Impressive sights, but organization in need of improvement

⭐⭐⭐☆☆ 3/5 stars We visited the Colosseum, the Palatine Hill, and the Roman Forum. The sights themselves are impressive, but the organization significantly worsened our overall impression. The description for picking up the audio guide was unfortunately incorrect or misleading. Instead of going to the Colosseum first, we had to pick up the audio guide at a small public park first. There was neither a stand nor any signage there, so we had to ask for directions multiple times. That cost us about 1 hour and a lot of unnecessary stress. On the positive side, the contact person spoke German and everything worked out in the end. Important: Be sure to take your ID card or passport with you. Without a valid ID, you will be denied entry to the sites. There are security checks at all three attractions. Plan for some extra time for this. Since it gets extremely hot in the summer, we recommend visiting early in the morning or late in the afternoon. The audio guide, on the other hand, was really good. The explanations were easy to understand, and the integrated map made orientation much easier. We also found it less than ideal that the Colosseum can only be visited at a fixed time and each of the three sites can only be entered once. This makes it difficult to plan the day flexibly. Overall an interesting visit, but the organization and the price-performance ratio could have been much better.

$65 per person was not worth it

I thought this was a guided tour but it wasn’t. The video from the app was only less than. 2 minutes. There was no literature and a map that was incomprehensible

Operator response

Please dont think just read when you book tour because you booked for self guided tour then it means you do byself not with tour guide

Must see event

Meeting my concierge to receive the tickets and go over the event was seamless. Very good communication. Good value for the money and a time saver purchasing the tickets in advance.

You pay too much for the same

If you book through here (combi) tickets for colloseum, roman forum, palatina hill you pay far too much. Organization was called Lets Enjoy Tours. Normal maximum price is 18-25 p.p. including palatina museum.....we were not allowed to enter museum. We have been scammed for 50 euros for our feeling. Don't book at lets enjoy......must also call them if you need to exchange your voucher for the real tickets

Amazing and prompt experience

We find Barbara and the rest of the team almost right away. They had our tickets ready and we did the trip at our own pace because we traveled with our daughters. It was actually great! The directions for entry and the path marked at the areas made it very easy. The team was prompt to clearly reply our questions before the visit. We will definitely contact them again!

Thanks 😊

The best Colosseum visit!

The guide was very useful, explained to us what to expect inside, how much walking we have to do, bathroom availability, explained the outside structures and displays, Constantine, short cuts on how to avoid waiting on lines. He is very well familiar with the attraction and answered all our concerns ( I'm mobility compromised and face challenges walking for long). We were well informed about everything.

Thanks alot

Bringing history to life at Colosseum. Great place for Roman Empires.

A great guide speaks clearly, whether through a microphone or small group setting. They should be easy to understand, especially for non-native English speakers, and answer questions with enthusiasm.we found all these qualities in that guide arranged by the team of Let's Enjoy Tours. Strongly recommended.
