Our guide was very good... extremely informative and pleasant. Although the tour lasted as described in the itinerary, the schedule was flipped with the Colosseum as the last stop. I felt the length of 3 hours was a bit long for our family. We would have done better with 2.25 - 2.5 hours.

Claude_K

The guide was half an hour late and could hardly walk. He was for sure not the youngest but he was so slow and out of breath we had to skip the Palantine (so no view from the hill) and did only the Forum and the Colosseum. Also we had to wait some 20 minutes to get entry to the Forum, so no skip the line, no fast track. At times our guide was hardly understandable. At the Colosseum the guide was ok in his explanations although he did leave us before we went to the gallery.

We tried getting there but the address in Viator sent us to another place, we tried contacting the operator 20 minutes before without response, when we got there (about 6 min late) we didn’t see anyone. Asked for a refund as they did not answer our calls and the refund was denied. I think this would’ve been resolved had they answered when we were trying to get in touch. Viator isn’t doing anything about it so this review is also for the platform, very disappointed.

BE CAREFUL WHEN BOOKING!! Make sure and double check the language you are booking for. I accidentally booked not knowing the tour was in Italian. My fault totally but when I tried to switch it I did not get any help. The employees from Tours Tours were not helpful at all and pretty rude. I will never use this site again. The tour guide at the Colosseo was wonderful although I didn’t speak Italian.

Boy, where to begin. I selected the tour and in the description it said English was available. I am not sure if I missed where it said it was an Italian speaking tour guide but it was and lady was lovely and gracious. But we had no option on changing it and proceeded with the tour. Very disappointed in the whole thing and wished it were different. I do not hold fault with the tour guide or the tour company.

We had Francisco and he was an amazing tour guide. He spoke really good English’s and answered all the questions we had

Michelle_C

Our guide Matteo was very patient, informative and friendly. The crowds are a challenge at this time of the year and even when you pay for the skip the line there's a wait due to the numbers. It's still worth it. Michelle, Australia

I originally booked a gladiator entrance Colosseum tour for 2pm. The day before I received a phone call telling me that the tour was now at 4pm. We arrived at the meeting point at 3.35pm but could not find anyone, I called the company and was told that they had left at 3.30pm and had missed them. I asked for a refund but was told no. I then called Viator and made a complaint to them, they said they would look into it, I received a message from them saying that they were unable to issue a refund with no explanation.

Our tour guide Lucie was amazing and very knowledgeable. She looked after our whole group and made an effort to make the day as eventful as possible. I highly recommend this tour

Do not book! This company is a scam. Day before scheduled tour the company reaches out and tells me there’s a time change, not a problem. Day of tour we arrive to meeting point and the tour guide says the new scheduled time is a tour in French. No of us speak French so big problem. Tour company says it’s not there problem and will not help in any way. No new tour and no refund.
