Definite yes! - We had an excellent time on our tour. Our guide was very very knowledgeable & quite young for such INCREDIBLE knowledge! The history of the colosseum is incredible & getting to be inside & imagine it all is just amazing.

March 2025 colosseum trip - I booked this trip not knowing how easy it would be. Found the organisers with ease, I am not sure of the name of our guide but she was superb. Queues were horrific but we had a fast pass with the guide which saved hours. Such an incredible experience which we will never forget. Brilliant value for money and would highly recommend!!

Very enjoyable experience - Very good tour, find the guides with the red jackets and they will instruct you what group to join. You are given a coloured sticker, a device to wear around your neck and earphones so you can hear the tour guide. Great system. There are so many things we would have missed or not known about without the tour guide, especially in the forum where there are so many different ruins. We really enjoyed and would recommend.

Complain. - The tour start it good until we got to the colosseum. We couldn’t enter because are group was late we where supposed to enter at 11:15 but we didn’t, are group got there until 12:15 pm I believe. And the security guards were distracted because of the time so we couldn’t enter.

Terrible Experience - This has been the worst tour I have been on. It was falsely advertised, we didn't get anywhere near the underground at the Colosseum even though it was was in the description and Booking.com confirmed it was included when I messeged them to check. We did the Roman Forum fist, completely rushed it and spend more than 20 min waiting in front of the WC which just complete ate the time (the itinerary said the forum was 2nd which is the other reason we bought this tour), we didn't even go up Palentine Hill. The guide was spouting nonsense most the time and "information" which was dumbed down so much that the posters did a better job than her. We hated our tour and they didn't care. Blamed Booking.com and would not hear a word of the fake tour they have sold us! I have emailed them before it to confirm itinerary multiple times and they never responded. They are a SCAM.
