Easy self paced experience - Made it very easy to just get your tickets and go at your own pace. App was easy to use and being able to go from the coliseum directly to the Roman forum was quick and easy. A small premium to not have to worry about going through the official collegium site a month before.

A momento in time. - The self guided tour with access to the historical information through the audio was the perfect way for us to enjoy the experience at our own pace. I would recommend this approach to anyone who wants to take their time and not feel compelled to keep up with a tour guide.

Ok, but app could do with tweaks - The Monuments themselves were spectacular, but the audio guide was a little disappointing. It relied on phone signal which disappeared in the Coloseum so I had nothing to tell me about what I was seeing. It was better at the Palatine and Forum, but it’s such an enormous site and felt like it was just fact-fact-fact rather than firing my imagination

Just get ticket directly from Colosseum - They had me download app to do audiotour. The app did not work so I got no tour. Nowhere did the ticket imply I needed my own headset/device or to download an app. Other tours they provide headset, seemed logical they would do that here, otherwise, I have no need for them whatsoever and could download my own app and buy ticket to Colosseum and save money. Even more annoying is even with the app not working it excessively drained my phone and I know I got charged a good deal for roaming to boot. Then when I reached out I got attitude from the office. Very disappointed, this was the tour I was most excited about and wasted more than half a day dealing with trying to resolve. Absolutely do not get this tour. Skip the line is a scam and you can do better just buying ticket directly and doing your own tour. Their other tours were ok, but this was terrible.

MESSED UP HOLIDAY EXPERIENCE - THIS WAS THE MOST EXPERIENCE EVER. IT WAS VERY HARD TO FIND THE PEOPLE DOING THE TOUR, SO I WAS LATE. MISSED MY PERSON BUT THEY SAID i COULD GO ON MY OWN. GET TO THE GATE AND TURNED AWAY BECAUSE I NEEDED IDENTIFICATION. THE GIRL WHO GAVE ME MY TICKET SAID IT WAS GOOD FOR 24 HOURS. I DECIDED TO GO BACK LATER IN THE DAY ONLY TO FIND THEY CLOSED EARLIER AND NOT AT SIX OCLOCK AS STATED ON LINE. SO I WENT DOWN AGAIN IN THE MORNIG AT 9 0CLOCK TO GAIN ENTRANCE AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT GOOD FOR 24 HOURS EVEN THOUGH IT SAID SO ON THE TICKET. SO I NEVER GOT IN AFTER 3 TIMES TRYING TO GET ENTRY. SO I FINALLY GOT ENRTY ON SUNDAY FOR FREE WITHOUT IDENTIFICATION SO DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE WAS TO BEGIN WITH. I ACTUALLY WANT MY MONEY RETURNED FOR ALL THE HASSEL I WENT THROUGH. I MISSED MY WALKING TOUR WHICK I ALSO PAID FOR SO I COULD GET INTO THE COLOSSEUM. I NEVER GOT TO SEE ANY OF THE OTHER THNGS I PAID FOR. I WOULD NOT RECCOMEND VIOTOR TO ANYONE. VERY DISSATISFIED. G.M.

City Wonders Ltd_Really poor experience - A poor experience from the time we arrived at the Colosseum. We couldn't find the redemption point, asked probably more than 50 people about City Wonders Ltd. Nobody knew which company that was, nor where the guide was standing. We stood at Largo Gaetana Agnesi for ages, then ended up walking in circles trying to find the guide. Our voucher stated the guide will be wearing a blue City Wonders polo shirt however 2 hours later, we found the guide and he was wearing an orange City Wonders polo shirt. We didn't bother to ask him anything as the operator told us we were at fault hence couldn't redeem the tickets for a later time. We were totally confused because the voucher stated blue, not orange. We came all the way to Rome and couldn't experience the Colosseum, Roman Forum & Palatine Hill. It's such a shame, I lost my $ and didn't get to see what I had wanted too.

Insufficient service - Despite cards(!) Long waiting time at the entrance !!! For the meeting outside the entrance, a way time must be taken into account (here at least 15 - 20 min.) If the entrance is 13.15, with way time about 13.40 and waiting time of 40 minutes you have lost valuable viewing time (total 1 hour!!!!!!) On top of that, the app didn't work for ANYONE (4 people) until leaving the Coloseum, 2 out of 4 had access. Very poor service!!!!

Do Not Book with City Wonders - Our tour operator did not show up and did not contact us by calling or emailing. We did not get the refund from the local tour, neither from Viator. We have wasted our money without even able to get the service. VERY DISAPPOINTED
