El coliseo es caótico porque hay demasiados turistas pero la guía Katerina se encargó de hacer el recorrido entretenido. Muy preparada y conocedora de la historia. Las 3 horas pasaron rápido.

Andre was excellent. Had extensive knowledge of not only the Colosseum and surrounds but of Roman history so was able to provide lots of great insights. Definately worth it.

It is worth every penny being able to skip the line into the Colosseum arena and have such a great eloquent guide to provide a narrative to what you’re seeing.

We are so happy we chose to go on a tour! Maximo was our guide & did an amazing job condensing the information. There was so much to look at and it was helpful to have a guide explaining everything as we went. I recommend booking!

The tour in itself was good and reasonably priced. Communication with the organizers was great, everything was clear. Unfortunately, the guided tour was not as good as we had hoped. The info seemed a bit scattered, we had some trouble hearing in our receivers. I saw several people in the group take out their earpieces and just try to listen to the guide directly or read the informative panels. A little more information and context would have been appreciated.

We were able to seeeverything that was promised, however they changed our time from 8:30 am to 11:00 am. This made it inconvenient for our 2nd tour which I had scheduled at 3:00. It also was much more crowded, which was the reason I had scheduled this tour early. Our guide was knowledgeable.

para mejorar la guía, explico muy detalladamente historias del foro romano que no ameritaban tanto tiempo, por ejemplo al arco de tito como 20 minutos y cuando por fin fuimos al Coliseo lo acababan de cerrar. Sin embargo, continuo el recorrido por fuera del coliseo para justificar el tiempo. Solicitamos el reembolso de la entrada al Coliseo. Viajamos desde Colombia para ver el Coliseo y estaba cerrado. De acuerdo con las noticias, el Coliseo reintegra el dinero.

The tour itself was great, but the value of how much was spent to not be able to actually explore a huge part of the tour, which was the colosseum, definitely ruffled a few feathers within our group. We only got to see the Arena but that was pretty much it, so a few of us had felt a little cheated with this being a popular tourist attraction. This caused a few people from our group to then leave the group before the tour was over in fear that they would not be able to see everything as the tour was only 2.5 hours and we understood that the guides could not go over that time, but for future, it would be nice if the company could extend the time a bit so that people get their money’s worth and not feel scammed.

We did not enjoy this tour. It was too hard to understand our guide through the headset and the guide went into to entirely too much detail outside of the attractions making it less than interesting. We ended up giving our headsets back to guide and finishing tour on our own. In addition the group size felt too large and not personalized.

Nous avions payé pour aller sur l’arène du Colisée, mais nous n’y sommes pas allés. Le lieu de rdv est un peu difficile à trouver compte tenu des travaux et la personne responsable n’est pas arrivée très à l’avance.
