- Enjoy the relaxed pace and feel of a small-group tour
- Catch the history behind the ruins that's easy to miss on your own
- Navigate two large sites with ease thanks to a local guide
- Headsets mean you don't miss a word of commentary

Great information about the Forum, Palatine Hill, and the Colosseum. I would have liked to hear more about the historical phases and drawing the Forum and Palatine Hill ruins into the arc of history. The Colosseum tour was great, but a little rushed through the history and archeological displays.

Dear John thank You so much for Your revew!Hope to see You in Rome agian!
Totally overpriced for what it was. Our tour guide at the forum seemed unenthusiastic and disinterested and we didn’t get any time to actually stop and look at anything or get off the main path. Colosseum tour guide was better and we ended there so we could wander a bit. At least we got to skip the lines. But for the differential between this tour and the entrance fees I was expecting higher quality tours. I wish I could get a partial refund.

Dear Kathryn thank You for Your revew! We have passed this information to the tour guide and we will make sure that she doesnt colaborate with Rome tour in future.Hope to see You in Rome agian!
The guide was excellent in describing the many things at Pompei and the site itself was spectacular particularly the arena and the many well preserved shops, homes and community spaces. The lunch and winery tour were quite nice. We preferred this tour above anything we did in Rome.

We walked all over to find the tour in the heat the address to meet was not where the tour started! Finally found it. So dissapointing would have done better on our own! Would like a refund.

Dear Sherry,we are really sorry about Your Experiences Unfortunately the problem is that You made Your booking trough booking.com as the are partner of viator,the data on Your voucher are not updated and this why we send info trough messages on viator to be on the correct meeting point.We alredy made communication to viator customer care as You are not the first client with the same problem.
Hope to see You in Rome again anyways and we will do our best to give you amazing experience!
This was to have been a small tour up to 20 and water provided. When my party and I arrived at the meeting place two parties were combined. The tour had 35 guests and no water was provided. VIP access consisted of a 1.30 hour wait in line, in the hot sun. Do not recommend.

Dear Sir/Mama it seams that You booked the tour with different company, can u please control.Often it happends that people seeing Rome tour think that all companiesgo under same name.Thank You
We were supposed to start this tour at 10:30 am. We arrived early at 10:15. They rushed us into the tour which was leaving. We didn't get a bottle of water, it was supposed to be a 2 1/2 hour tour which ended up being an hour and 45 minutes, I had a difficult time understanding the guide, and we were supposed to have skip the line tickets. He put us in the regular line then said he had to leave because he had another tour. I was not happy and we certainly get what was described online.

Dear Debra, it seams that You booked the tour with different company, can u please control the name as we never offered 45 min tour for VIP Colosseum and we have accreditation for the Colosseum since 2010.
