A really good tour with the Forum and view from palatine hill being the highlights. Guide was very informative and gave us lots of information in a logical sequential manner. Crowds were more manageable withour small group. Highly recommended.
Thank you for your kind review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the tour, especially the Forum and the view from Palatine Hill. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back on another tour soon! Best Regards from Amigo Tours.
The Colosseum is definitely worth a visit. Our guide was excellent and very knowledgeable. She answered all our questions and we learned a lot about Roman history.
Dear Dagmar_L, Thank you for your positive feedback! We're thrilled you enjoyed exploring the Colosseum with us. It's great to hear that your questions were well answered and that you gained valuable insights into Roman history. Warm greetings from the entire quality team at Amigo Tours, Chelsea
Our guide was excellent, she provided a lot of insight and was able to thoroughly answer all of our questions. My only complaint is that the meeting point listed on the voucher took us to a slightly different place from the actual meeting point, causing some confusion finding our guide at the beginning. Other than that, it was great.

Booked in advance for one of the highlights of our trip for our kids 21st birthday. Arrived in plenty of time all checked in with headsets ready . Taken to the entrance to then be refused entry because Amigo Tours had booked a school trip instead. We were told that tickets could not be changed so tour was lost , the guides English became very hard to understand after being very clear before, currently in touch with company we booked through waiting for a response from Amigo and waiting for refund . This trip was a big treat as my kids 18th was during Covid , so we wanted to make their 21st extra special. A visit to Rome is not cheap and to then lose one of the highlights is absolutely infuriating, so so angry .
Amig@ Paul I We apologize for this situation. We have already checked this problem and no doubt this helps us to grow and keep improving. We assure you that we have already taken corrective actions. The refund has been authorized, the follow-up should be given by your agency. Dulce, Amigo Tours
Pure scam, the group arrived at the gates of the Coliseum, our guide was disappointed to realize that amigo tours had bought tickets “school” and not “group”, so the staff of the Coliseum refused us entry and the visit was cancelled. In compensation I was refunded 4€ on a visit to 38€ and the guide could not be paid! Never go through amigo tours, be careful when choosing the visit on the Headout website.
Amig@ anthineaz2021 Nous apprécions vraiment que vous nous fassiez part de votre expérience. Nous sommes vraiment désolés pour ce qui s'est passé et nous allons procéder à l'examen de ce problème avec toute notre équipe. Dulce, Amigo Tours
Out guided tour that we booked weeks ago was cancelled last minute with no explanation, no apology. Many reviews are saying the same so there obviously is an issue with this tour operator. Very, very disappointed as we only had 1 day left of our holiday and was determined to get to the Collouseum. We made our way to Collouseum metro and when we got out was jumped on straight away by ticket touts. In desperation we brought them not with a guided tour (so was a little disappointed about that) but just happy we got in. We paid 3 times the price for the tickets and that was without a guided tour. I have my suspect that is why they cancelled because they knew they could sell it on the day for 3 times the price. Ripoff company with no respect for their customers. DO NOT USE AMIGO'S TOURS, THEY ARE A RIPOFF COMPANY.
Amig@ C2391SRveronicac We are very sorry for this experience, we have tried to identify your reservation, but your user ID does not allow us to locate it for better attention. Please contact us through the mail aux_calidad@amigotours.com, so we can give you better attention. Dulce, Amigo Tours
Amigo Tour Spain messed up our tickets and we was unable to get in on the tour. We wasted about 3 hours under the sun to find out that we will not be able to go in not that day or later. Company sent their apologies and promised to refund through Viator. Very disappointed.
Amig@ Elena_C We tried to localize your booking, but we can not find it. Please, send us an email with your Id booking in order to check this situation. Dulce, Amigo Tours
In order to visit the Colosseum and skip the line, we booked this tour weeks in advance. Just a few hours before the start of the tour the organisation sent us a message, simply saying that the tour was cancelled, without offering any other dates. The reason is they accept all bookings, but don’t obtain as much tickets for the Colloseum itself. So on the day of the tour they simply sent customers a message saying they’re sorry. This is outrageous
Dear doctorb2023, we are deeply sorry to read about your bad experience, we will review this matter with our team in Spain, thank you for letting us, we will take into account your comments to improve! Ivana, Amigo Tours
We were late because we walked wrong and the guide waited a few extra minutes which was awesome! Sorry other visitors you had to wait 😅. Her english was good but could be better to fully understand the complete storie. Also maybe more time for photos or indicatie better how much time you have to make photos at each place. Other than that was really fun and good trip and even though we had the cheaper option we still went very low in the collesium! Thanks for the fun guide :)
Dear Amigo, I am happy to hear that you had fun and liked the job of our guide. We can not leave so much time for photos because we have an itinerary to cover. It is a pity that if you enjoyed the tour but not so much to just leave three stars. We hope to see you back soon.
Very friendly and very helpful, answered all questions and gave us the time we needed to take photos etc! Recommend
Dear Amig@ We are excited to know that you had a wonderful experience with us, thank you very much for giving us the opportunity to accompany you on this occasion; It was a pleasure to be at your service. Mariana, Amigo tours
