Great tour. - It was difficult to find the meeting place for the tour. Otherwise it was great. It may have helped to indicate the intersection we should have the driver drop us and/or and photograph of the meeting place.

Great Colosseum and area tour – highly recommended - This was a fantastic tour, and I would highly recommend it for anyone that wants a genuine experience in the Colosseum. Our tour guide, Dennis, was very knowledgeable, and engaging. He had a knack for knowing how much information to give before moving to the next place. Never bored, but didn’t feel rushed. With the crowds, very glad we did the skip the line, pre-bought tickets so that we didn’t have to deal with figuring out where to lineup as many people were trying to do.

Amazing experience - Great experience! Our guide was Luka and he knew a lot of the history and was able to answer all of our questions. Great guide. Definitely come prepared to be on you feet half the day! It’s definitely worth it. I came with little knowledge about Rome Anchient history and left with a lot more knowledge for sure.

A must do on your trip to Rome. Don't try to do it without skip the queue tickets! - This is a must do tour while in Rome. Our guide was fantastic, and very enthusiastic in the information provided. He covered all 3 areas at a comfortable pace, regardless of the large distance we had to cover and made the stories so interesting. I would highly recommend doing a tour as, aside from the much longer queues without fast pass, you will not understand why the ruins are so impressive and important without the expertise of a guide. I would do this tour again in a heartbeat.

Breathtaking - I’m giving this tour a 4 star rating for the overall attractions. Unfortunately the English speaking guide was difficult to understand, walked very quickly ahead of the group and used a black umbrellas as his marker for locating him. There were a lot of people which made it difficult to find him at times and he seemed to always walk ahead of the group. Pay attention to your young ones the can definitely get lost in that crowd. The attractions were breath taking and amazing!!
