Enlightening, precise, on time - Most knowledgeable tour guide. I learned a lot!!!! The tour guide was awesome, I can’t remember her name because I am reviewing late but she’s a California native! She interacted with my kids and took breaks if needed. She was on time and gave additional recommendations for after the tours end. Very nice!

The Manchesters in Rome - Sarah was an excellent guide. Even the short walk to start contained great local knowledge. All aspects and areas of the tour had us gripped. Sarah was friendly and funny, she looked after all members of the tour with their different needs and took and excellent picture for us. Everything was well spaced out so we Could really take in what we were experiencing. We would definitely recommend this tour

fascinating, dramatic and very educational - An excellent tour, guide was engaging, knowledgeable and amusing clearly having put a lot of effort into the content. Lots of walking so sensible shoes recommended and all outside so water bottles and hats if in the summer. Looking at the queue just to get tickets the skip the line aspect is clearly very worthwhile

Decent tour but really depends on the guide… - I booked an 11am tour as we had only one day in Rome, but the tour was rescheduled to 3:30pm a few days before, and this already was a bad start. By 3:30pm we had been walking all over Rome at 35 degrees, and we were so done! However, the Colosseum was the one thing my kids wanted to see in Rome, so we stayed the course. Also, the tour was non refundable and there is disclaimer for that reason, should the tour time be rescheduled, there is nothing that can be done. The meeting point is a 10 minute walk from the site. The Colosseum was and is spectacular. But so much was lost using the radio headphones. I only caught half of what our guide was saying because of technical difficulties and background noise. Our group was only 10, which was good because any bigger would have been a gong show. Our guide walked really fast, and we were constantly lagging behind, loosing her voice in the process and therefore only catching half of what she said. Overall, the price of this tour was worth the line skipping and human guide you could ask questions to. Everything in between was meh. My husband and teen enjoyed the tour much more than my 9 year old and I. The arena floor was the highlight, and this tour is the cheapest I could find that included it. The quality of the tour was ok. The guide left much to be desired.

Great tour guide but a couple of negatives - Great tour guide. Part of the tour was cancelled and we are to be part refunded. Advertised as skip the line but had to join a long queue to get in.

Wonderful - Our guide was wonderful! She was knowledgeable and friendly. We had to leave a little early to get to another tour and she was very accommodating and helpful about telling us how to get to our next spot quickly and easily,

Downgraded our tour and changed the time without notifying us. - Our tour was downgraded so that we did not get to see the arena floor. Also, they changed the meeting time from 11 to 10:30 without updating the time on our ticket or even notifying us at all, so we almost missed the tour completely! The colosseum itself was amazing to see, but the stress of almost missing the tour was frustrating.

Disorganized tour guide and bad jokes - The sites are absolutely amazing, you should certainly do a tour, just not this one. Guide was very disorganized, we had to double back multiple times. She screwed up our tickets, and so we did not get the floor tour, just second level of the Coliseum. She also made jokes i found borderline offensive, making unwarranted assumptions about peoples sexuality and religion. It was so bad some people left in the middle of the tour, i wish i left with them. She was very knowledgeable in history, but not a good presenter. Pick a different one.

Couldn’t go - They changed the time of our tour to a time we couldn’t make, I’ve been trying to reach them for 4 days and I get no response. If I have paid for a tour for a specific time, I would think that that is a guarantee of the time slot I need.
