The tour guide was excellent and very knowledgeable. However it is a very very long tour that starts very early and it should build in more breaks and a short break for food and a sit down

Well guided tour with Alice, considering how popular the sites is, well managed by an experienced guide. Thank you.

Oh I wish I could remember our tour guide’s name. He was so funny and sharp witted. The Colosseum is so crowded but our tour guide was great at getting us past it as much as he could. He had so much knowledge and the tour was fascinating.

Our guide was great (and pointed out all the cat houses at the colosseum 😺)
Aim to get there about 20 minutes before the time of your tour.

We had an incredible tour of the Colosseum, Palatine Hill, and Roman Forum with Alessandra ( our tour guide) , it was truly unforgettable. She is exceptionally knowledgeable, intelligent, and engaging, bringing history to life with her charisma, humor, and enthusiasm. Her kindness and energy made the experience even more enjoyable, and she kept our entire group interested from start to finish. The beautiful monuments and rich history she shared with such passion made this tour a highlight of our trip. Highly recommended!”

Passionate and captivating tour by Enri! Wow! This was my third guided tour of the Colosseum and by far the best. Perhaps the best guide I have had worldwide.
Ayana_G, Mar 2026
Amazing, informative tour and a once in a lifetime experience. We loved it! Note, there's a lot of walking and time on your feet while outside. Dress accordingly and wear comfy shoes!
Patricia_K, Mar 2026
It was a few weeks ago and truly one of the best experiences we’ve ever had. We learned so much about the city, and Demos was definitely the highlight of it. The way he guided us through everything was perfect. It’s an experience we’ll always remember.

The trip instructions & communication sent through from Viator were very good. The trip was subcontracted to Rutas Romanas, our guide (Max) was so knowledgeable on the history of Rome & explained it in a way that you could imagine how it must have felt being there. Visiting this site & the Vatican should only be done with a professional guide, as they are able to give so much more information on things that you'd just walk past.
Peyton_K, Feb 2026
Great scenery and detailed explanation. I cannot wait to go back and I would recommend this booking to everyone.
Cara_D, Jan 2026

Jonathan_S, Jan 2026
My family and i had a wonderful time on our first visit to the Colosseum. It was an amazing experience and Alessia was an outstanding guide.
Dominic_T, Jan 2026
We had an amazing tour guide Leo. He was very passionate and explained us the history of Rome (over 3 thousand years). Worth every penny! Would love to come back and have Leo give us a tour when the weather is warmer. Thank you Leo!
Pearson_H, Jan 2026
Our tour of the Colosseum, Palatine Hill and the Roman Forum was excellent. Despite heavy rain and a few challenging personalities in the group, our guide, Aphrodite, remained engaging, informative and professional throughout. She shared clear, insightful explanations that helped us truly understand the history and significance of each site. Her knowledge and positive attitude made the experience enjoyable even under less-than-ideal conditions. Highly recommended.

We had a fantastic tour of the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill with Sandro. He was knowledgeable, clear, and genuinely engaging without overwhelming us with facts. Sandro explained the history in a way that was easy to follow, with great stories and context that brought ancient Rome to life. He was patient, happy to answer questions, and paced the tour well, especially in busy areas. We came away with a much deeper understanding of the sites and really enjoyed the experience. Highly recommend Sandro if you want an informative and enjoyable Roman history tour.
