Best way to see the Colosseum! - We booked our private tour through Viator and operated by Love Holidays. You'll definitely need your walking shoes for this one! While it's a pretty lengthy tour with lots of walking, it was totally worth it! Our guide coordinated picking us up in a private car and getting us to the Colosseum as well as getting us through the LONG line and security extremely quickly to avoid the Easter weekend crowds. She was well versed in the overall Roman history of these sites and provided us with some great photo stops along the walking tour, taking excellent pictures of us for special memories. She was full of very interesting historical knowledge and background information without being overwhelming or boring. We visited the main two floors of the Colosseum, then we ventured out to the Arch of Constantine, climbed the Palatine and ambled through the Ancient Roman and Imperial Forums filled with temples, monuments, the burial site of Cesar, etc. It was a tour PACKED with sites and facts that we would definitely recommend to anyone looking to explore that area and history of Rome.

Informative and fun experience at the Roman Forum and Colosseum with Pasqualino from Divine Horizon Tours. - We really enjoyed the informative tour of the Colosseum and Roman Forum. It was a fun experience as we learned a lot about Ancient Rome. Our guide, Pasqualino, was an amazing person and he taught us a lot of the history behind the Forum and Colosseum. 3 hours was the perfect amount of time as we got to see everything that there was to offer. Overall, the 5 of us (3 kids) (2 Adults) really enjoyed this experience and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good tour.

Great tour! - Our guide Lisa was amazing and so informed. So happy we had her to show us the beautiful coliseum and forum. She was so kind to our kids and really enjoyed ourselves. It was beyond hot on the day we toured and Lisa made sure to get us in the shade as much as possible. Highly recommend this tour.

Great Guide to a Great City - This was day 1 for us in Rome and we learnt so much in a relaxed way from a great guide. It seemed that every time we turned a corner there was a new delight and rarely were we near more than half a dozen other tourists despite the throngs ! Very clever. So good we booked another tour for the next day. Great value for money

Rome Top Tours is an excellent company. We had the best experience with them. - We were picked up at our hotel by the driver and tour guide who were very knowledgeable and gave us the best experience at each sight we saw. They handled getting tickets, and the logistics of getting us to our destinations that we wanted to see. We were safely dropped off at the hotel totally satisfied with the amazing places we viewed. Make sure you see Rome with them!

Don’t use Viator. They overbook and leave you stranded. - Booked this tour over 3 months ago. Viator sent me the voucher 2 day before the tour . The tour operator NEVER showed up. When I called the tour operator they said that they never got the confirmation from Viator even though they had my payment for 3 months. The concierge at my hotel said that this happens a lot.
