Such an awesome experience. Erica was super helpful and explained everything that we needed to know and was also was very easy contact. No lines and the tour group itself was not too big which made it very enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Colosseum Tour.

We had a great tour, and our guide was excellent! Unfortunately, because of the size of the group, those of us toward the back couldn’t always hear the audio whispers, so we missed some of the interesting information our guide was sharing during parts of the tour. That said, seeing the underground areas was absolutely awesome and made the experience worthwhile. Overall, it was a memorable tour, but better audio coverage for larger groups would make it even better.

Highly recommend the nighttime tour!

So cool to see the arena and underground. The tour was brief but informative. At night it was majestic, and far less hot and crowded compared to during the day!

SCAM! Not worth the $$

Extremely disappointing! When we arrived to the meeting spot there was no one there with a tour sign as the directions stated. We had to ask and multiple workers gave us multiple answers. Once we figured out where to go the tour started 15 mins late. Tour was OK, hard to hear the guide even with the headsets. Tour was to last 2 hours but ended in 1 hour. Group size was larger than expected. When purchasing tickets it led you to believe you’d also see the forum with the guide but when the tour ended, it was closed. Sad because we won’t be back as we left the next morning. Not worth the $110 spent per person!
