Deep level of knowledge about historical features - Roman forum was interesting and guide unlocked many features that otherwise would have been missed. Pity areana was not available on this day.

Express Colosseum tour - Colosseum is spectacular, being part of a small group was really helpful. Ive attended a guided tour before and felt like this particular one did not provide as much detail or information. It was a bit disappointing considering the price point.

Tour, yes! But maybe we chose a bad day… - The VIP only Colosseum with Gladiator Arena Tour is highly recommended, but with another Tour company. Too many issues to describe. My tip for Hadile and the Team, just apologize for your mixup and make it right, if possible. It goes farther than excuses and contempt. Or maybe this was just a bad day for you and your Team. It happens.

Not worth the money - Guide was fine. Tour was too short for what we paid. We did this tour a few years ago and it was much better.

Awful experience - would not attend this tour! - We were in Rome for only 2 days prior to a cruise. We were leaving for the port on a Monday early afternoon so booked an 11:30 am VIP tour that morning so we could see the Colosseum before we left. At 9:30 pm the night before we received a WhatsApp message from Adriano stating that our tour was moved to 12:45 pm. Since we needed to leave for the port around 1:15 pm we said we couldn’t make that work. Adriano said he would put us in a full arena tour starting at 11:45 am knowing that we needed to leave by 1:00 pm. We showed up at 11:30 am and the tour didn’t get started until 12 pm. We quickly asked the guide if we were heading directly to the Colosseum - he told us our entry tickets weren’t until 1:15 pm! So there was no way we were getting to see the Colosseum. We had to leave the tour almost immediately. I tried contacting Adriano twice - no response. I then requested a refund via Viator - they said no. I pleaded my case - they still said no. I am now going through my credit card company to challenge the charge. I thought we would be treated better with Viator - I guess I was wrong. Would be wary of taking this tour as your time could change and the tour operator may not be truthful with you. Very disappointed.

SCAM! AVOID THIS COMPANY! - SCAM! This company did not show up at the meeting place. I booked a 3 pm tour, they asked if I would do 5 pm and I agreed. I showed up at the location on the google map link they sent and nobody was there. I tried calling every few minutes on their What'sApp that they texted me from every few minutes, no answer. They answered texts sporadically to "look for the white flags and people wearing blue or white". Nobody was there. I sent pictures of the location point that they sent and they told me, with 10 minutes in between texts, to walk 2 or three minutes away. 40 minutes later, they finally gave me another number to call, and they told me I missed the tour and that if I wanted to go in alone, I had to walk to their office, which was a 15 minute walk. COINCIDENTALLY, the Coliseum closes at 6 pm and it was 5:45 pm when they told me this. I missed seeing the Coliseum because of this company and they refused a refund.
