Highly recommend Maya for Coliseum tour for families!

Maya was a fantastic guide with so much information in this one hour tour of the Coliseum! We all learned so much and she made the tour enjoyable for our 13 year old granddaughter!

Awesome tour of Colosseum

We had a private tour of the Colosseum with Roberto. We had an amazing time, he was very knowable about the Colosseum and other history. No waiting, we walked right in.

Great tour with Roberto

Our family had a wonderful tour with Roberto. He was very engaging and knowledgeable. The kids loved him and his jokes. We ended up booking another tour with Roberto for another day.

Not a great experience.

Some things everyone should understand. There are always lines. There are always a lot of people. When you book with a travel site you don't know who the actually tour guide company is. 7 Hills shares an office with another tour guide. The other tour guide was not helpful, and they were rude to us. We were not allowed to wait in their waiting room or use the restroom while waiting on our personal guide from 7 Hills. Our start time was changed at the last minute and this caused confusion. Our start was quite sketchy. The guide was a bit of a goof ball but was knowledgeable.

Roberto was a great tour guide and was very knowledgeable and funny. Great fun facts about language and how the words back then hold meaning today.

Colosseum fun

Roberto was a great guide! He took time to explain everything while moving through the big crowds. We'd gladly go again.
