Excellent tour and tour guide. The Colosseum is swarming with visitors even in the "low season". Having a tour guide to navigate the numerous lines and staging areas alone was worth the price. However, the tour was enriching and the tour guide was expectational. Our family does not typically book tours or packages but to a person the agreement was this tour was a great purchase. Highly recommend.

Our guide was JoJo and he was amazing. Really insightful and great sense of humour. 2.5 hours was the perfect time - lots of walking and exploring and seeing some wonderful parts. I would recommend as if we had walked on our own it wouldn’t have given the environment it’s justice with the amount of history.

We embarked on our tour on November 13th, at 10 am, guided by Luca. The tour commenced punctually but despite the shoulder season there was a significant crowd, resulting in a large group. This, unfortunately, made it challenging to stay connected with the guide. At times, Luca's commentary became inaudible due to the crowd, and his delivery, albeit informative, felt more factual than engaging. Our visit to the Colosseum included stops at crowded spots, where the guide provided specific information. Regrettably, due to the pace and size of the group, many missed the chance to absorb the significance of each location fully. The experience felt hurried, resembling a checklist of landmarks rather than an opportunity to immerse ourselves in the Colosseum's essence. Following the Colosseum, we swiftly moved to the Forum Hall and Palatine Hill. Despite the Colosseum tickets being valid all day, our guide informed us that re-entry wasn't possible after concluding the Palatine Hill tour. This restriction limited our time within this iconic site to merely an hour, which seemed inadequate for tourists investing significantly in this visit. For enthusiasts of history and exploration, I would recommend downloading a free audio guide to enjoy the Colosseum at a more leisurely pace, allowing for a more comprehensive 2-3 hour experience. However, for those seeking a mere overview, this tour might suffice. It is not recommended for individuals desiring a detailed exploration of the site. In summary, while Luca was knowledgeable, the tour felt rushed, lacking the opportunity to truly savor the historical significance of these remarkable places. For a more fulfilling experience, consider self-guided exploration at your own pace.

Very nice preview of the Roman Forum and the Colosseun, Fabrizzio has a very good sense of humor and knowledge. Meraviglioso!

The tour was really good and informative. The guide, Giuseppe, I believe his name was, was very knowledgeable and didn’t rush us through the sites. Only negative, and not the guide’s fault, is the audio these tours provide you with are not the clearest, lists of background noise with the masses of people, and with a guide who’s mother tongue isn’t English, didn’t help me hear all he had to say. Other than this, we enjoyed this tour

Rogelio was an awesome guide! Highly recommend this tour. Rogelio knew the history and told much background before we even got to the coliseum. From Palentine Hill we could see all of the forum. He explained what everything was before we went down which was a great way to do it.
