This was a great tour especially for summer to beat the heat. The Collesium at night is so pretty, down in the underground is very special and gives a perspective of the gladiators as they were about to come up to battle, very cool... The guide was great, very knowledgeable.

Seeing the Colosseum at night was a wonderful experience! It was so nice to have cool, quiet space to contemplate all of the history.
Horrible Experience!

I am extremely disappointed at this tour. While I understand it is out of your control canceling a reservation I made back in March 2024 is inconsiderate. If you had no idea if this tour would open up then maybe you should not be promising and selling it. Now I am stuck trying to find another tour to try and see the underground and arena. Please do not trust this company. Regardless of your refund which was processed quickly, my trip is around the corner finding tickets for the arena and underground is becoming almost impossible because my trip is soon. Please take into consideration peoples time and the fact that they trusted your site.

Our tour was cancelled despite booking months ago. We had to book a similar tour through a different company. Extremely frustrating experience.

The tour was canceled and refunded without explanation only 1 month before the scheduled date, which means that we no longer found similar tours.

Showed up as instructed for the tour. No one was there. Called the number listed and was told that it had been cancelled a month before although I never received any communication (searched email, spam, junk folders) that it had been cancelled. I took a train from Florence in order to see the Colosseum. Never got to see the inside. Very disappointed in how this was handled. I would’ve gone on my own during the day if I had known that the tour was cancelled. Absolutely no communication to that effect. Very unprofessional in my opinion and now I have to check with my CC that the tour that I paid for in February has been refunded.
Colosseum at night is best

Awful experience - Exotic Rome was unprofessional and disorganized throughout. Our original booking was cancelled and refunded last minute. We were able to rebook to a different day - we came to the meeting point at the appropriate time, but they would not allow our family on the tour and did not refund our money for the second booking. Please save your money and trouble and avoid this company.
They crushed our dreams.

We never got a tour. We reserved weeks in advance. They cancelled with short notice. They tried to call, but we had spotty reception in Rome. The Wifi worked, but there was no email of the cancellation. He insisted, and I showed him my inbox that had dozens of other more recent emails, but none from them. He finally admitted there was not an email, but that they called. He said he tried 4 times, then showed us the missed call to someone else with 3 attempts. (Not 4). Under it was my number with one missed call to me. I showed him that my number was the one with one call. He said again that he tried to call at least four times. His screen was still up, so that was not true. We were terribly disappointed. We had waited at the meeting point almost an hour early and spent that time snapping some pictures since it was a bit early to check in. When we checked in with the guide, still early, he said we had to wait a minute. He started looking things up and called someone. After all that, he looked at his watch, (STILL 12 minutes early) and said it was too late, and that if we were there earlier he could have helped us. This frustrated our family since we were there early, but he did not try to find us, and we didn't know or we would have found him. We were literally less than 100 yards at any given time (most of the time closer) for over an hour because we were very excited for our tour. It was just really disappointing customer service. In addition, he kept trying to blame us somehow for their mistake. It was an overbooking mistake that they could have called about weeks before but waited until less than 24 hours ahead and never emailed. They said they would refund us. We will see. If you actually want to take the tour you book, try a different company. ExoticRome is definitely not the best choice. We did a Vatican tour with another place the next day and it was seamless! Not all tour companies are created equal. This one can take the reservation; they just can't keep the reservation.
