More than a tour guide

Our guide, Claudia, was incredible! She was compassionate and attentive with one of our group members who was struggling with the extreme heat. She assisted us in getting a wheelchair and gave her umbrella to provide shade. Without her, my mom would not have been able to continue the tour. She made the tour engaging and fun for our children ages 11-15. The best! We are very thankful!

We’ll never book anything through Viator again

I booked this excursion for my family while we were in Rome. The tour guide never showed up. I was on the phone with Viator and they let me know that tickets were sold out. It clearly states this includes three tickets. When I finally got a hold of each tour guide, she said she never got the reservation from the company. Extremely frustrating. We never got to see the Colosseum with our family. Will never book anything with your company again.

A trip to remember! The best tours ever!

Our family had an incredible experience exploring Rome thanks to these amazing tours! Traveling with kids can be a challenge, but everything was perfectly organized and family-friendly from start to finish. We chose the Skip the Line Vatican Tour and the Colosseum VIP Tour, and both were absolute highlights of our trip. Skipping the long lines saved us so much time and stress – especially with little ones – and allowed us to fully enjoy each site without the usual crowds. The Vatican Tour was breathtaking. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and had a great way of keeping the kids engaged with fun stories and interactive explanations. Seeing the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica without the hassle of waiting was a dream come true. The Colosseum VIP Tour was equally impressive. Our guide really brought history to life – even our youngest couldn’t stop talking about it afterward! The tours were well-paced, informative, and fun. Most importantly, they made the experience enjoyable for both adults and children. We came away with beautiful memories and very happy kids! We can’t recommend these family-friendly tours enough. If you’re visiting with children, these are an absolute must!

The funniest tour we have done in Italy

The funniest tour we have done in Italy! My kids loved it, we are back home and they still talk about the Colosseum. The guide Maria was fun and well prepared, she got all of us engaged. Thank you!

Fantastic!

We had a private family tour with Claudia. We arrived slightly late, and Claudia waited for us. Great contact too! The tour itself was brilliant! Great knowledge and was very good for the kids with games for them to work out what type of gladiator they would have been! The tour was expensive for 3 adults 2 kids it was around £500 however, having a private guide and not a large group made the tour a lot more personal. Claudia had some short cuts, and queue jumps . And overall great value for money. Would highly recommend! In august the heat was unbelievable, and the queues are long so take extra snacks and waters! 10/10 Claudia, thank you! X

Private Tours of Rome is the way to go!

We booked two separate tours, the Colosseum and the Vatican, and they were outstanding! Tomasso was our guide for both tours and he is fantastic! We can't say enough positive things about him, he is great! All expectations were exceeded! Highly recommend!

Verify meeting point & bring ID!

The tour itself was great & our guide Sara was fun, knowledgeable and engaging. However, the address that Trip Advisor gave us as the meeting point to start the tour was wrong, creating confusion and causing us to miss 30 min of our tour time. Call the tour operator directly to get the correct meeting point. Though we got off to a rough start, we made the most of it. (Also, make sure everyone has an ID as it will be required for entrance to the sites, although this wasn’t in the instructions.)
