Disappointing experience
Niamh W,,Feb 2, 2026

1.00We bought tickets to the Colosseum through this company, however, we were never informed that we would need earphones as we would be using an app on our phones as audio/video guide. This meant it was impossible for us to use the app inside the arena, so we toured the Colosseum with no audio guide. Also, our booking stated we had arena access, however, when we tried to access the arena we were told our tickets did not include access. Disappointing experience.
Very normal, forgettable

AN EMBARRASSMENT

1.00Yesterday we made a reservation to visit the Colosseum in Rome. We have organized the day according to the schedule of that excursion. When we arrive at the agreed point at the time we were asked, we are told that there is an error and that we cannot enter, not offering an alternative option and leaving us unable to enjoy the visit already arranged and paid. They spoiled our day, we made the reservation to have the peace of mind of being able to make this visit today since tomorrow is impossible. It is a shame that way of working, misleading people and little commitment and respect for customers. I won't use it again.
This was very...

1.00This was very disappointing, after a great tour at The Vatican. Ticket collection is far from the entrance. There is no guide or assistance. They literally provide your ticket and an AI app. I would not recommend. Book a proper tour guide.

A Step Back in Time

5.00The entry was quick and hassle-free, with no long lines to slow me down. Visiting the Colosseum in person was a surreal experience. The sheer size and beauty of the amphitheater were even more impressive than I imagined, and standing where gladiators once fought was truly emotional. I was also pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed exploring the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill—they added so much depth to the experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, ensuring everything went smoothly. This is definitely an experience I’d recommend to everyone!
Great experience

5.00I bought the tickets for the Colosseum through this agency and was very satisfied. Simple process and no issues
Waste of Money

- Review from Viator
2.00This was an absolute waste of money. They charge you all this money to allow you to download their app. You can not skip the line, the cellular reception in the Colosseum is limited and you keep losing the app. Do yourself a favor and skip this tour.
Self guided colosseum tour.

- Review from Viator
5.00Ticket office was about a a half mile (10 minute) walk from the Colosseum. Easy to find with Google maps. We had a self guided tour, down load the app prior to picking up tickets, once you receive your tickets, they will give you the code to access the app. If you have trouble or haven’t downloaded the app prior to picking up your tickets, the ticket agent will help you. Overall easy process.
