Good tour, Nataline was a great guide.
Natalina was a great tour guide when we did the Colosseum and Forum. It does take a full 3 to 4 hours so be prepared for that. The area is much larger than we realized so it is a lot of walking which was fine for us - but be prepared if you are not. The history is quite impressive.

Thank you for your review! We're so glad you enjoyed the tour and had a great experience with Natalina. You're absolutely right — it's a lot of walking, but so worth it with all the incredible history. We hope to welcome you again soon!
Eduardo was an incredible captain
Eduardo was an incredible captain, the history he told us about the area was so interesting and beautiful. He was very kind, fun and knowledgeable. He took us swimming in a great area with caves, and we were able to swim through the tunnel system in them, which was amazing.

Exceptional tour!
Tiberious was an excellent guide. Brilliant. Articulate. Funny. A true scholar of the area on every level from ancient Roman history to contemporary pop culture.

Our Vatican tour was good
Our Vatican tour was good! Surprised he had to quit the tour before entering the Sistine Chapel, although he provided very good details about the Chapel beforehand.

Dear Bill,
Thank you for your kind words. We're glad to hear you enjoyed your Vatican tour!
Regarding your note about the guide concluding the tour before entering the Sistine Chapel: this is indeed standard practice. The Sistine Chapel is a sacred space where silence is strictly required, and all guides are instructed by the Vatican authorities to end their commentary beforehand.
To ensure visitors still receive a full understanding of what they will see, our guides always provide a detailed explanation using the visual boards located along the museum route before entering the Chapel. This way, visitors can fully appreciate the significance of the artworks in silence, as intended.
We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again on another tour in the future!
Warm regards,
Valeria
The guide was difficult to understand
The guide was difficult to understand. Granted, her English was much better than my Italian, but for the amount we paid and the size of the group, it should have been better. Also, Do Not have another tour booked for after this tour. Our tour started at 10:30, we did not get into the colosseum until 12:45. We had another tour booked at 2:00 so really only got to spend about 10 minutes in the arena part of the colosseum before we had to leave. Spent 20 minutes milling about on top of Palestine hill prior to going over toward the colosseum. We had asked if there was going to be enough time, and were told it should be okay....it wasn't.

Dear Philip,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the experience did not fully meet your expectations, and we’d like to take a moment to clarify a few important points.
We’re sorry if the guide was difficult to understand at times. While accents and language proficiency can naturally vary, please rest assured that she is a licensed professional with strong experience guiding international groups.
Regarding the structure and timing of the tour, it was booked as a 3-hour experience and was carefully planned to include all the main highlights of the Colosseum Archaeological Park, including the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill. The itinerary was designed to ensure that guests could enjoy a complete and enriching visit.
As for the time spent in the arena of the Colosseum, we understand the frustration, but this is not something under our control. The Archaeological Park’s management strictly regulates access to the arena floor and imposes a limited time of 15 minutes per group in order to manage the high volume of daily visitors and ensure smooth entry and exit flows. This rule applies to all tour operators and visitors without exception.
We always strive to provide accurate timing advice based on standard conditions, but unforeseen delays, especially at major landmarks, can occasionally occur. We recommend allowing extra flexibility in your schedule whenever possible to fully enjoy each site.
Thank you again for your comments! They help us continue to improve our service and provide a clear understanding of what to expect during this popular tour.
Warm regards,
Valeria

Expensive and very rushed
We had issues with our guide turning up late! The headsets were not very functional, they got replaced at the colosseum, but it didn’t rectify the issue. If you were more than 6 feet away from the tour guide you couldn’t hear her. The tour also felt very rushed. We walked past so much that wasn’t even discussed and it felt like we would have learnt more on our own! The tour of the forum was good, but again rushed. For the money, I’m not sure I’d book something like this again!

Dear Gillian,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations. Punctuality and clear communication are very important to us, and we regret that the delayed start and headset issues affected your enjoyment of the tour. We will be reviewing this with our team to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
We’d also like to emphasize that in large and historically rich sites like the Colosseum and Roman Forum, the role of a licensed guide is crucial. A knowledgeable guide helps provide historical context and insights that would otherwise be difficult to grasp fully, turning what could be a simple walk through ruins into a meaningful journey through time.
We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the Forum portion, despite it feeling a bit rushed. Your comments are invaluable in helping us enhance the overall quality of our service.
Thank you again for your honesty, and we hope you’ll consider giving us another opportunity to provide a better experience in the future.
Best regards,
Valeria

Very unorganized
Very unorganized. Meeting place was difficult to find. No other guide we asked had ever heard of the restaurant we were supposed to meet at. When we got there was no flag or sign identifying the tour. The guide was seemed very knowledgeable and was friendly, but her accent was so heavy it was difficult to understand her. Would look elsewhere. These tours are too expensive to not get what you paid for.

Really boring tour guide for the colosseum tour that sucked the life out of the experience, even for my husband who is a complete history buff. I'm sure these tours can be great if you get a good guide but we were definitely unlucky on this occasion.
