Amazing.. Worth every penny to go to the underground portion. Very knowledgeable and accommodating (took 80 year old mom)

Barbara was amazing!!! This 4 hour tour packed in about 8 hours worth of history and information! Great value bypassing lines and having an expert explain the intricacies of what you’re seeing in the underground of the Colosseum, how it operated and the many uses of the site over the millennia. Barbara got everyone involved and even had us re-enact a few key moments in history! The Forum and palatine hill really need a guide to help reconstruct the area in your mind…be sure to ask for Barbara!!

First guide for Roman Forum was excellent! 2nd guide for underground was horrible. Art history major- no energy, didn’t talk at all about gladiators, importer, games, underground etc, just stones and drones on and on about nothing. I couldn’t help but notice the 20 tourist looking around like they couldn’t understand anything he said and miserable. The access was incredible and thus was my 3rd visit to colosseum. But literally any guide would have been better. The guide literally ruined the otherwise neat experience.

The tour was split into two tours. First was underground tour of the colosseum and second was the forum. Two separate guides and both were excellent. My only complaint was we didn’t realize there would be an over two hour break between the two tours. So what I thought would be a 2.5-3 hour tour was more like 5+.

Great tour. Claudia is a superb guide and made sure we had a great time. She took the extra time to interact with our 6 year old son.
