour guide was Luciana (Lucy). Really informative tour she did well bringing into modern times with the Seasons of Rome. She told us where we would top for toilet and water top up before we started. Kept the group together and you could tell she was glad to be back after no tours for 2 years due to Covid. Highly recommend it.

It was easy to locate the group and well organized. Our tour guide was very friendly and knowledge- absolutely the best tour while in Rome!

Tour guide was late. Took us around the museum displays in the Colosseum and regurgitated what I could read myself. Palatine hill and Roman forum were rushed because of eminent closing time. Tour was in general half-assed and not worth the money.

Martin H

Barbara, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable, funny, interesting, clear with first class English and fun to be with. The whole experience from start to finish, some 3 hours later, was exceptional.

Aaron_K

The Colosseum is fantastic, helped along by our amazing tour guide Barbara. We walked through the gladiator entrance and were able to stand on the arena floor. Putting yourself in that perspective is like no other and I would highly recommend doing this. Palatine hill and the Roman Forum were great as well but the Colosseum was the best part.
