Knowledgeable guide - Highly recommend a guided tour. This place is huge and there are separate entrances for different kinds of tickets. Our guide helped us through ticket line and bag scanners seemlessly. Taken to the best views, must see sites and least busy restroom. Tour took 3 hours (you are allowed to stay at Palatine Hill if your not too tired to retrace favorite spots). So much history shared by our guide, highly recommended.

The Skip the Line was a great way to see these locations with the huge crowds. - The guide was excellent but there were a few glitches in our particular tour that tried her patience and slowed our group. Perhaps the participants at the beginning should be asked if they have the appropriate ID as indicated on the reservation. The second delay was puzzling as two guests had used their ticket provided by the tour guide until it was suddenly not accepted. Our entire group had to wait for it to be resolved before moving on. I felt we were rushed to complete the normal tour as a result of these two situations. Otherwise, it was a great tour.

Great service - Good communication. Excellent staff support. We were late. A staff member escorted us to catch up with our group. The guide was well informed, went at a good pace, and left us time to view on our own at key spots.

Great Experience with the knowledgeable guide - This tour is a must, it was skip the line and line moved really fast. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable. Really appreciate her effort to educate us all. By the time we were around Palantine Hill it got pretty hot and few people left the group. But you are welcome to leave any time if you get tired.

Cancelled at last minute by tour operator. - We booked this tour for a specific time and made other plans around it. Two days before the scheduled date, we were told that that time slot was cancelled. They offered other times when we already had other plans. I was told that this was frequently done. DON’T COUNT ON THIS ACTUALLY Happening. It took multiple efforts to get a refund
