Fun and informative! - Our guide Joy really knew her stuff. We moved quickly and covered a lot of ground on this amazing tour through time. This tour skips lines, is small and informative. I highly recommend it.

Amazing - Our guide was very knowledgeable and super helpful with our one year old offering to take breaks and assist with stairs. The entire tour was worth it

Great views of the coliseum - We had some issues finding the guide but the tour company was great and called and texted pictures to help us find the her. The guide (sorry I don’t remember her name!) was very knowledgeable about the history of the Coliseum. She was able to give us some options for the tour since it was raining hard, it was an awesome sight to see the Coliseum from the vantage point of the gladiators and the emperors since we saw the floor of the coliseum as well as the spectators views.

Make sure you get what you paid for - We were supposed to be able to go into the arena and we didn’t get to. The guide seemed rushed even though we started earlier than booked. We didn’t have time to look at the museum exhibits. But mostly, I am disappointed that the advertised ability to walk where the gladiators walked didn’t happen. I complained and asked for a refund, I was ignored and dismissed without explanation. I expected better.

They cancelled on us! - They cancelled on us the morning of with no notice. Said the tour guide was unavailable but there was a large group of us and they selected some people to start the tour while they told the rest of us there was no guide. Extremely unprofessional.
