1.00Very expensive and useless. It only gave us access inside with a recording sent on a text. No headphones, not guide.

1.00Booked months in advance. About to fly today and just received an email to say they’ve cancelled out tickets with two days notice. So left with either paying 3x the amount for a 5:00pm ticket or nothing. Total scammers
Amazing at sunset.

5.00Was great to go at our own pace. The tour was at sunset, which made for amazing photos. Unfortunately, we didn’t have time to do Palestine hill or the Forum. If you bookmark later entry into the coliseum Mae sure to do the other activities first.
Enjoyed

4.00Wonderful to see. When you choose to see the arena as well, you have to go there first because you can't get back into the route that easily. Didn't always find the audio tour completely clear because they also talk about the area next to the Colosseum. Enjoyed how big the building is and how handsome it is that this was once made by the Romans
Nice visit

4.00Beautiful visit, the Coliseum is beautiful although the visit is opposite in a directed direction. The forum and Mount Palatino do a crazy good after the Coliseum crowd. Be careful if you are close to closing times, the guards do not hesitate to push you to the exit 😒

5.00Happy that we got the tickets I’ve had a time. The lines moved fast and having the pre-bought ticket is a must. The audio guide was good, but definitely would prefer a person for tour guide for next time. It was hard to listen and navigate through the Colosseum at the same time. The audio guy did seem like I had a good amount of information, but it was difficult to do the audio and the in person died at the same time.
Provide better information

3.00Instructions were very confusing. The directions we were given to meet the guide were incorrect. When I texted him, we were told to go into the entrance. The audio guide was too large to download and we were not able to use it.

5.00Self guided tour was good. The audio was only 30 minutes so not really a guide per say but still well worth it. We were able see the Colosseum then have lunch before heading into the Forum. The Forum was my favorite part. It rained all day and it didn’t stop anyone from exploring.
Incredible
