The tour was very good, and our tour guide John Tinto was very subject knowledgeable, he was considerate towards the needs of the group ( my wife doesn't walk fast). We got a good tour around the old part and the Coleseum itself. Nothing was rushed and all of our questions were answered with a good depth of knowledge. All in all a fantastic experience.

Best Colosseum Tour

Louis_R, May 2026
This was an AMAZING tour highly recommended. We learned so much that we otherwise wouldn’t have know if we toured on our own. Our tour guide Daniela S. was great!!! She welcomed and answered every question. She was knowledgeable and communicative. Highly recommended!!! Our tour included the colosseum, Palatine hill and Roman forum.

Response from Host, May 2026

Dear Louis_R, Thank you so much for your amazing review and recommendation! We’re delighted to hear that you had such a memorable experience exploring the Colosseum, Palatine Hill, and the Roman Forum with Daniela! It’s wonderful to know that Daniela’s knowledge, communication, and welcoming attitude helped make the tour both enjoyable and informative. We always strive to provide guests with deeper insight and context that truly bring these historic sites to life, so we’re thrilled to hear the experience offered more than exploring on your own would have. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable tour should your travels bring you back to Rome. Until then, we wish you safe travels and all the very best! Kind regards, Carima

The Professor, you won’t be disappointed.

Danielle_R, May 2026
It was fantastic! Our tour guide was like a university professor. He had so much knowledge of history, languages, culture and customs. I did not want the tour to end. He made you want to read up and learn more about the historical periods. He was extremely professional, and warm hearted. He sparked curiosity of all the events that happened within the Roman empire.

Response from Host, May 2026

Response from Host, May 2026

Dear Patricia_H, Thank you for your review! We’re so glad to hear your guide was fantastic and that you found the tour informative. Small groups really do make a difference, and we’re happy it was worth the extra cost for you. We’d love to welcome you on another adventure in the future should your travels bring you back to Rome!

Highly Recommended

Aaron_F, May 2026
This was a small group tour of the Colosseum with arena floor admission. From there we went into the Roman Forum. Truly was a small group tour with only 10 people in the group. Daniela the tour guide was excellent. She was extremely knowledgeable and provided excellent insight into what exactly we were looking at along the way. The tour allowed us to skip the lengthy lines at the Colosseum and the Forum. There was a minimal wait for security check at the Forum, but we breezed quickly into the Colosseum. Don’t think twice and book this tour. Matter of fact consider any tour offered by this company, our experience at the Vatican through What a Life Tours was similarly excellent. Cannot recommend them enough!

Response from Host, May 2026

Dear Aaron_F, Thank you for choosing us for both your Colosseum and Vatican experiences; we truly appreciate it. It means a lot to know that our focus on small groups made a difference and helped you avoid long queues! We’re grateful for your kind recommendation and for taking the time to share your feedback. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to welcome you again on a future tour. Wishing you safe and enjoyable travels ahead, all the best! Kind regards, Carima

Good tour of the Colosseum area.

Gregory_K, May 2026
Overall it was a good tour. Our guide, Carlotta, was knowledgeable and shared a lot of information about the Roman era - almost information overload. But it would be hard without a guide as you wouldn't know what you were looking at. We would book it again.

Response from Host, May 2026

Dear Gregory_K, Rome is a city with such a rich history that it’s almost impossible to take a tour without feeling a bit of information overload. Nevertheless, we’re happy you found the tour informative and that your guide was able to create context for what you were seeing! That’s one of the many perks of having a guide lead the experience; they can make sense of what guests are seeing and, in turn, create a more enriching experience that leaves you with a deeper understanding of the place. It means the world to us that you would book with us again. Whenever you’re ready, we’ll be here and happy to host you; until then, wishing you safe travels and all the very best! Kind regards, Carima

Superb company & superb tour

Andrea_B, May 2026
Great experience & a must to book with this company, once booked you are constantly kept up to date via email & WhatsApp. The meeting place is easy to find with the directions provided via maps. The guide we had named Manuella was superb in every sense. She was so knowledgable about the Colosseum, Palatine Hill & Roman Forum. She really cared about our group staying together &, left nobody behind. It’s a busy tour but an enjoyable one & once over you can remain in the Colosseum if you so desire. Top class & highly recommend 👍🏼

Response from Host, May 2026

Dear Andrea_B, Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review and for choosing to book your Colosseum experience with us! We're delighted to hear that you had such a wonderful time touring with Manuela and appreciated the pre-tour communication. We strive to make the experience as seamless as possible for our guests, and we’re so pleased to hear that our communication, both before and throughout the tour, did just that for you. Manuela does an amazing job keeping the group together while exploring, and it’s her genuine care that truly sets her tours apart. She’ll be thrilled to hear that you appreciated her guidance. Thank you for the recommendation and for choosing What a Life Tours. Wishing you continued safe travels and all the very best! Kind regards, Carima

Celeste_W, May 2026
I highly recommend this guide and this tour. She did an excellent job and her English was clear. She was very knowledgeable and even stopped long enough at great picture sites so we could snap a shot. Our tour was semi private and she even snapped a few important photos for us. Do yourself a FAVOR and book with this company. Not all tours or tour guides are this good!

