Cristian the amazing tour guide - Cristian was an EXCELLENT tour guide for our coliseum and Roman forum tour for our family. He was incredibly knowledgeable, sweet and went above and beyond in every way to make our tour special. I strongly recommend you book a guided tour with Cristian when you visit Rome.

Tour was great!!! - We did the Colosseum Underground/Arena and Roman Forum guided tour (in English). Our guide Barbara was very knowledgeable and passionate about Roman history. She was very articulate and easy to understand, and everything she explained was very interesting. We enjoyed the tour, and we highly recommend it.

Comprehensive - Got tickets for this tour at the last minute after hearing the tour we were on didn't provide them. As others have said, make sure you get there early to find the guide and get your tickets. Our tour guide provided an exceptional experience with what he had to work with. Was able to impart lots of history and answer every question. It would have been nice to get the underground and main level in the same tour, but not the tour groups fault. The forum was very cool to see and hear about as well, so much history in one place! The only thing I would improve is the earpieces were not the greatest quality.

Nice tour - We had a great guide who explained all the highlights and answered questions. I know some people in previous comments complained that the tour doesn't include guiding at the Roman forum, but I didn't mind. It meant we had time to wander around the coliseum. And the souvenir shop and see tue forum at our leisure...it can even be seen within the next 24 hours if you are tired after the coliseum tour. I'm giving 4 stars because the wording of the tour title gives the impression of a guided forum tour as well. They should change that title to Forum access.

Give me my REFUND! - My tour was at 3pm. My ticket verified this information. I show up and no one ever shows up. I requested a refund and was denied. The tour company decided to change the time of this tour and I was unaware. Viator refuses to refund my money because the tour company decided to change the time. This was not my mistake nor should I be penalized for it. Very disappointed as I booked this about a month in advance for the only day I would be able to visit the Colosseum. Who knows when I’d be able to go back to Rome. A text with the time change would have gone a long way. DO NOT BOOK!!!
