    Crown tours was horrible! The girl at check in was rude and condescending. She could've made the situation better but she was determined to be ugly to us. We cannot recommend any tours through Crown tours.

  • Professional and organized tour

    Really professional staff and set up. The Crown Tour place really took care of us. Definitely worth the money. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly but unfortunately sometimes, I couldn’t understand what he was saying as his English was good but still confused some words and verbiage. Other than that this was amazing.

  • Satisfied customers!

    I was a bit nervous when booking my excursions through an online website but it turned out to be a very positive experience! We met our guide at their office and walked to the Colosseum. He was a very friendly and knowledgeable man. He gave us plenty of time for pictures and tried his best to find the shady areas due to the heat. There’s lots of walking over uneven surfaces. I suggest considering that if traveling with persons with walking conditions. Otherwise, great tour and I recommend!

  • Excellent colosseum tour!

    Arturo was our guide! He was fantastic! Funny and knowledgeable. Patient with all my 12 yo’s questions. He even went out of his way to show us back to when my hubby was waiting ( he couldn’t finish the tour). I’d definitely recommend this tour! Things to keep in mind- Rome in the summer is so hot! Bring water and a fan and wear a hat (there are places to refill bottles)

    The guide was hard to understand the English , and walked too fast and didn’t always put up fan so she was hard to locate.
