Great tour but not including higher or lower levels - We went to see the gardens first, and then the best for last, which I liked, you go to the arena floor where the gladiator where.
You don't go to the higher levels or the lower levels which is not included.
So much knowledge, which really gives a greater understanding of the history. It's very busy which makes some areas very hot, so bring lots of water.

Entertaining wander through the past - Once we found our guide in the throng of people at the meeting place all ran smoothly. We were taken quickly through security and given an informative and entertaining tour of the Colosseum, Forum and Platine Hill. It was a hot day and our guide was very mindful of the need for breaks and water refills. The whole experience lasted about three hours and was well worth the money. After the tour was over we were free to wander round the Forum at our leisure. There are plenty of restaurants and cafes in the streets outside the exit by Trajan's Markets for those in need of refuelling. Very enjoyable!

An enriching experience - This was our third visit to the Colosseum but the most rewarding as the earlier visits were self-guided. Our guide had a detailed knowledge of history and knew the best photo spots. Highly recommended.

Perfect tour to hear and see the complete history of the Colosseum - Wow what a nice experience we had seeing that majestic building ! WE got the perfect tour and the perfect guide to know and see everything about the Colosseum and all the surrounding at that period in history ! You need to be attentive as you will get a lot and by a lot I mean a ton of information about the history of the place ! Touring the place inside out and seeing were the galdiators were fighting and also be able to see from quite close the underground structure of were they were holding the animals was a nice addition to make that tour even better ! Our guide has been doing that for more than 20 years it was almost as if I lived there in the past. Good job !

So knowledgeable - It was hot it was busy but our guide kept us together and was a book of knowledge and her approach was to trace the story from Colosseum(incld Gladiator Floor) to Romes beginning...well done

Would have wished to see more of the inside - Although the tour was very nice we had a lot of trouble understanding our tour guide. She was very knowledgeable but her strong Italian accent made it extremely hard to understand what she was saying. The tour itself wasn’t quite what we expected as we would have wished to see more things

Do not book - Not an accurate description. 45 min of wasted time - Not an accurate description of this tour at all. It clearly states that this excursion is supposed to last 1 1/2-2 hours. Upon arrival, she tells us it’s going to be 3 hours. we were immediately disappointed because we had another excursion planned for after this and we knew we were going to miss an hour of this experience now.
We did not even actually start the tour of the Colosseum until 45 minutes into our time block and then had to leave early because we had another booking afterwards, which we should’ve had enough time for according to the description of this. So basically, we paid for a full tour and instead got maybe 45 minutes to an hour inside the Colosseum and then had to leave.
Our guide was very informative and we liked her, but were super disappointed that we completely missed the Roman forum and had to leave the Colosseum early in order to make our next booking. You need to update the description accurately of what people can expect and there should be no reason at all that we had to spend 45 minutes standing in line, doing nothing for the first part of our tour including waiting for a bathroom break at the beginning. If someone has to go as part of the group, they should have to do that on their own and not cause the entire group to have to wait for two people.
I would not recommend this tour or company to anyone for the way things were handled and communicated.
