Could be better - Very long, we had to leave because it was just way too long. Meeting instructions were unclear, I was just given a location to meet at. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and sweet, just be cautious in regards to the length of the tour. Also, was kind of hard to understand her English.

Great informative guide but a little long. - Our guide was very good... extremely informative and pleasant. Although the tour lasted as described in the itinerary, the schedule was flipped with the Colosseum as the last stop. I felt the length of 3 hours was a bit long for our family. We would have done better with 2.25 - 2.5 hours.

Not clear on language. - Boy, where to begin. I selected the tour and in the description it said English was available. I am not sure if I missed where it said it was an Italian speaking tour guide but it was and lady was lovely and gracious. But we had no option on changing it and proceeded with the tour. Very disappointed in the whole thing and wished it were different. I do not hold fault with the tour guide or the tour company.

Poor tour guide in stunning places, should partially get our money back - The guide was half an hour late and could hardly walk. He was for sure not the youngest but he was so slow and out of breath we had to skip the Palantine (so no view from the hill) and did only the Forum and the Colosseum. Also we had to wait some 20 minutes to get entry to the Forum, so no skip the line, no fast track. At times our guide was hardly understandable. At the Colosseum the guide was ok in his explanations although he did leave us before we went to the gallery.

The worst guide ever - Absolutely awful guide. Her name was Olga. Primitive language, rambled on without any purpose, talked in circles repeating the same pointless information 3 different ways. 3 hours and zero information. This was over $200 thrown in the garbage. This was one of the most exciting places in the world and we got nothing out of this tour. We took out the headset half the time because it was impossible to take.

Can’t recommend - We tried getting there but the address in Viator sent us to another place, we tried contacting the operator 20 minutes before without response, when we got there (about 6 min late) we didn’t see anyone. Asked for a refund as they did not answer our calls and the refund was denied. I think this would’ve been resolved had they answered when we were trying to get in touch. Viator isn’t doing anything about it so this review is also for the platform, very disappointed.

Careful When Booking - BE CAREFUL WHEN BOOKING!! Make sure and double check the language you are booking for. I accidentally booked not knowing the tour was in Italian. My fault totally but when I tried to switch it I did not get any help. The employees from Tours Tours were not helpful at all and pretty rude. I will never use this site again. The tour guide at the Colosseo was wonderful although I didn’t speak Italian.
