Awesome - Wow, amazing! A must see. We had no idea there was more than just the Colosseum. The guide was very informative.

Amazing Colosseum tour - Going inside the colosseum and Forum with our guide, Barbara. She let us through and around the crowds to get to the sites, avoiding the massive lines waiting outside. We would never be able to do this on our own.

Incredible, fun and interesting - We had a wonderful time in our Group with our tour guide Paul/Paulo - this man is just wonderful. He was interesting, funny, knowledgeable and so passionate about history. There were some children in the group, including my teenager, and he involved them in re-enactments which kept them entertained and engaged. 100% recommend to anyone who wants to experience all that is so incredible about the Colloseum and Roman history.

Well worth it - If you are going to pick just one guided tour in Rome, this is it. I really don't think we would have got as much out of seeing the Colosseum, Forum and Pallatine Hill without our wonderful guide Mr. Massimo. He was engaging, knowledgeable and funny. We stopped at spots where if you were on your own you wouldn't think to stop and look at something significant. Also, pointed out water filling spots and toilets. It is really archeology and architecture overload in that there is so much to see that you don't know where to look at first. Massimo would point out something like the names on the columns and the history behind it. You are walking alot, but we found the pace totally doable. Take the time after the tour to just hang around and look at more. Well worth it.

Paulo was fantastic! - The best part of our tour was Paulo! He has a passion for Rome and the history of his city! He used people in the tour to re-enact the way Romans would have responded to the Emporor and helped us imagine what an event at the Colleseum would have been like. 5 Stars for Paulo! The colleseum was very crowded, but Paulo made sure we all stayed together. Was a little disappointed in the lack of access to underneath the stage. We only got to walk around level 1 & a bit of 2. Would have liked to see more.

Disappointed - Disappointed with this trip, we purchased these tickets so we wouldn't have to queue. Not only did we have to wait 15 minutes past the start time of 9.30 for a family to arrive, we then had to queue for 45 minutes to get in, so much for skip the queue! We then has issues at security as another family didn't have ID for their children which was required to provide they were under 18. (Not Vintours fault) We then had to queue again to get in to the Forum and didn't get in till 12, this tour was due to finish at 12.30 so didn't have long to hear about the history, even though the tour did run over a bit & we could stay in the forum afterwards, however after being on our feet for nearly 4 hours (as we were asked to arrive at 9.15) in the sun most people left to get food & drink & some shade. I don't feel it wasn't worth the money when you can get tickets yourself & join a smaller individual queue to get in at the Colosseum quicker.

Unprofessional, stay away! - This was truly a disappointing experience! The tour organizer was incredibly unprofessional and difficult to get hold of. And when we finally got hold of them, they came with outright lies and untruths. The meeting place was poorly marked, unclear and the agreed place was full of tourists. When we finally found the group, the guide was very nice and knowledgeable. But that was also the only positive. By all means steer clear of this tour operator as it is not worth the money.
