5.00Carmelo did a great job in taking us through the underground(worth the extra money) as well as the rest of the Colosseum. The history there is amazing and the views were excellent from the very underground and as we moved further up.

3.00The tour guide Christian was absolutely great. Super hard to find meet up location and the tour started 30min early so we missed the first part (they said they call me, not) If it wasn’t for the 5 different Colosseum guides we would have never met up with the group.
Disappointed

1.00Unfortunately I wasn't able to make the tour, as the meeting point was unclear and the provider didn't answer calls or messages.

5.00This was an amazing experience all around. A little difficult to find the meeting spot but once we got going we learned so much !!! Our guide was fantastic! Also we almost were killed in the Colosseum when a full water bottle dropped near our heads from far above! Absolutely worth it, every penny highly recommended. gran trabajo! All we are is ashes and dust próximo! Ashes and dust!

3.00Started rough but ended great. The address/meeting point they gave on the ticket was different from the booking and both were wrong. Thank that I was at the first wrong address 45 minutes before the tour. I asked 10 people and they all had a different answer until I decided to go to the Rome tourist desk and sent me to the tour office and even that it was closed.. I asked another tour guide and he directed me to the right place but what a mess!! They need to figure this one out as all said the same “ that all are confused and don’t know we’re to go” Now the tour is a must. Incredibly knowledgeable guide. You go and skip lines and go places where there is no general ticket owners go. Absolutely fantastic and I would 100% recommend. I’m sure they will figure out the address issue. Book it, it’s worth it!
