Wonderful way to see the Colosseum

5.00Tour guide was great and filled in a lot of additional information about the history of Rome and Palentine Hill and the Colosseum. It was a hot day and he made sure that we got plenty of water, bathroom, brakes, and most importantly, shade.
Would recommend.

4.00The visit to the Roman Forum and Palatino was very good, with rich information along the way, but I found the part of the Coliseum very fast and superficial, we stayed very little time there and little information was passed too.
Great tour guide.

4.00The tour guide was excellent and very knowledgeable. However it is a very very long tour that starts very early and it should build in more breaks and a short break for food and a sit down

5.00We just finished a guided tour of the Colosseum with Alice, and WOW—what an incredible experience. Alice was everything you could hope for in a tour guide and more. She was extremely knowledgeable and brought the history to life in such an engaging, easy-to-follow way. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does, and it made all the difference. Not only was she informative, but she was also hilarious. She sprinkled in jokes at just the right moments, which kept the whole group entertained and energized (even in the heat and crowds!). What really stood out was how thoughtful and thorough she was with every question. No matter what someone asked, she took the time to answer in a way that felt detailed, clear, and never rushed. She made what could have been “just another tour” feel like a truly memorable experience. Fun, fascinating, and full of personality from start to finish. If you’re visiting the Colosseum, do yourself a favor and book a tour with Alice—you’ll leave feeling like you learned a ton and had an amazing time doing it.

5.00Oh I wish I could remember our tour guide’s name. He was so funny and sharp witted. The Colosseum is so crowded but our tour guide was great at getting us past it as much as he could. He had so much knowledge and the tour was fascinating.

5.00Our guide was great (and pointed out all the cat houses at the colosseum 😺) Aim to get there about 20 minutes before the time of your tour.
