    Francesca did a great job taking us on this tour and provided a lot of insight into the colosseum, like how it got its name and the history of the area. I highly recommend this tour and our guide! She clarified myths and misconceptions about the activities and people of the time. She also helped us understand culture and customs of the locals!

  • Do not book. What a disappointment.

    DO NOT BOOK THIS EXPERIENCE. i recieved multiple emails confirming my booking in fact changing the time from 4.1 5 to 4.00 to 4.30. I checked in, received the device to hear the guide, waiting for 45 minutes for it to start.... only to be told its fully booked, heres your entrance ticket go and look round by yourself. They claimed they tried to phone but no evidence of that, and i had multiple emails confirming so why not email?. Terrible experience for my first and only chance to see the Colosseum given I live in Australia.

  • Good tour of the Colisseum and the Forum

    Tonia was very knowledgeable and shared good information throughout our tour. Her English was very good, but unfortunately it was still difficult to understand her and we missed things for that reason. That was the only reason for 4 rather than 5 stars. Ideally it would have been nice to balance the time in each place a little differently to allow more time in the Colisseum. I would like to have had more time there, although the info about the Forum was quite interesting.

    Be aware of the need for printed or pictures of your psssport photo page or drivers license. I couldn’t believe we didn’t know this in entering security . Why we weren’t given this info!!! We almost weren’t let in after spending $$$ on tickets!!
