We took the self-guided... - We took the self-guided tour.The Colosseum is huge and what a remarkable architectural Accomplishment. I had no idea the size until I arrived. Many things I had imagined were proving to me to be different. The Romans were remarkable.The doer was awesome , but quite a bit tiring

Self-guided tour of the Colosseum - It was not worth the money. More difficult to navigate than other tours I've booked with Viator. Would not recommend the self-guided tour.

CIAO ROMA 🇨🇮 - We have taken magnificent pictures in front of impressive architecture such as the Colosseum and the Vatican. Thanks to our Guide “Pointours Rome” met in front of the Colosseum, we have enhanced our program of visits with many places to visit. Rome I love ♥️

i love rome - My wife and I had an incredible trip to Rome, and the whole experience was made even better by the fantastic team behind the tour. Everything was so well-organized and seamless, which allowed us to fully enjoy the city's beauty and history together. If you're looking for a stress-free, comprehensive way to explore Rome, I can't recommend this tour enough.

I love it 🥰 - The visit in Rome with Pointours, without a guide, was truly special. The freedom to explore at our own pace was incredible. We immersed ourselves in the history, taking time to appreciate every detail. It was a rewarding and personal experience. The service provided by Pointours was outstanding. And, of course, my husband was with me on this memorable trip.

Good tickets - This tour is worthwhile to get Admissions tickets, especially last minute. The audio piece of the self guided tour is pretty much useless.

No value - All this booking procured us was tickets. No guidance, printed or electronic, nor materials. A person walked us to the entrance line and had us pull up the electronic tickets they texted us. That was it. Electronic directions and texted directions were to two different places and neither were the entrance. I would suggest a self guide that provides audio for a self guided tour. I saw many people with that and it would have been great!
