Colosseum winter tour - Brilliant tour guide (Gabe) who never stopped giving us information and hilarious jokes. Well organised tour with easy meet point, seamless entry and the information from the guide just enhanced the experience so much.

Amazing. - The sights are extraordinary and very impressive. Everything is very well preserved. With tickets purchased in advance, this avoids the wait to enter the sites

Tour to St. Peter's Basilica - We made the tour to St. Peter's Basilica with the company Touriks. We really liked the Guide Valentin, who proved to know a lot about the Basilica and explained everything to us in a fairly light and fun way. I recommend it to everyone.

Extraordinary! - Barbara is a passionate and exciting Guide! A truly incredible Guide for a timeless visit! On top!!!!!

Most memorable tour of our lives - We booked last minute for a Colisseum and forum tour. Wonderful experience. Gabriel was our guide and his knowledge interspersed with humour made history come to life. Our time was too short but we learned more than expected about Roman history (fact vs myth). Highly recommend taking a guided tour as you will never get the same experience just walking around. Ken and Alison, Ontario, Canada

Emotions and pleasure! - Very interesting explanations and details of our Guide Barbara. Full of details we see that she knows the place very well! Thank you.

Just a little long because of the world - Barbara Super Guide has detected us from her knowledge and skills and history su vatican as well as from Christianity

Great tour to see inside of the coliseum and very well organized - What an awesome tour with a very knowledgeable guide,Gabe our guide was very informative and passionate about the area and the history and was also a fun guide to deal with.We highly recommend this tour and if you get Gabe even better.

Excellent! - Gabe, our tour guide, was excellent! He was fun, educational and considerate. His “bad” jokes were funny too. He was a master of his subject. The checking in team were organized and on time. Bravo!

Buyer Beware, Changed Tour Details - We had used Viator for multiple tours during our trip to Italy. We booked a tour of the Colosseum for the specific added part of getting to visit the underground section of the Colosseum. There were many options for Colosseum tours, but this was the only one we found that offered the underground portion (now I know why, they eliminated all underground tours due to overcrowding, apparently all other tour companies had already stopped offering the underground option). The extra cost was considerable, we paid $227 per person, versus our friends who did a tour that same day w/o the underground for $73 per person (to be fair there's was a larger tour group of around 20). We showed up for our tour and didn't find out until the end of the normal Colosseum tour that the underground had been eliminated, the lone reason we had booked this tour. TOURIKS, the tour operator, will claim they tried to contact me, which is true, they did, but it's how they tried to contact me I have the issue with. I didn't know they had tried to contact me until after I tour and I wanted to ask about the removal of underground portion of the tour. There I found three messages starting 3 months ago. There had been no email (or if they did, it went to spam), just attempts to contact me through the Viator message app. I didn't have the Viator app, so I was completely unaware of their attempts to contact me. Had they texted me, as they did the day before the tour (see attached pic, shows they still had the "underground" portion of the tour still in the description, something they've since deleted), I would have canceled this tour and rebooked a tour without the underground portion. They offered a 15% credit for taking out the underground portion. That's a $34 credit on a $227 per person tour. I requested 50%, given the underground was the sole reason we chose this particular tour. They point to the 15% refund and said that's what they value the underground portion to be worth. Viator backs the tour operator, so buyer beware. Btw, I have seen others mention this, but if you book the later tour, i.e. 4:30 pm, you won't have time to go into the Forum by the time your Colosseum tour is finished (admission stops at 5:30 pm, at least when we went). They shouldn't be offering that late of Colosseum tour start time and promise the admission into the Forum and Palatine Hill. You'll get a voucher that you can use the next day, but if your trip is like ours, you'll already have plans and the voucher will go to waste.
