Wonderful experience - Booked this tour for my friends who were visiting Rome and joined them on the tour,the staff was friendly and the guide walked us through the crowds and shared lots of knowledge we wouldn't know otherwise and made it easy to navigate the area. Recommended!

Handlers were sketchy and disorganized, but actual guide was good - Very disorganized, seemed sketchy at first because people were not wearing uniforms and did not have identification. We signed up for a 2 pm tour, and they called us asking us to come 20 min early, but then the tour didn’t start until 2:40. The actual tour guide with badge that we met right at 2:40 was good, but she expressed being stressed out that the “handlers” who organized the participants wanted to make extra money so they sold 9 tickets when she was only allowed to take 7 people at a time, and she could be fined $1000 for taking 9. The man in charge was pushy with the tour guide, and how he treated her made us uncomfortable. The advertised 1.5 hour tour was only 40 min. The tour itself with the professional guide was good despite the sketchy people who organized it.

Abysmal experience. Avoid - Initially scheduled for 3pm. Was called and told to come at 1:30 so adjusted our itinerary for the day. Upon arrival was switched to a different tour company and then we waited for over an hour for another group to show for us be split into two groups. We were promised an hour in the colosseum and was rushed to 45 so they could show the entry to the Roman forum. The guide was decent but ultimately was rushed and stressed from being set up for failure by the company. Overall a pretty sketchy experience filled with excuses, long waits, and many others who were not able to experience what was promised. We were told we had 24 hour Roman forum and palatine hill access, but doesn’t really help when you have an early morning departure. Also make sure to get everything in writing on WhatsApp because they will call you with promises and expectations so they will not have it in writing. Avoid.

Switched Tour Company and Significant Delays - Booked with Viator who advised it was one tour group and to arrive by 11 am sharp.
Was there on time. Was switched to another tour group. That group did not
leave for the tour until noon. Tour was ok but this review is of Viator, which the
tour company said was completely separate. I tried to email Viator to complain, but
every email bounced back. Caused us delays in further events for the day.
