Colluseum tour - We had a great guide called Giovanna, she had so much knowledge, explained things really well and showed us points of interest. Make sure you take your passport or a form of I'd as the colluseum staff need to see this along with your ticket.

Coliseum - Our tour was scheduled for 9:30 . We arrived 15 plus minutes prior to tour start . Then I received a text that the tour had been changed to 10am .. the tour guide was late on top of that . Sound system was poor. Difficult to decipher what he was saying unless you faced him . Your time was less than time indicated .

Would not use this tour provider again - Very disorganised guide was late. Tour was supposed to be 90 minutes only lasted 45 and was very rushed. Guide was knowledgeable but gave the impression he didn't want to be there.

Very disappointed! - Would NOT recommend. The tour was supposed to be 90 minutes but more like 45. We waited at the published meeting place but it had been changed and we didn’t know as messages and your tickets are sent on Whattapp and I didn’t have connection so didn’t get them. Luckily another helpful guide helped. The guide rushed, was not helpful and did not ask for questions. I needed to be in a small group as I lip read and thought this would be ideal. There were only 6 adults and 2 children in the group so was optimistic. I explained to the guide at the start and he made fun of me in front of the others saying “ I will have to talk like a fish like this” whilst opening and closing his mouth like a fish! He said he would be walking and talking and it would be up to me to position myself to see his lips. I asked him 2 questions about the colosseum- one answer was - “I already said about that” and the other answer was - “I don’t know”. We are all wiser in hindsight …. But buy your own ticket!!!
