Fulvia the tour guide was great. This is a 3-hr tour, 2-1/2 before you get to the Coloseum. Expect to walk, climb steps, and learn about the Roman ruins. This was a fun experience with a fantastic tour guide.
We book through Viator (Booking reference #1409058865). After we arrived in Rome our tour was cancelled. During this high travel time, Viator was not able to get us booked on another tour. Beware when booking with this company.
Despite the extreme heat, we thoroughly enjoyed our tour. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and passionate and took us through the forum, palatine hill and colosseum. Highly recommend getting a tour guide.
Very bad instructions with two meeting places one to meet second for tickets Made absolutely non sense Then no tour guide getting us in we had to wait in long lines! Basic ticket no getting to higher or lower floors
Cancelled and refunded on us 2 days prior to the tour, leaving us scrambling for tickets that were sold out.
The tour was booked for 830, but the guide firm had it booked for 130, so they day was wasted. Poor coordination between the platform users
Absolutely apalling. Never been treated so badly in all my travels. Stay well clear of these crooks.
We booked the tour through GetYourGuide. Two days before the tour I got a email telling me they had changed me from 9.45am on tuesday to 13.45 on tuesday. Except my booking was for monday, not tuesday. A message telling me they weren't running the tour on the monday but they could offer the tuesday instead. Not much good as we were going home on the tuesday. Then another email arrived saying the same thing except it was written in white text on pale grey so was illegible. They also sent a WhatsApp message which I responded to asking for a refund. I also responded to the email asking for a refund. They sent me a message but deleted it before I saw it. Two hours later I messaged them again asking them for a refund. No reply for another 4 hours when they said I would be refunded in 3 days time. This was two days before the tour date and of course it was impossible to get an alternative tour at that stage. We eventually managed to get tickets ourselves on the official colosseum website at 5.30am on the monday. Overall, very poorly handled and very disappointing. I would not book with them again.
The guide was great and very knowledge. Had a great time , it was very convenient that we were a small group
Very informative, great guide (Fulvia) but lots of walking. A good day out. The stairs in the colosseum are very steep but there is a lift available.
