Having a tour guide with skip-the-line tickets saves valuable time. We went in straight ahead. Our guide seemed very experienced since he managed every situation even though our group was kind of big. He also provided very interesting information.

The guide, called Radu, was amazing. He kept us interested for the whole duration (2 1/2 hours). He knew everything and had a unique way of talking/presenting.

Grace_K

Our tour guide was Georgea. She was super friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating to all of the guests in the tour. Personally, I would HIGHLY recommend getting this tour. Not only do you get guaranteed skip the line tickets for both the Colosseum and the Roman Forum (Which combined could have cost us an entire day waiting in lines because they were so long and it was HOT out during the daytime!) but you also get a fully guided tour with historical accuracy and information about each and every single landmark! Without Georgea, we wouldn’t really have known what we were looking at and now because we had a guide, we could had the opportunity to truly understand the history of a piece of art or a monument and it made the experience much more memorable and interesting! Georgea was the best for this tour and I would 100% recommend it!

I completely missed the tour because the taxi driver took me to the wrong side of the colosseum. When I got to the entrance, they said I only had a voucher and I had to get a ticket somewhere else. By then, of course, I couldn't get in. Luckily, my trip to The Vatican with Viator was excellent.
