Awesome guide and tour! - Our guide, Lupe was awesome! She was entertaining, knowledgeable and got us through the crowds. The tour was great we were able to explore everything. I especially loved the arena where the gladiators came out to fight. I would recommend this tour for families.

A must do in Rome - Magda was amazing ! It wss so crowded but she made it so it didn’t seem so . She kept track of everyone in the group like a pro because with the crowd it would be easy to lose her . We learned so much it was more than we could imagine - beckoning us to use our imagination to picture ancient times . The meet up was confusing because of so many groups but that was my fault not Magda’s and seamless once we found where we needed to go . Highly recommend!

Very informational and... - Very informational and detailed tour! Group was small enough to hear all the information despite the business of the Colosseum. Shade is super limited in the hot summer days in the Colosseum, but our guide did their best to find spots to stop in the shade. Overall great experience!

Recommended - Amazing tour. The gentleman guiding us well prepared and was very knowledgeable about all the sites and archeological locations. He was extremely experienced and showed us where the best spots were to take pictures. This is a tour I will always remember, I’m glad this was the one I picked.

Don’t use this company so many others out there - The tour guide lacked energy and an ability to speak English coherently, due to a very thick Italian accent, rendering the sound quality on the provided headsets useless, and given her disassociation from the group in the way she walked ahead whilst talking we might as well walked round on our own, in fact it would have been better given the information points provided on route at the sites. note we are English, there was no translation issues on our part, the rest of the group had similar issues especially the non English contingent. I have never seen a tour guide receive almost zero tips from around 18 people in the group. Also the check in guy was rude to us, other customers and the tour guides.

Too long - Tour guide rambled and spoke too fast and quiet . Went over his time . We didn't learn much because there wasn't a lot of relevant info

Not worth it - Tour admitted people 10min late, then proceeded to sort out their tickets and head sets another 10min. So first 20min, no info. We stood in line and showed our tickets three times, while people in our group kept loosing their tickets. Actual tour did not start a good 30min. Guide was flustered and actual information was sparse. Ask aviator for refund but was declined. Save your money.
