Guide had not done a tour since before Covid! Never got to see the underground because he did not know how to get to it. We wasted a half hour to forty five minutes while he tried to figure out what lines we were supposed to be in for the rest of the coliseum. Did most of the Forum tour from outside looking in and only saw a small piece of it because he didn’t know how to “skip the line” there also. They reimbursed a small piece of the cost but should have refunded the full amount. Paid for a premium tour. Was thoroughly disappointed. Please avoid Tours of Rome.

We had an incredible 3.5 hour journey with Franz and Tours of Rome through Ancient Rome and all levels of the Colosseum. He was personable and extremely knowledgeable regarding historical information as well as the social and political aspects of Rome’s evolution. His use of visual aids provided a time lapse view of multiple structures that was very helpful. His expertise and love of his job will tend to remind everyone of their favorite teacher.
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and can recommend it to everyone without reservations.

This was an amazing tour! Our guide Francis, was outstanding. Super knowledgable. We did the underground areas which only a small number of people are let down to at a time. Also did the palatine hill and forum. The guide really made this experience and we learned a ton. Would highly recommend!

Our tour guide, Francis (oh I hope I got it right), was truly amazing. His enthusiasm for the subject matter is contagious.
Take some water and be prepared for a true history lesson.

Very thorough and engaging guide for the Colosseum and Forum. We did not get to do the Underground Chambers because the tickets were not purchased in time even though we booked months in advanced. We could see down into the Underground from above. We went on a Sunday when the Vatican is closed and the Colosseum was very crowded.

Early access with skip the line a must. Private tour was perfect. Great history and information. Stopped for photos. Went at our pace. Showed us everything. Highly recommend

This must be the worst tour that we have ever had. We booked this expensive 3.5-hour private tour (staring at 9:30am) for months in advance as we planned to stay in Rome for 3 days at the end of a cruise. Few days before reaching Rome, we received a notification from Viator saying the underground was closed for public and they offered us 2 options: cancel the tour vs. partial refund+another tour at 4:30pm. Since we were still on the cruise, we had not much time to search for another tour so we accepted the second option, When we showed up at 4:30, there was already more than 20 people waiting for the tour to start. The tour guide was a nice lady but her English was impossible to understand with heavy accent. She also told me that she had been running other tours since morning and she looked tire and exhausted. She was trying to do the best she could but we could only understand half of what she was saying. She ended the tour around 6:40pm which was less than what we originally booked for. As we paid $440 for the original tour, with the partial refund of $155, we still ended up $290 out of our pocket for a tour that should cost much less. As we did more research after we got home, the underground has been closed for sometime and they should not even offer this private tour in the first place. We believed we were misled from the beginning and ended up paying a lot more than it worth. We would rate this a zero star if we could. What a waste of time and money on our side.

Unintelligible commentary, no underground tour, I have requested a 50% refund as I could have paid half the price for a self guided tour without the stress of trying to decipher the commentary. I am sure the guide is quite knowledgeable but when I book an "English" language tour I expect clear understandable English. I consider a 50% refund request generous.

Marco gave us a great tour! Some of our group got lost, costing us some time, but he gave up his evening plans to spend more time and complete our tour - vast knowledge of architecture and engineering! Very enjoyable.

Complete con. We booked this very expensive tour on the understanding that we would be on a rare tour of the colosseum underground, but we weren’t shown the underground. The tour guide tried to fob us off saying the arena was the underground. No response or apology from the tour company. Avoid at all costs.
