You’ll get some amazing photos!

Anitsa_S, Sep 2025

Take this tour!! You learn so much about Rome’s history from the guide, and the Colosseum at sunset provides some really dramatic photos, while having far less tourists to battle for a good shot.

A real sleeper

Michelle_P, Jun 2023

Oh goodness. I listen to a podcast that helps me go to sleep on occasion. The monotone voice is super soothing. This tour was like that. The guide was very knowledgeable and kind but never said her name and was incredibly boring. She was not excited about anything. The entire group of 10 people kept looking at their watches. :) I hate to be bored at the cost of $500 for my family. It lasted 2.5 hours and it was supposed to last 3. No one complained. Bummer overall.

The historical context in...

Marco_D, Aug 2025

The historical context in Roman times is in the following eras, the construction, the uses of the amphitheater over the centuries, the original structure compared to the current one, and much more with this visit. The guide, Sicilian from a village near Enna, very competent and professional.
