Good guide and a memorable trip - Patrick (Patricio) gave us a good tour of the Colosseum and managed to sprinkle his stories with some humor. Recommended!

Great tour guide. Organization by tour company so so - Marcus was a great guide and very knowledgeable about all things colosseum and Roman forum. However, the tour company didn’t have the correct names printed on some tickets so our group had to wait 45 mins while they figured the issue out and so our tour was cut short and we had to run through the Roman forum to get to our time tickets of the colosseum. Also you only get 20 mins inside the colosseum on the floor so be ware if you want to see more of the colosseum. Choose a different tour

Coliseum - The tour was very well planned and the tour guide was friendly and informed but hard to. Understand. She should not be conducting tours in English.

The sites were incredible... - The sites were incredible to experience, but the guide was a bit boring and rambled into odd topics. Several other people noticed this, and by the end of the tour, half the group had left to walk the area on their own.

Wouldn’t recommend. - We heard other guides with more information and experience. We learned more on our nocturnal tour of the city about the colosseum than this 3 hour tour. Save your money and pick a different group to go with.

Disappointed with tour guide and her tour - I have done quite a few tours with Viator, all have been great but I hated this one. Actually upset I paid for it. I understand I am in Italy but asked for English and our tour guide had such a thick Italian accent I had an extremely hard time understanding her. Her explanations were scattered, and what I could hear wasn’t very interesting. I have friends who did the same tour with other guides and thought it was excellent. Mine was terrible.