Response from Host, May 2026

Dear Celeste_W, Thank you for recommending both our company and your guide; it truly means the world to us! We’re thrilled to hear you had a great time exploring and that the history was clear and easy to follow. Thank you for choosing What a Life Tours.

The only way to explore and understand these magnificent sights!!

janet_r, Apr 2026
Having a small group on this tour made it so intimate and easy to interact with the tour guide. The sights are just to impressive. Having the guide share the stories of what we were looking at and to give us a timeline made the sights come to life. Would highly recommend this tour.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Dear Janet_R, Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the small group setting; it really does make the experience more intimate and allows for easier interaction with the guide. It’s wonderful to know that hearing the stories and historical context helped bring the sights to life for you and added depth to what you were seeing.

Brenda_H, Apr 2026
Very informative. Lots of walking with stairs but definitely doable. Vasco is a great guide and extremely knowledgeable

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Dear Brenda_H, Yes! The tour is a 3-hour walking tour, and with the ups and downs of the terrain, there are quite a few stairs and inclines to navigate. However, the pace is more of a stroll rather than a brisk walk, allowing guests time to enjoy what they’re seeing while keeping up comfortably with their guide. We’ll be sure to pass on your kind words to Vasco and let him know just how much you appreciated him guiding your experience! Thank you for choosing What a Life Tours, and we wish you continued safe travels! Kind regards, Carima

We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Vasco; he’ll be thrilled to know how much you appreciated his guidance. Thank you again for your recommendation and for choosing to tour the Colosseum with us. We hope to welcome you on another adventure in the future! Kind regards, Carima

Carlotta, our guide, was amazing. She had great energy and was so informative. I would have missed so many things and been overwhelmed without a good guide.

Rome

rob_w, Oct 2025
Great tour but requires climbing stairs and hills. Would highly recommend this tour and guide to anyone interested in Roman history.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Dear Rob_w, The Vatican was actually named after the hill it sits on, Vatican Hill, and as such, the area has quite a few ups and downs due to the steps and slopes. Nevertheless, we're delighted that despite the walking, you were still able to enjoy the tour. Thank you for the high recommendation; it means the world to us, and we're sure your guide will feel the same way. Enjoy the rest of your holiday in Rome, and we wish you all the best and safe travels! Kind regards, Carima

Good tour - Very knowledgeable

Darlene_H, Oct 2025
We were, unfortunately, a few minutes late for the tour. They called to make sure we were coming, and did wait for us. (Had trouble getting out of a restaurant.) The tour was very good - though - once again - it went much longer than the time listed in the description. Three and a half hours in, we were heading for the next stop. Three of us were exhausted as we had flown in the day before and had toured all day. Guide gave us an opportunity to leave, and we did so. My husband stayed and enjoyed the finish very much. Very knowledgeable guide with LOTS to share. For those of us with less capacity for all those dates and history, a shorter version would have been fine. However, certainly nothing wrong with anything that was done. - Just our personal preference. And when tours go over the listed time, it is hard to plan out the day.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Dear Darlene_H, Thank you for choosing us to guide your Colosseum experience! In this instance, the extra time taken to accommodate your late arrival did contribute to the tour running a bit longer than planned. Nevertheless, we’re delighted that you were still able to experience all the highlights and enjoyed the tour overall. Your feedback is greatly appreciated, and we’ll continue striving to balance thoroughness with timing so guests can plan their day with ease. Wishing you a great rest of your stay and safe travels home! Kind regards, Carima

A very educational tour

John_H, Oct 2025
Manuela was a great guide. Being a former archeologist, she could speak about the Colosseum and Palatine Hill with an archeologist's insight. The whole tour was fascinating. I would definitely do it again.

This experience is well worth it! We had John as our tour guide and he did an excellent job at explaining things and even showing us pictures of how things used to look compared to how they look now.

Remarkable

rcvero, Oct 2025
We were supposed to be on a small group tour and was fortunate to be the only couple on the tour. We were told by the tour guide that this operator takes the word small seriously. They never have more than 6-8 people. Our guide Robert was well versed, took us slowly without rushing us, answered all our questions and was truly enjoyable to be with. The tickets to get on the arena platform IS A MUST!

Coliseum

Donald, Oct 2025
Carlotta our guide was fantastic. She answered any questions perfectly and was so knowledgeable about all that we saw. The Coliseum was all that we had hoped for and more. The perfect tour.

Carlotta is extremely knowledgeable, and we're so happy to hear that not only was she able to answer your questions, but that she did so perfectly! She’ll be delighted to know you had such an amazing time with her; we'll be sure to pass along your kind words. It's truly an honour to be dubbed the perfect tour; thank you so much! We hope the rest of your time in Rome is just as wonderful, if not better. Until next time, safe travels and all the very best! Kind regards, Carima
