    Trying to find Gabriel, person we were supposed to meet, was confusing. We actually never found him. After asking around we talked to someone who could help us. Also the download for the guide was challenging.

    Was not impressed at all for an Audio Tour!! Picked up our tickets with a guy sitting under a tree. Very unorganized. Inside the download Did Not work on my daughter’s phones. A audio guide should have a number or automatically pick up when going past a statue or building so we know what it is .

    The meeting point was not close to the Colosseum, thus in return we missed the opportunity to visit the Colosseum after traveling so far for this unique experience. It was not a great experience to have gone through for my birthday trip.

    Tony was an amazing guide. Full of knowledge and kept the entire group engaged. Explained details about the collesium, palatine hill and roman forum in a way that I will remeber the details for years to come.

  • Great experience with my family, including the kids.

    this tour is advertised as “colosseum entry with arena entrance” but in reality you’re only allowed access to the arena space and not the rest of the colosseum.
