Fantastic - I believe our guide’s name was Marta. She was fantastic! She has a wealth of information and could provide a running commentary. She made sure we had enough time in both the Forum and the Colosseum. We were so glad we booked this tour.

Worth the Price - Though there were a crush of tourists trying to see the coliseum and the forum, our guide expertly navigated us through the crowd while delivering information about what we were seeing. The tour lasted almost three hours. Well worth the price.

I strongly recommend this tour guide - Great tour! We started at the palatine and our tour guide Jorge was amazing. He was giving facts the minute we started to the very end at the collesum. It is 3 hours so be prepared to walk a lot. We had headphones to listen while we walked and he spoke to explain everything to us.

Terrible experience through viator - Ordered my tix months before only to be told at the start of the tour that one of the 2 adults I paid for couldn’t join us due to a mix up of the names on our tix. If this was going to be an issue, I should have been notified in advance through the more than 5 email reminders I had received leading up to that date. Even the tour guide knew it was an issue as soon as we checked in but he couldn’t do anything about it.

NO SHOW FOR TOUR-BEWARE-CANNOT BE TRUSTED!! - This company failed to show up at the designated time and meeting place. This is after they rescheduled our original time to a new time just the day before the tour! We lost our money for the tour, taxi ride to get there, and precious vacation time!! Phone number to call them was not functioning. BEWARE- this is a very shady company. Hopefully our charge card company will cancel their charge.
