Exceptional Tour for family - Massimo was an extraordinary guide. We learned so much and gain appreciation for the Coliseum and Roman Forum. The time flies and the pace is great. Highly recommended for anyone with 3 hours available.

Reduction of Programme without notice - The Palatinum Hill was skipped, however guide Marco told us, that it is ok, we missed it, because we are lack of time. When I refered, that it was advertised, that it is part of programme; he said it is impossible to reach the Palatinum Hill. We lost time but continual repeating of similar general information. Continual references to Mussolini era in Colloseum was disturbing. Guide was acting as in one man show; can not be compared by similar tour, I experienced a year ago.

Disappointing - We booked an English tour of the Colosseum, eagerly anticipating a detailed and insightful experience, but unfortunately, it was far from what we expected. While the guide was knowledgeable, his English was very broken, and he spoke incredibly fast, making it difficult to understand. His speech was also quite muffled, and the further you were from him, the worse it became. This made following the tour a real challenge, especially in the busy areas of the Colosseum. The guide seemed more focused on quickly ticking off the points of the tour rather than allowing any time for photos or giving us the opportunity to really absorb the awe-inspiring history and beauty of the Colosseum. It felt like he was rushing us from one spot to the next with little regard for letting us enjoy the experience. Considering the high cost of the tour, I really regretted not opting for a ticket with an audio guide. If you’re promoting an English-speaking tour, the guide should be proficient in the language to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience. Overall, it was a disappointing experience, and I would not recommend this tour if you’re looking for a rich, engaging experience.

Do not book. - Booked tour for a particular day. Later found out you are advised of a specific time slot after the booking. Told the operator within 2mins the afternoon time slot would not suit as we need to leave the city. Operator cannot provide a refund. Viator will not provide a refund as tickets are already bought. Though will not provide tickets.

She SUCKED - The guide make little remarks and giggled about it. On several occasions she ushered us into secluded areas with nothing to see and proceeded to make a 5-10 lecture The worst guide I've ever experienced.

Packaged excursion - I wanted to make this comment I had booked 15 days before my excursion to be sure that I do not have access. I receive 3 days before the excursion that the 2pm schedule is not possible and that it offers me for 11:45. I explain to him that my plane landed at 10am and that it is complicated and he replies that it is possible. Arrive the day I was a little late I send him a message no return and the more time pass I called him at least 10 times no answer and arrives at the assembly point 12h and I have the person on the spot who tells me that it is too late I explain to him that I called you several times and he replies that it does not have the same company and that he can do nothing. So I can't go on my excursion and ask for repay. I ask that this benefit be reimbursed because at the beginning my schedule was at 2pm. I'm waiting for you to come back from my situation to solve this problem.
