  Getting to the meeting point was a bit of a struggle. Due to incorrect information from officials . We felt it was exspensive for what we did.

• Magical experience underground!

  I couldn't believe how well, preserved the tunnels were. Walking where gladiators once stood was unreal. Our guide was funny and full of great stories. The company handled everything perfectly, tickets ready right after booking, no stress at all!

  The Colosseum Underground tour was far better than I expected. The guide was full of passion and answered every question. Booking with this company was a breeze, clear emails, fast tickets, zero issues.

  Very cool experience with a very knowledgeable tour guide. She told great stories and actively engaged everyone on the tour. A fantastic experience!

  I had to piece all of this information together myself over many reviews and speaking to the real tour guides in Rome, so I’m trying to help get you all of the information I’ve gathered without having to waste the hours (and money!) I did. The experience itself is 5-stars, no complaints AT ALL. But here’s the thing - every one of these underground experiences you see on ANY of these sites, including Viator, is just a scalper robbing you blind. The underground experience is ONLY run by the Colosseum staff itself and ONLY sold through their website. This booking company has nothing whatsoever to do with the tour, they’re just here to get an exorbitant amount of money from their customers by gobbling up all the tickets and reselling the back to you at 7 times the cost (or more!) Tickets for the underground tour are sold directly through the Colosseum 30 days before the tour, to the hour ROME TIME (7 days in advance if you prefer the night tour). The actual price for this tour, the price that will be on your ticket even if you book through this company is €24. That’s right - €24. That’s with the €8 surcharge for an English speaking guide. If you take an Italian tour it’s €18. If you’re reading this with enough time before your trip, congratulations, you still have a shot. Companies like this one steal all of the tickets the moment they come on sale, so you have to be vigilant and be ready to refresh the page and fight the bots for your tickets! The tour itself is just incredible. Our tour guide was a Roman archeologist named Julia and she deserves all the praise in the world. Knowledgeable, kind, and engaging throughout the tour. She answered every question with passion - she clearly loves her job. Again, she is employed by the Colosseum and Roman Tours no deserves no credit whatsoever for any part of her abilities or our experience Oh and don’t listen to the fools who can’t find the meeting points. If you are in any way a capable person with a working head on your shoulders, you will have no trouble finding where to go. Honestly, I can’t believe anyone would have an issue - it’s that obvious. There are also tons of colosseum employees ready to help at every step. Again, whatever company you booked with, including this one, is not running your tour. Don’t go asking them where the Roman Tours group is, they’ll look at you like you’re crazy. They don’t know because Roman Tours only exists to take your money and leave you in the hands of the Colosseum staff The adventure itself is like no other. If you’re in the same boat I was with no other recourse, do it. It’s fascinating history and a beautiful walk through time. It doesn’t matter what company you book with - find the cheapest ticket, and just bite the bullet. Just avoid this nonsense if you can. Happy travels!

• 600% inflation--like buying tickets from a scalper

  All of the underground tour tickets have ben purchased by middlemen who resell on Viator and make a killing. We thought our tour guide was from the company advertising on Viator. No. Our tour guide was an employee of the Coliseum. The Coliseum provides tours of the underground and entrance to the Forum and Palatine for 18 Euros+ 6 Euros= 24 Euros. We paid 150+ Euros a person for a tour whose tickets were bought by this Viator affiliated company and inflated 600%. Now we know. These companies buy all the tickets for the underground tours when they are released 30 days in advance. Don't pay the middle man! Get online 30 days before the day you need and buy your underground Coliseum tickets directly from the Coliseum. BTW: We have enjoyed Viator tours (for example the Rome Trastevere Food Tour). Buying up tickets to corner the market and make a killing is not what we thought we were buying. We'd rather give $100 to the Coliseum so archeologists can continue their good work.

• Short tour/Time changed

  I was disappointed that the tour company emailed and told us we had to change our time to the afternoon, we booked for the morning for a reason as we had other things booked, however the only choice was in the afternoon or the next day and we were not in Rome the following day. We I also a little disappointed with the tour as it cost a lot extra but didn’t really take you through a lot of underground area, it was rather short. However I can say it’s been ticked off and at least we got to see it but you aren’t missing much if you go underground.

• Full experience Colosseo tour

  I would not use the tour company. We arrived at tour site 45 minutes early and we the site with three different tour companies that we were at the correct site. I tried to contact the tour company with no response. We had to buy tickets with another tour company or our day would have been wasted.

• BEWARE!!! We lost over $1,000 booking this tour!!!

  Seven of us/3 generations were to take this tour. It was the focus and highlight of our trip for all…The tour operator never showed up!!!!! we called repeatedly and were told they were here, but they were never found!! My credit card was still charged for this tour over $1000 and even after trying to dispute it with my card company and VIATOR— they would NOT refund my money or give me credit or anything!! Be aware of this deceptive practice!!

• Amazing. Well worth it to...
